The Blues Association

A Blue is an award earned by sportsmen and women at a university and some schools for competition at the highest level. The awarding of Blues began at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. It is found at British and Australian universities.

The University of Sydney awards Blues for outstanding sporting achievement. Blues are nominated in October at the conclusion of the annual university sporting calendar and the successful nominees are presented with their Blues at the Annual Blues Dinner. Blues earn the right to wear the Blues jacket in the traditional stripes of Blue and Gold with the Sydney University Shield.

The Blues Association at Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness maintains funding for 'Blues' sporting scholarships and holds reunion functions for past Blues.
