Id be interested to hear your reason..

In the old days the Dubs wore sky blue and white not navy so you have it arseways

The story goes Kevin Heffernan changed them from white to Navy blue to make the Dubs look bigger and more intimidating..Bill Shankly had changed the Liverpool shorts from white to red for the same reason previously

Two different reasons here given http://www.hoganstand.com/Dublin/MessagePage.aspx?PageNumber=0&TopicID=40110

In the old days every country had white shorts, I think Down in the 60s were the first county to change

Hurlingdub has it right there. They were changed in the early 70's so they could be distinguished on TV from Kildare. Never changed them back.

Dublin City Council adopted the Dublin colours, not the other way around.

Didnt Dublin wear a dark shade of blue when they played Tipperary on bloody Sunday? Tipperary unusually wore white with a green band. Grangemockler which is the birthplace of Michael Hogan went on to adopt these colours
