<p>Re: post #8 -- According to the Williams website, Williams has only one color, purple. </p>

<p>ilovebagels is right. Princeton's orange and black. D is going but it was hard buying some of the stuff. The black with orange trim is not bad, but the reverse will hurt your eyes. She bought some mugs for people (orange) they can hurt your eyes. However, I am sure she will learn to love them.</p>
<p>I think Cornell has only one color, red. Right? </p>
<p>What's wrong, they couldn't afford a second color?</p>

The black and white of Bowdoin. It's not awful, just bland.

Providece College too, I think.</p>
<p>D said she would not apply to any college that had her HS colors. She joked, of course.</p>
<p>I was thinking that would be a good way save money. We have so many schoolcolor and white hoodies, jackets, and T's. Now we need to buy burnt orange stuff, preferably emblazoned with a football.</p>
<p>blue and gold of Michigan. Ewwwww</p>
<p>lol, I know I'm so biased</p>
<p>But green and white is just so much better</p>
<p>Blue and gold? That's not Michigan's colors kiddo! You are thinking of Maize and Blue. And what do you get when you mix those two awesome colors? That's right, a pukish green color! hehe!</p>
<p>^LOL!</p>
<p>MidwestMom, Cornell's official colors are carnelian and white.</p>
<p>Clemson's orange and purple. Fine separately, combined with white. But from time to time, the football team wears orange pants with purple jerseys. That alone should be a 15-yard penalty.</p>
<p>Here in Georgia, most of the soil is solid clay and when kids play outside and slide in the dirt, the clay stain doesn't come out of their clothes. I was looking at a permanent clay stain last night and realized that that's why I don't like UT-Austin's color.</p>
<p>^ Along the uniform lines, Minnesota's all gold and Syracuse's all orange duds were equally horrendous.</p>
<p>We Providence alumni love the black and white. Classic. Many schools have gone to black as a third uni color. We've always been black and white. Those are the colors of the Dominican friars!</p>
<p>Back in the 70's there was an ill-advised attempt to add yellow as a third color. Did not go well.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt's black and gold doesn't do a thing for me.</p>
<p>I love Williams' purple. </p>
<p>My current state UT (Tenn) has the better orange. Sorry, Longhorns.</p>
<p>My alma mater, Indiana, has great red and white (or cream and crimson, as they like to say)</p>
<p>^Gee, I was about to say how much I hate Vol orange. It's not that it's the worst color, it's just there's an oversaturation of it here in eastern TN. I'm just plain sick of it.</p>
<p>I applied to Northwestern for the purple. I really like that color. Even though I was waitlisted, I still wear the shirt all the time.</p>
<p>Despite their best recruiting efforts I refused to go to Oberlin and play football. At the time, I absolutely hated their colors/uniforms. Just couldn't see myself wearing that. It was very much like McDonalds U. Their uniforms are much improved now compared to then. Now they look more like Boston College. </p>
<p>Btw, I agree 100% about Syracuse's all orange gear - they are really hard to watch when they wear those.</p>
<p>i really don't want to go to a school w/ purple and white-thats been my colors since 5th grade and im sooooooooooo tired of it. everything i own is purple tiger-ed. so yeah sewanee? the purple and white tigers? think not. (granted i dont want to go there anyway)</p>
