In British rowing tradition, a dark blue is a member of the Oxford University rowing team — as opposed to Cambridge's light blue. The color distinction comes from the universities' official colors and is central to the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race identity. Earning a dark blue is a significant athletic achievement, and the term is used as both a noun and adjective in rowing and university sporting contexts.
