We call it Anthracite as that is what Jank calls it
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.

soccermom (who I totally trust) said they are going to try a red/white stripe-out!
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
