SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

Exactly.
BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF SMU FOOTBALL!!!
For some strange reason, one of the few universities that REFUSE to use their school colors: Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue.

Re: Blue Unis Or We Won't Show
Thank you for the correction. I think than someone needs to tell the corral people that since that's what I got first coming to SMU also someone needs to update the Wikipedia for SMU cause it says Harvard Red and Yale Blue.SMU2007 wrote:Nope.

Re: Blue Unis Or We Won't Show
I never liked Harvard-father graduated from Yale Law School-kick Harvard Red to the curb. Maybe let them have small supporting role in highlighting the Blue

Re: Blue Unis Or We Won't Show
So our colors now have no meaning at all...solid move SMU. Should have gone with Harvard-ish Red and Yale-y Blue

Re: Blue Unis Or We Won't Show
if all our fans, actually, scratch that.
if 50% of our fans wore red or blue, i'd be a huge success.
