Whatever it is, I hope it will be available in the adidas 3 stripe golf pants.

What's confusing are the colors are Old Gold and White, but our mascot is a Yellow Jacket.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but did we get the nickname Yellow Jacket because of the color of the jackets we wore and later morphed it to mean the insect?

 

[00Burdell]

Its been real, guys. I'm out.

Ok, on second thought...

Nope. I'm gone.

Ok, wait...

Oh öööö this is what I've been waiting for my entire life

That's exactly right. The Yellow Jackets were originally chosen as a color to show support for Auburn at an Auburn u(sic)GA baseball game in the 1890's. In part because it would piss off the pup's coach who cut gold from that school's colors since it was a cowardly color. By the late 1940's the Yellow Jackets was in use along with Golden Tornado and you start to see depictions of Buzz. I think it was 1971 wgen Buzz came onto the scene as a live mascot and the rest is history .

I'm thinking this really may be it. I used wayback machine and until recently, that color was never there. Was added within the past 2 weeks.

So is it Tech Gold or Buzz Gold?!?!?! Now I'm even more confused and still having a "gold" identity crisis...

@BeeStorm any plans to change the StinGTalk gold to the Adidas Tech Gold when it's revealed?

A CGA monitor only can display 4 colors from a palette of 16
