From the historical kit link above
“Wearing distinctive salmon pink shirts with maroon trim (the colours of the city's trams) they were nicknamed "The Shrimps," and finished as runners-up in their inaugural season. In 1902 they won the championship”.
https://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Portsmouth/Portsmouth.htm
So, we have mention of the cities trams, and below we have BS colour charts that state they are derived from the shades of Trams used in Britain, and Salmon Pink is detailed ; but Pompadour Pink has no mention at all.
“Many colour names as used for trams were standardised in the 1930s by the British Colour Council and some of these have passed down into British Standard BS 381c, which contains such names as Signal red and PO (Post Office) red, and describes colours used for utility, municipal and military purposes. Many of the names used in British period tramway records tie up with colours in the standard. This colour chart shows the BS 381c shades for guidance only. Appearance will vary between different screens. For printing use a glossy paper with the printer set for the highest quality. Beneath the colour names are the RGB component values for each shade”.

If Dirk Buffoon had re-read his posted article, it has 3 paragraphs going on about the Essex regiment ie nothing to do with Portsmouth
If he had bothered to do some research, he would have found that there are 4 possibilities for the nickname and one of those has do do with a french ship called La Pompie in a mutiny at spithead in 1797, and another has to do with writing in a log all ships entering the harbour and shortening the entry to Pom. P short for Portsmouth Point which was happening before Portsmouth fc was formed.
If he had bothered to do a bit more research he would have found out that some of the local trams were painted salmon pink with maroon trims, and this was what the first Pompey kit was based on. As usual though his emotions drive his mind rather than reading the info and letting logic take his thinking over. |

Why don't you read the article that you posted again, and try to work out where you have gooned out.
I may come back on later today or tomorrow to see how you are getting on with this 'challenging' task |

Haven’t posted on this site for around 2 months.
But yeh, I’ve been on the message-board all night
Glory Pat, dribbling on and on again with nonsense. I guess this is what happens when your local glory team implodes in a big way |

Oh dear, I've come back from the pub and typed in a T rather than an E
Its almost as bad as travelling 70 miles up the road twice a month to see the worse team in Soton history, and then having real Bournemouth fans tell you how crap 'your' team is.
Dribble, dribble, dribble, all that dribbling skill 'your' club used to have has now disappeared and gone up the road to Dorset. |

I believe basketball was only ever mentioned once, maybe twice, whereas you have mentioned you live in Poole about 150 times or more.
Must be tough driving a 70 mile round trip to see a considerably worst team than the one based in your town, the town where you were born and grew up in.
You glory hunter. |

You seem to be struggling to accept that this season will be your worst ever season ie your worst set of results in your entire 140 year history.
Not sure why you need to hide this fact up, and say that it is in your top/ bottom 3 worst ever seasons. It will be your worst ever season FACT.
It must be hard living in Poole and supporting a team from outside your town knowing that the town in which you live will have a better team for the next 5, 6 , 7 years or maybe even a decade.
It would explain the irrational anger being displayed here. |

When you get relegated this season in last spot, would it be more accurate to say that you finished
A) In the bottom spot
B) In the bottom three
C) In the bottom six
Please take your time on this, as you do seem to be struggling here |

He'd be better off going to Bournemouth or even Brighton. He'll get lots of development and PL games |
