Does anybody know the actual colour name of our navy blue ? Please don't answer navy blue as there are many types of navy blue. I am after the specific colour of navy blue. maybe it might be a dulux colour?
Any ideas :screwy:

would probably be better if you got the Pantone code.

I reckon it was a darker (and better) blue with the older styles of jumpers.

Logo colours seem to have varied a bit.

The official colour of our Navy is "Oxford Navy".

If that sounds a bit weird, Oxford Navy is also the official Navy colour in the Sturt strip in SANFL.

To ellaborate, Sturt are called the double blues not only because of the colour of their strip, but also the fact that their home oval is at the corner of Oxford and Cambridge streets in Adelaide. Oxford and Cambridge are both the "official" shades of Blue in their Guernsey!

The pantone ref. has been discussed on here before. I'm sure somebody has the correct reference on a post somewhere?


How's that Jerusa. Not bad 'ey???
