ya, anyone else not think that orange and white is "traditionally" not our colors?

This is not what you said the first time.

 

[lovemyvols23]

I personally don't care if its nike, or adidas, as long as they stay with tradition, and I agree, orange for bowlgame

I used the words tradition, and orange in the same sentence, and previously mentioned we should NOT wear black for a bowl, should be our traditional colors..........ORANGE N WHITE

 

[The Ron Mexico]

considering that orange and white have been our main colors for a century, and not black, I think speaks for itself

This. This is not true.

 

[lovemyvols23]

This. This is not true.

SOOOOO, UT hasn't traditionally been orange and white?

School Colors

The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore, a 150-pound right guard on Tennessee's inaugural first football team in 1891, and were later approved by a vote of the student body. The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in great numbers on The Hill. Tennessee players did not appear in the now-famous Orange & White jerseys until the season-opening game in 1922. Coach M.B. Banks' Vols won that game over Emory and Henry by a score of 50-0.

This. This is not true.

now what?

I personally enjoy idiots who actually think a clothing logo makes a team better.

But whatever.

I enjoy idiots that don't realize that was the point I was making.

But whatever.

Thank you.

 

[KingNick865]

The point is, is that black, is indeed, an official school color.

 

[lovemyvols23]

Thank you.

so your sticking by your argument that orange/white are not our traditional colors?

That's nice, I might have to change my avatar. And, you could send me a full size of this in the same frame for Christmas so I can hang it above the fireplace--thanks!

Ok, you don't have to send it, but it is nice!:thumbsup:

it is, but none of our teams except the baseball team use it as a prime, it just happens to be in the outlining of our white jerseys

and your point is wrong

I have never said that. Please show me where I posted, "Orange & white are not UT's traditional colors". Remember, somewhere I said it. I was asking a question. That is all. I'll wait.

 

[KingNick865]

It's not like I grabbed that from some random website.

no you just misinterpreted its meaning

 

[KingNick865]

I guess?

It's the schools academic colors I suppose(if there is even, a such thing). But as far as I'm concerned, if it's listed by the UT system as an official school color, it should be fair game for the athletics as well.

First time I've looked at it and I was surprized to see Black, Orange and two shades of blue (neither of which look like the Lady Vols Blue). Where is the white box? The world just changed a little bit. . .:blink:

No, you started this by making up things that I supposedly said on at least two occasions. So, where is it? Where is the post where I said it? Or, you just made it up.

 

[KingNick865]

That's the school colors systemwide. UT-Chattanooga blue replaces orange or black for UTC, and UT-Martin blue replaces black for UTM.
