That's the sorriest excuse for gold I've ever seen, it's more like beige/tan. At least the numerals are legible...The '06 throwback gold jersey much better.
give me buzz gold. for uniforms, paint on the field, everything. dump the lame beige.
You're probably going to get bigcried to death, and I've trained myself to accept the Purdue/UCF-type pale gold we now have because if whining for 13 years isn't going to get someone's attention at the GTAA then I don't know what it'll take. But I am on board with you. I don't know if the one you posted is exactly the right shade (it's really difficult to get the gold on your screen to match the shirt in your closet, the Wreck, the helmet
and the jersey) but the "mustard gold" or whatever from the '06 throwbacks is the only shade I've seen where I thought we could make it into The Gold and have it be a nationally recognizable look. Of course the color/uniform alone doesn't do it, you have to win and give people a reason to watch you play, but that's the goal anyway and this gold seems like such a no-brainer. It's not so gaudy that it looks gimmicky, it pops really, really well with the white and navy, and no team anyone cares about is using that kind of gold as their primary color. The gold on the 2008 uniforms wasn't perfect, in photos from one or two overcast games it looked like it had a bit of a green tint to it, but I never noticed the same thing in person or on TV. I'd kill to see this shade used with adidas' designs. Mustard hats, blue shirts, mustard pants, and I might just explode.
