Hayden Fry gave us the royal blue jerseys with Arkansas Red helmets (with Mustang on side). Dave Smith tried the Ohio State red jersey with silver helmets (a thin blue stripe on helmet and pants surrounding a red stripe). Ron Meyer came up with the Royal blue jerseys and the White helmets with the Red Mustang on the side. He told me, our colors are red and blue, we need to prominently display both colors. JJ would rather our colors be black and blue, I think.


*red and black. He absolutely hates blue

Blue is bad luck. If you wear it you go 1-11.

How do we know June hates blue? I know his love of black has been often discussed but what has he said about blue?

Please tell me that isn't the sum total of the evidence that June hates blue.

I have more evidence that he hates blue than you do that he doesn't :mrgreen:

Sorry BOP, I despise June but I love red uniforms, the color of righteousness and courage!

I would say that what we both have is an absence of any evidence. The perfect storm on ponyfans :)

All statements of "facts" hereby must have their p-value included with them :roll: Jeebus.

You can make a reasonable inference that June doesn't like 1/2 of our school colors based on what he wears, what our team doesn't wear. Our travel warm-ups are light grey, red and black. The only consistent change in our unis has been the removal of blue. No blue unis after June's first year...based on his hiring date, June likely had no input on those first unis. Pretty consistent trend here.

We'll just say the anecdotal evidence favors him disliking blue or at least someone in the organization didn't. It took a ragtag band of ponyfans twittering the AD to get some blue in there.

And I'm pretty sure they only gave in to attempt to bump attendance on an otherwise poorly attended game...not because they take many of our opinions here on Ponyfans or Twitter seriously
