Matty Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Having a bit of discussion with a bloke at work about the colour of our strips. As far as i am aware the colour was due to our original red/white/blue strips been dyed in the wash and so our maroon was born. How many other teams can you think of that play in maroon? Cheers!
