We call it Anthracite as that is what Jank calls it

It is called anthracite because that is the color it is.

People are sensitive about their colors around here. Just to clarify, I love the anthracite and comments were an ill attempt at a joke.
To further expound, I have a 1962 Beetle project car that needs paint. My favorite stock color that year......"L469-Anthracite"......which will likely be sprayed on my car.

If UH wears white, we might not be allowed to wear anthracite. Light hues on both teams can be a problem.

Doesn't Houston have black uniforms?
If they wear those we can do our own stripe-out and half our guys in red and the other half in white.

Wouldn't Houston wear red if they are having a red out?

Yes, but they won't wear stripes. They were promoting red early on.

I hope we go back to a good uniform. The ones this year are horrible. Especially that dark grey can't see the number beauty.

I received an email from them, I guess b/c I bought my tickets from them, telling about the stripe the stadium and them giving out either red or white t shirts.

I really hate the anthracite uniforms. They show up very poorly on TV and the red numbers are almost impossible to see absent a close shot. Anthracite is not our color and I fail to understand why we wear this uniform.

I agree, but the team seems to like them. Plus, we are undefeated in them except for the Cincinnati game, so I bet we keep wearing them which is cool with me they are kind of sweet
