These are two of my old school ties. The one on the left is not the original tie from my first years but the house colour tie that was introduced in the later years, not exactly sure when but I think it was when we move to New Hall. Each house tie was the same pattern but had different coloured lion emblems in the house colours. Note this tie is not frayed much at the narrow end but is still as the last day I wore it, including food stains. I seem to remember most ties would be ragged and shortened quite considerable after being used as whips throughout the years.

The second tie is the School Lion which I was awarded for both Rugby and Athletics. I never received a Full Colour Tie but as that was yellow with a blue lion crest it seemed more a punishment than an achievement award and I can remember no one who received one actually wearing it.
