[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 695522, member: 4572"] I made an entire post about that point. The overwhelming majority of schools offer more secondary/tertiary color options because most primary colors are very garish. Even the schools that have the most options for their primary color are only 50/50 at best between primary and secondary/tertiary options. But while I’m at it. Let’s add some pro teams to the list: [LIST] [*]New Orleans Saints - well known for being black and gold. Tell me how many gold items you can find here: [URL]https://www.fanatics.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/t-shirts/o-1361+t-03048131+d-19449179+z-9-518235594[/URL] I found 1 sweatshirt, and that’s it. There were more gold Drew Brees Pro Bowl jerseys than there are anything licensed by the Saints that’s gold. Hell, there’s more St. Patty’s day green than there is gold.

Look at the items in my old post. Most teams offer at least 50/50 in retail items for secondary vs primary color options. Why?
