I agree. I use a Blue Long on my main outfit and personally, I like wearing it even more than the Purple. The shade of purple on the Purple Long rarely matches anything. But people prefer whatever's rare and staples like spikes and den betas' worths are probably never gonna change.

I think the "blue is a decent long" thing stems from people not accepting blues for high demand items. But I don't see why that made people think blue is no longer a good long. No one accepts oranges for high demand items either, yet I don't see people trying to make orange a new "Super Bad" Long or something like that.
