When did the school colours change from Brown/Orange to Black/yellow??

Retrograde step if you ask me - was there a vote on that or anything? Why the reason for the change?

don't know when it changed over but my daughter started nursery in 1995 and it was yellow then, think it was around 1999 when they introduced black too

Maybe it's a trend that's catching, Thurso High colours changed from Gray & Red to Black & red! Why?:confused

I was in Mount Pleasant from 1970-77. Do they still have the Harold, Sinclair, Thor thing going? I was a Thor.

you're right Fluff, nursery - P3 had to wear yellow but P4-7 were allowed to wear black too, thats why I was thinking 1999 for black but thats when she went into P4

The school colours were brown & gold. It changed in the 90`s to black & gold. This was mainly due to the problem of the supply of brown skirts and trousers by local shops.
Now all the school uniforms are ordered from down south and the selection of uniform items have increased, ie hoodies are now on sale. The school emblem is now embroidered rather than ironed on. Certainly not a retrograde step in many childrens eyes as they smartly walk to and from school

As I have said, the colours are black and gold. It looks more like yellow due to the fact that this is the nearest match the firm would produce. Sad but true.
