78th Fraser tartan

[OC Richard]

Wilson's colours, at least the few I've seen, are universally better than what I see woven nowadays.

SFU took the Fraser in "ancient colours" they had long worn and changed the pastel "ancient blue" to the dark "modern blue" leaving the rest the same (red-orange and seafoam green). At least that's my impression from the 2010 article and the appearance of the kilts.

And the 78th Fraser Highlanders, who also wore Fraser in "ancient colours", had theirs woven with "modern" dark blue and dark green but retained the red-orange of the "ancient" colours.

Bands order their tartan by the bolt anyhow, they might as well adjust the colours to suit themselves.

But somebody seeing these bands' current kilts might not realise that they're mere colour-variants of the same tartan.
