I've never understood why so many orange identify with blue. We are one of the only schools in the country that has only one color. We are not orange and blue. We are orange. That color is our brand.
Professor Clark consulted Baird's manual, then the authority on college matters, to see what combinations of orange had already been taken. Orange and blue were the most popular, but orange alone apparently was not claimed by any school and was Syracuse's for the taking. It was adopted unanimously by the committee, the faculty, the Alumni Association, and finally the trustees."
