The hearts colours were Mrs Miles Valentine - Pink with Cherry Hearts - geddit?
Lord Howard de Waldens colours were/are Apricot. The variations you see are just printing variances. |

Agree with Sharpo but it was Only For Life that started it for me.
Formoftheace-Captain Christy carried a Cross of Lorraine not too bad I think. Others I liked all for selfish reasons. Lord Roseberry Jock Whitney Jim Joel Charles Englehard Paul Mellon Sir Victor Sassoon Have to agree about the Dartboard awfull. |

I was looking for those colours from ground level at Newmarket when lycius went clear in the 2000 guineas only for me to see the lady beaverbrook colours at the very last minute getting up

Re Lord Rosebery's colours are cleverer than you might think - Rose and Primrose Hoops - Rose for obvious reasons and Primrose because it is/was his family name. Being a Brighton fan, I have always had a soft spot for stripes. Lord Tavistocks Purple and White stripes with a classy Black velvet cap and Ryan Jarvis' Red and Yellow stripes were pretty flashy

There is a set of lifetime colours that used to be owned by Huntley of Huntley and Palmers. Any ideas? No looking up in your B and H, if you have one. Mine is number 45 of the 1000 limited edition issues

When I registered a set of colours in 1998, I was originally going to have royal blue and white striped sleeves, in honour of the Brighton strip, but then that incredible Croatia team, with their red and white checked shirts, dumped the Germans out of the World Cup 3-0, so I compromised and registered royal blue and white checked sleeves.
If only I could have foreseen what Tony Bloom was going to achieve, I would have moved heaven and earth to register a full set of royal blue and white stripes. Think what they might have been worth! At the time though, I just knew of Bloom as someone who once or twice turned up on-course with a terrible punter called Fat Harry Findlay to back losing odds-on shots. |

Your post reminds me of those sharp, bright sparks at the onset of the on-line revolution who registered and copyrighted website names as the likes of RBS, MandS,Virgin etc; foreseeing that eventually those organisations would want to do likewise and would have to cough up for the privilege.

TESTING APRICOT COLOUR ████████

Major L B Holliday. White, black hoop and armlets , black cap.
Hethersett , should have won the Derby with Harry Carr. Brought down by a falling horse 6 furlongs out. Showing my age now. |

No doubting Lord H d W,s were Apricot. My own fav was the Maroon and White of Sheikh Mo and surprised hardly a mention. My own involvement was a rip off of Dave Nevisons white with a red disk ( Rising Sun ) and a plagiarism of Michael Tabors.

Brians - Major Holliday's colours were Maroon not Black. Looked Black on a B/W telly though.

Blackbarn.Should have included Major Holiday in my list.
Brian.How about Proud Chieftain winning the Roseberry Handicap at Kempton about 1960 for the Major. Definately showing my age |
