Wow - talk about hypersensitivity to colors.
I bought a pair of Nike Livestrong Shocks that mostly grey with black and gold trim. Took me only one second to get over the fact they were black and gold. They looked sweet, and all but the tax on the price went to cancer research. |

The fine folks at the trailer parks had to cheer for someone in the 80s after both football programs sucked as bad as they did. Fry stepped up to the plate and took it, and neither Walden nor Criner was able to do anything about it. |

If my memory serves me correctly, Iowa State College's original colors were black, gold, and silver. Of course, this was back in the 1800's when we first formed and I believe we changed so that we could set ourselves apart from u of i. |

My HS colors were B&G. Never really cared then but now I can't even stand the site of a bumble bee. | | | |

We changed from black, silver and gold because it was too difficult to dye varsity sweaters and athletic uniforms those colors, which is what schools had to do in order to have anything to wear. |

Whenever I stumble (or used to stumble, thank-you BTN!) upon a Hawkeye basketball game in Carver on TV it would make me sick to my stomach. The combination of colors, terrible camera quality, and all around dullness of the presentation just makes it unbearable.
On the other hand when a game in Hilton is on TV, its like the heavens are donning a certain glow on the entire event. | | | |

You want to talk about bad colors, my high school was Red and Green.
It was Christmas 24/7/365 in Boone. |

On the other hand when a game in Hilton is on TV, its like the heavens are donning a certain glow on the entire event. I have noticed that Hilton always seems much, much brighter and more colorful than most arenas on TV. Must be something about the lighting, but I love it. The brightness really gives off a lot of energy, and you lose that sense when you watch all the other dank pits around the nation. | | | |
