Dark blue felt cap embroidered with the initials OUBC in white, and two crossed oars behind. Small rounded peak at the front.

An oarsman earns his Blue in the Boat Race when he has passed the end of Fulham Wall. Oxford's dark blue dreives from Christ Church, while Cambridge's light blue may owe its origin to Eton College.
