You can buy whatever you want to buy; nothing's stopping you from doing that. But I HATE blue in our uniforms. Do you honestly think the white jersey and blue pants we wore against Duke, and the all blue unis we wore in the bowl game were not DRAB? WOW !!! Looking at the unis for the Duke game was like watching a game in black and white; there was absolutely no color at all, and the all blues one in the bowl game were probably the ugliest unis I have ever seen, short of the crap that Oregon wears. One reason Navy is the #1 color garment purchased is that there is never anything worth a damn offered in gold, or if there is, they only have kids' sizes. As far as your comparisons with other schools, UVA nor Auburn have white, so it doesn't matter whether we have orange or not. If PSU ever wears blue jerseys with white pants, or white jerseys with blue pants, then yes, they are a valid comparison. The biggest problem we had this past year with navy, however, was that when we wore it, there was no gold to be seen, other than the numbers on the bowl unis. The logo is obviously entirely distinctive, but so are our colors, which have been our colors, with random exceptions, since year zero, if not on the unis themselves, certainly on the garments worn by the fans.
