Club Logo and Colours
While the first kits used by Hermes were red and white, the club then adopted typical railway identity, using blue color through most of its history. Traditional Železničar's kits were striped in blue and white, but also other combinations of those colours were used in later years. Although sometimes playing in all-blue, the team was nicknamed as Modro-beli (Blue-whites) and the club's logo used stripes as the railway symbol. Former logos also featured various similar images, including legendary railway wings and modified Slovenian Railways sign. During the first league era from 2002 on, the unpopular green logo with a dragon was used, resembling too much the one, that is used by rival Olimpija. However, it was only actually used in blue on the kits. The fairly distinctive sky blue-white combination, used in those first league years, was later replaced by all-blue.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or colours:
“Mi advise tu them who are about tu begin, in arnest, the jurney ov life, is tu take their harte in one hand and a club in the other.”
—Josh Billings [Henry Wheeler Shaw] (1818–1885)
“Your wits can’t thicken in that soft moist air, on those white springy roads, in those misty rushes and brown bogs, on those hillsides of granite rocks and magenta heather. You’ve no such colours in the sky, no such lure in the distances, no such sadness in the evenings. Oh the dreaming! the dreaming! the torturing, heart-scalding, never satisfying dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
