HOUSTON BLUE in the BAYOU CITY
Houston Blue's history in the Bayou City includes a decorated history inside – and outside – the sports arena.
In the early 1920s, the City of Houston's original street markers were installed as light blue, and white tiles were fitted into drying cement curbs, with approximately 4,000 still in existence today.
In the 1960s, the Houston Police Department began using the color on their cars.
The Houston Buffs, the city's minor league baseball team (eventually replaced by the Colt .45s in 1962), sported blue lettering on white or gray jerseys. In 1960, the team wore blue caps with a white "H" on the front. In 1961, their jerseys featured light blue lettering.
