As long as the home color palette is limited to burnt orange and white, and there are no deviations from the basics (block Texas, simple longhorn logo, etc.) I don't get too bent out of shape.  I always prefer stormtrooper whites on the road, no changes.  Whoever came up with that cowhide idea needs to be tarred and feathered.

Would an all burnt orange ensemble appeal to anyone as an option when playing aggy and/or 0u at home?

Of course, it doesn't improve jersey sales, but...

I think the Coogs would be smart to just lean into the Oiler blue full time.  I think it would help them with some casuals around town (assuming such a person exists).

The "casuals" exist, but they're mainly UT or A&M fans during football season. They'll tune into UH for hoops, though.

That’s kind of what I was wondering about.  People who are default UT or Aggy fans that aren’t that dedicated and open to other things.

I’d have to imagine Houston is big enough that people like that exist.

I was one of those people as a teenager. UT for football, UH for basketball

Never aggy

When was the last time a college completely changed color schemes? I think I remember Colorado wearing throwbacks a few years ago with powder blue so they made a big change at some point. UH should change their official colors to powder blue and red. Addams family can go fuck themselves. You can’t claim colors and prevent others from using them entirely.  If it’s their full time colors no argument that the limited use is for using the Oilers brand for profit. It would be their own permanent color scheme.

That would be pretty sick of them to do. Would also give them one of the best color schemes in college athletics.

May 28, 1981—Blue officially adopted as the primary uniform color in place of black after a Board of Regents mandate at its January meet ing. Originally suggested to be “the deep blue Colorado of Colorado’s sky at 9,000 feet” by then-Regent Jack Anderson, jerseys were official ly an “Air Force Blue” though different than the blue the Air Force Academy’s sports teams wore. Numerals were silver or yellow-gold, depending on the sport, and outlined in white. The football pant remained gold, but with a blue stripe, for both home and road. Football helmets remained gold but with blue logos. Other programs switched to blue, ranging from road basketball jerseys to golf bags. CU’s trademark south end zone is painted blue, the first color change since it was created after the track was removed in 1966.

1984—The colors are altered slightly, as the blue is enhanced to a darker hue; football goes with gold, borderless numbers and com plaints rain in from many, as players can’t be identified from stands. Black and white photos and game films appear as if players wore no numbers at all. Bill McCartney had the football team twice wear black jerseys (against Oklahoma and Nebraska) in a similar way that Notre Dame broke out its green jersey for big games.

April 24, 1985—“Black is Back” read the release announcing that ath letic director Bill Marolt would allow head coaches of all CU sports teams (then 14 in number) the option of returning to black as the pri mary jersey color. McCartney’s throwback efforts the previous season were the impetus for the change; the football jersey had a blue stripe on the arm for the 1985, 1986 and 1987 seasons before it was dropped altogether in 1988.

December 30, 1985—A standard in basketball, the football jersey has COLORADO emblazoned across the front for the first time for the Freedom Bowl versus Washington. November 28, 1987—Football wears all black for the first time in a 24 7 loss to Nebraska.

1988—Football switches to the black pant for road games. It remains standard for well over a decade, until the 2000 team wears white for a road game at Southern California.

U-Dub's updated adidas uniform is clean. I don't see the point in an abbreviated pants stripe, but whatever.

They always look great, royal purple and real gold are such good colors together.

I hate how most iterations of gold on pants/ jerseys looks a lot more like beige/ tan nowadays.

That's because it's just about impossible to find a consistent gold from helmet to jersey to pants.  We just went from a more mustard-ish gold to a shinier version and it looks so much better.

Yeah, I think teams have gotten away from the "true gold" because it requires a heavier weighted fabric.

Yeah, I'm laughing at the film projector sound effects. When those projectors were last in use, nobody outside of Orange County Florida had heard of UCF.

If they want to talk about legacy they should be forced to be the Citronauts again. Such a better mascot.

Apparently, neither the students nor faculty liked or embraced the "Citronauts" mascot. Florida Tech has been recycled by a D2 school, now, too.

why are you up so early?  what crop do you have in the fields?

I have friends coming into town later this afternoon that I want to have some beers with, and if I didn't work out at 4AM I wasn't going to work out today.

I also have a 2 year old that is in constant motion when she's awake, so the wife and I have worked out a schedule where I get up early and work out in the morning (while kid is still sleeping) and she can work out after work since I take the kid.
