[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 429882, member: 435"] There was some kind of article which someone posted stating that the CLASS COLORS during the early days at Tech included blue. What most people apparently ignored was that that was a CLASS COLOR. Since every class at most universities world-wide had CLASS COLORS in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, that in no way means that blue was a SCHOOL COLOR. The name "yellow jackets" actually came from the color of the jackets that the men wore to the games in that era, and that is stated in books such as "Dress Her in White and Gold", in which IIRC not one single mention is made of the color blue.
