Argos are teasing...something...

There's no historical significance. it was "slate green," chosen by president Bob Nicholson as part of a $50,000 effort to revitalize the brand. The logo was OK, and parts of the ultimate uniform design (after 1995, that is) were very sharp, like the portholes on the leg stripes. But the colour change was misguided at best. Taking something that had been known for more than a century as Double Blue, and removing one of the blues? Come on, man.

It was the 90s and teal was in. But misguided at best is a nice way of putting it. It didn't look bad, truthfully, but like you say, toying with over 100 years of history, is nearly unforgivable.

Funny thing, when the Argos introduced the logo/colours in 1995 it was Slate Green. I bought the launch t-shirt with the logo and lightning behind it. As the seasons went on, the dark/grey Slate Green clearly changed into the 90’s “Sea Foam” shade that was more prevalent in sports uniforms.
