"We feel it is time for a change of image...."
-- Philbert Deverill, Puddlemere United manager (DP1)
Team manager Philbert Deverill announces to the Daily Prophet that Puddlemere United will be changing the colour of their team robes from mud-brown to kingfisher blue (DP1).
Puddlemere win their next game against the Wigtown Wanderers – wearing the new colours and aided by the performance of their new Chaser Wilda Griffiths (DP2).

Notes
In Quidditch Through the Ages, Puddlemere United is said to have navy-blue robes (QA7). There is no mention of mud-brown (DP1) being changed to a kingfisher blue (DP2). Puddlemere won their next game in the new colours - so although fans dislike having to buy new team robes or souvenirs when colours change, winning will make it more palatable.
Although the dates printed on the Daily Prophet Newsletters are:
the timeframe for these events is 1992-1993.
