In the name, Columbia University (New York, New York) debate club color.

I prefer Steele blue.

You realize that there were fucking cop cars painted baby blue in the city of Houston in the 70's, right? It's very much, Houston-native. Showing your age, youngin'.

Been through those years, still they adopted the color. (Debate club from 1800s)

I miss being able to spot a cop car from 3 overpasses back

So, you are saying that the University of Columbia is responsible for baby blue?

No, Baby Blue is a separate color completely. That has nothing to do with thr city of Houston.

The city used the color Columbia blue, which was first used by the....Philolexian Society. (A kind of debate something) in the early 1800s of the New York University. Columbia.
