Guest BEAVERTAIL Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Ryan4VT i know your big into football and stuff but please dont make fun of the chmara blue. It means a lot to me and a lot of former players, coaches, and fans. I know you have a lot of passion for richlands football, as did i when i was going to bluefield high, and still do now. Just give coach Chmara some respect. thats all i ask. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's my take on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I agree. I dont think he was making fun. He was simply asking why we had that color and such Basically after his missed that FG to tie the game with us the coach ran over and started talking major crap to him for missing the kick. Then other players ran over to break them up, then the cops. and he pushed one of bluefields finest and then it was on. The coach was put in jail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,557 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I was in no way trying to make fun of the color. I love that blue and I was wondering where it came from and such. Im sorry if I offended you in any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanctagon 11 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 [ QUOTE ] The traditional school colors are maroon and white but over the years a little blue and a touch of silver have been added but I believe the official colors are maroon and white. [/ QUOTE ] It's Cardinal, not maroon. and the blue was first introduced in the 60's. I think the '67 championship year Beaver had blue jerseys. This years blue matches the 60's blue. The Chmara blue of '04 is one of a kind. also Beaver has worn tan colored pants in the 70s and 80s as well as the silver colored pants but i don't think they would be official team colors.

oldskool 10 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Graham's official colors are Gray and Maroon. It's in the fight song. I think the cardinal and gold came about when coach came and everybody knows how much he liked the Redskins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
