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:
“I think there ought to be a club in which preachers and journalists could come together and have the sentimentalism of the one matched with the cynicism of the other. That ought to bring them pretty close to the truth.”
—Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971)
“The sounding cataract
Haunted me like a passion: the tall rock,
The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood,
Their colours and their forms, were then to me
An appetite: a feeling and a love,
That had no need of a remoter charm,
By thought supplied, or any interest
Unborrowed from the eye.—”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
