SMU Colors

Postby Ponymon » Thu Apr 19, 2007 1:16 pm

Well it looks like Richard Sweet has finally decided what the school colors really are and it looks like Ponyfans.com and smumustangs.com will have to lighten up! His new blog has examples of the colors:

It looks like the Uniforms might be a lighter hue of blue and a darker hue of red.

I like the colors-pretty much what I thought SMU's colors were for 35 years until the last Traditions Committee got ahold of them.

I think we need a New Old Original Post-Death Penalty Authentic Traditions Committee and Focus Group to get it right. I think if we join hands and sing Kum Ba Ya at the Peruna marker at Ford Stadium and conduct a seance to bring back the spirit of Ray Morrison, we can nail the mystery of the Mustang tradition once-and-for-all. Ray will know what "blue" to use... and he may even help with a few plays to run on the goal line.

Somebody put them up on this board, please.
I can't link to a blog through work, and I forgot to do it at home, and I'm itching to see the new colors.

Though I might be the only one, I really dig the colors they have now. I just wish that they would play with the dark blue jerseys once in awhile.

Wait a year or so. They'll be back. It's a "tradition".

So the official school colors are "SMU Red" and "SMU Blue"?

Whatever happened to Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue?

According to the Public Affairs Color Guide site ( http://smu.edu/publicaffairs/colors.asp ) they "evolved" into the current "official" colors. Evolution evidently now affects colors too. :roll:

Our evolved blue is not even close to Yale blue. http://www.yale.edu/printer/identity/yaleblue.html

Ever get a good look at Harvard crimson? It's basically a maroon color.
