At least that's how I remember it.
From AI: "If you're referring to "Powder Keg Blue", the light blue color associated with UCLA football uniforms, it is generally credited to Red Sanders, UCLA's football coach from 1949 to 1957. When Sanders arrived at UCLA, he changed the team's uniforms from dark navy blue to a lighter shade of blue, which he nicknamed "Powder Keg Blue", describing it as "powder blue with an explosive kick."
