Official School Colors

Post by UnTouchable8 »

Been working on this and finally got it all compiled. You can use these on the boards as well as the NDL2 site if you guys wanna add some color to your articles. I've grabbed about 95% of these directly from each school's visual identity standards manuals so these are all the official web colors the school uses. Hopefully this will get some use!

you know what annoys me, is teams like LSU who call yellow "gold" no your colors are yellow, gold is what ND or Army has.

Every school wants to be unique from everybody else. It's why Michigan uses "maize" and other schools use "old gold" or just names it after themselves. Pretty annoying though.

On their post-spring football prospectus, Colorado lists its colors as "Silver, gold & black."

Thanks for finding the mistakes. I knew I would have a few. I'll fix and repost later tonight.

Black has never been an official school. They started wearing black because people didn't think silver and gold went well together.

They actually wore this helmet for a few years in the 80's:

This is the throwback uniform they wore a few years ago:

I've read that silver and gold were CU's official school colors to represent the state's heritage.

I know you work there and all but this is where I got UTSA's colors from:

Looks like it's one number/letter different from yours on each one.
