13th August this year marks our 140 year since Singers FC was formed.

Should it be celebrated?

Should we have a black kit with a red ‘S’ on it?

Are we the oldest Skyblue club?

Only Sky Blues since August 1963, Man City much longer but as far as I know never been called Sky Blues, if you say that anywhere in the country it would be associated with us.

Don’t get stitched up over this, although it has given me the needle.

In terms of nickname yes, however our first Sky Blue kit was in 1889. In fact from the point we changed from being Singers to Coventry City in 1898 we played in Sky Blue almost every season up until 1922.

Great website here with all the old kits:

They have never been called the Sky Blues. Their nickname was always the Light Blues!
