[QUOTE="chris975d, post: 695521, member: 3766"] Again, I get it. And I was actually going to post kind of what you just said. Of all the teams that I can think of that use a true metallic gold as a primary color (ND, FSU, Vandy, Wake, Purdue, South Florida, Pitt for a while, got to be some others), every one uses that “primary” gold in a secondary/lesser fashion to the other primary color...i.e., the technically primary gold actually is used almost as an accessory color to the other main color. It’s tough to use a true gold as a primary/predominant color. So using that formula/pattern, if you will, our gear would actually be mostly white (our non gold primary color), with gold complimenting that. Wake/vandy/Purdue are typically black with gold highlights, FSU is garnet with gold accents, ND is navy with gold accents, etc. And I agree, we could be different and embrace gold as the MAIN primary. But we didn’t, for whatever reason. It may very well have been driven by the apparel companies saying they didn’t want to make that much gold. That I don’t know. And we as a school opened Pandora’s box when we made navy even an option, as any/all apparel companies are usually gonna jump on that. [/QUOTE]
