All,
Can someone tell me the authentic blue colour and gold colour for the eels?
There appears to be a many variations out there.
Is there a super freak that can tell me the actual (authentic) colour codes.

Cool. Blue & Gold.
I'm glad we don't have some stupid name for our colours like a Bunnings colour chart.
I'm sure one team dose.

I'm not sure that colour chart is correct. I know the blue is called marine blue. Checking with ISC would be best way to find out.
Over the many years of supporting the eels, there have been as many changes in the shades that would make all those who have facelifts/ body tucks and the like feel like they have been had, and likely go for more.
The most consistent colours worn by the eels were those of the old B&G banded colours, those colours were deemed and everyone called them as Royal Blue & Gold, the term Royal was generally dispensed with and just the B&G refered to.
When the emperor changed the design, the colours were still basically the same, but over the years, the colours have been much akin to a dogs breakfast. The colours in the Avenger's link is pretty much righ regarding the blue, but the gold/yellow is a bit too light.
I'm sure the club has a branding guideline document which would be available to all their affiliates. All the detail should be in that. Maybe ask the club for a copy.
The most recent jerseys 2019,2020 are what I would consider to be our true colours of blue and gold. I hope the club can formalise this so our jerseys from here on are as consistent as our rivals.
I agree that last 2 years were more akin to the original colours more especially the blue one, the gold is not far off. What I do not like about them though is the bands do not go all the way round the jersey and have the vertical blue down from the arm pits. I for one do not like the reverse jersey though and rather see the other more traditional one used for away games.
