I hate to say it but I agree with Stallion on the Harvard and Yale colors

Actually Stallion we have worn the school colors...or damn close. Love the BIG SMU on the jersey and the stripes on the pants.

Nike could do this for us in 2004...surely they could do some thing similar for us again (big SMU, stripes on pants,etc.).
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.

Stallion, you prefer the junior high blue to the Yale Blue? I am sorry the color of blue that is in the end zones at Ford is just UGLY!

the above picture is nowhere close to Harvard Red-I like the Red above just fine. My Dad went to Yale Law School and I still think their blue is boring and tired-not strong and HD vibrant

HARVARD RED:

I don't give a [deleted] what someone picked for the shade of red and blue for our colors in 1920. THESE are our colors:

Why in the world do we care so much about the uniforms? I can't remember a time when I watched a game, then decided to change the channel because the uniforms suck. In fact, I can't remember a time I've ever cared to remember anything about the uniforms of a team.

So long as the uniforms aren't distracting to the actual game (e.g. anyone with neon colors), I simply don't care.

This Yale Blue is great but it is not what SMU is using...at least on the blue unis this season and on the field.
