  Would be happy with the home shirt but for me the winner is that white away shirt. Have never bought an away kit but would happily get that one.

  White shorts when I joined in the early 90s. Then black. Don't remember blue but if it was very dark blue ...
  

  
  One of the strips in the last couple of years (I think 18/19) had Prussian Blue shorts

  Interesting. What shirt went with that?
  
  Also wonder if the kit designers knew of the significance.

  I think it was this one. https://www.quins.co.uk/news/harlequins-launch-201819-home-and-away-kits/ which would suggest that they did add the blue deliberately.
  
  And it may have officially been something like “madras blue”.

• I don't give a finger of fudge which shirt they wear - just beat Montpelier by 15 points.

  Yes, I think it is only for away games in Europe and Big Game. So, for those that don't care for it, we may not see it again until our semi away to Racing! (Fingers crossed!!!)
  
  Of course, it may also get a run out against Glaws at the Big Summer Kick Off but I really hope we wear our traditional colours for that one.
  
  For me, I love the home kit this season and last season and also love the Prem winning Red and white kit. It will be interesting to see what Castore offer us next season!

  As Graeme Garden once memorably said in a game of "Complete the Advertising slogan" on I'm sorry I Haven't a Clue:
  
  "A finger of fudge is just enough...." "...to join the Euphemism Society!"
