I know that national soccer team jerseys are usually based on the country's flag - except, notably, Australia, which is apparently based on the national flower, and Italy, which uses the colour of the old royal family. But what about Japan? I found that they were wearing blue jerseys at the 1936 Olympics, and won their first ever game, so they took it as a good omen and continued to wear blue. But why were they wearing blue in the first place? Is blue typically associated with Japan? Adam Bishop ( talk) 23:37, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
