Several schools had blue sweaters. Here there were several shades. A dark navy blue color seems to have been the most common, but we note a few schools with royal blue sweaters. In addition to blue we noted quite a few other colors being used for school uniform sweaters. We also noted brown, green, maroon, and red sweaters. Red was the brightest color we saw being used for school sweaters
Many of the sweaters that were not grey were crew-neck rather than "V" neck sweaters. We also note some white sweaters, but these were more games sweaters than normal school sweaters.

Brown was not a very popular color, but we noted a few schools with brown sweaters, both dark brown and tan.
We did not notice many schools with green sweaters. The ones we noted had dark green sweaters, normally done as crew-neck sweaters. I don't recall any green V-neck sweaters. As the geberal rule crew necks were usually done in colors other than grey. We have not noted green sweaters done with school color trim.
Only a few schools had maroon sweaters.
After blue, red was probably the next most populsr color. We believe that this was a relatively recent development. When blazers were more commonly worn, few schools had brightly colored sweaters.
We also note some white sweaters, but these were more games sweaters than normal school sweaters. White sweaters were often worn for cricket. Some of the white sweaters had colored trim, but not in the school colors like the grey sweaters.
