The 1891 Kentucky State College Blue and Yellow football team represented Kentucky State College—now known as the

Centre–Kentucky game on December 19. A student asked "What color blue?" and varsity letterman Richard C. Stoll pulled off his necktie, and held it up. This is still held as the origin of Kentucky's shade of blue. The next year light yellow was dropped and changed to white.[1]
