Didnt coventry change their kit in the 70's to skyblue? So therefore we should have the right to be called the sky blues before them.

They also had that brown kit so by rights they should be called the shit browns.

Always played in sky blue as far as i can remember.

Hais Matheos btw. Are you a German person? We have another one of you on here. He's strange too although he does try to spell correctly.

Playing Kit

Coventry's home shirts are now always sky blue. However this hasn't always been the case. During the 1880s and 1890s, the club used black and red. Sky blue was first used by Coventry in 1898, the sky blue theme was then used until 1922, the colour made its return in 1962 thanks to the then manager, Jimmy Hill. This season, Coventry are using sky blue and white stripes, a design that has been used three times this millennium. This is a contrast to the late 1990s where sky blue and navy stripes were chosen three times. To mark the 125th year of the club, Coventry will wear a special brown shirt on the last day of the 2008-09 season against Watford. The choice of a brown kit is owed to the infamous brown Admiral kit that Coventry had worn in the 1970s. For the 2009-10 season the club will revert to a sky blue shirt, rather than stripes.

It's part of the reason that I support City, believe it or not. I remember flicking through those cards when I was a nipper, wondering who I should support. Living in Manchester, my choice was City or United. The United card I found had a drawing of a scary-looking thing, complete with horns and a pitchfork and the nickname "The Red Devils". The City card contained a drawing of a tall, handsome, slightly snooty-looking player and the nickname "The Citizens". I was scared of the devil, City's nickname sound a bit more cultured and the rest, as they say, is history.
