Talk:Blue (university sport)

message: This page is a modified copy of the Cambridge Blues page that generalises the information to cover Oxford University  and other places that award Blues. The Cambridge Blues page is unaltered but I would hope that people interested in that page might care to change it to a redirection to this more general page.Bduke 03:02, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The page may need tidying up, but a lot of the information is in common between Oxford and Cambridge. Also material on Oxford (amd the Australian National University) has been added. Note that while I suggested redirecting the Cambridge page, I did not do it. I merely reported that it had been done above. I did not want to write about Oxford Blues separately, as I know nothing much about them. I just wanted a sensible link from an Oxford College page. Please try to modify the page to get the Oxford stuff correct. Bduke 22:49, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

text: I have removed the reference to Quarter Blues. The article does need more on female athletes and the Ospreys (and maybe a separate article on the Ospreys). Why don't you add stuff? Bduke 21:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Yes. I had already added something about Blues at the Australian National University which are given somewhat along the lines of University Sports Blue. Bduke 21:28, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Agreed. I wish people would search a bit more before creating new articles. They would often find it is already done. Bduke 06:16, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Note Oxford Blue redirects to University Sporting Blue. We are discussing Oxford blue. Bduke 06:20, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, Oxford blue is actually a colour, as opposed to Oxford Blue, an award, so maybe the page should just be edited to reflect that, with a link to University Sporting Blue at the top for people who type it in incorrectly. Rmbyoung 11:22, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup and expansion 

message: I have just found the page University Sports Blue which mentions university sporting awards in general but contains very little content. I propose merging it into this article, if any of it is not already included, as the subject matter is basically the same. Rmbyoung 21:23, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merging 

message: I propose renaming this page to University Sporting Colours as it is now covering more than the "Blue" universities.
I'll second that. Could one more knowledgeable than myself please include a piece on the Durham University 'Palatinate'?
As the person, who broadened it first from being just Cambridge, I agree. Moving it will leave this page as a redirect and also move this talk page, so use the move button. Please sign you comments here. --Bduke 22:18, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rename 

message: It would be useful if contributors could describe what the holders of each university's colours award are entitled to: a blue scarf, for example.213.202.133.136 16:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Entitlements 

message: The CUBC and CUWBC websites use a different HTML colour code than is used here - they have #A4D7BB whereas this page gives #96C8A2 Gingekerr 10:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cambridge Blue HTML code 

message: Is it a scarf, or a certificate, or a jacket, or a trophy, or some abstract thing which cannot be physically held?
It is an abstract thing, which gives you the right to wear the jacket, scarf etc.
