Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 814407, member: 652"] [url]http://studentactivities.syr.edu/traditions/index.html[/url] [SIZE=3][B]Official School Color[/B][/SIZE] Orange became the University’s official color in 1890 when Syracuse became the first college to adopt only one official color. The original school colors, rose pink and pea green, adopted in 1872 were not popular. Orange was chosen to represent the golden apples of Hesperia; the story of the sunrise and the hope for a golden future. Blue is used as an unofficial accent color. Blue IS NOT AN OFFICIAL COLOR. If Dr. Gross wanted to make Green the accent color tomorrow he could. I don't care that we wore Blue jerseys we were never the Syracuse Bluemen or Blue we have always been the Orangemen or Orange, and just because we wore blue jerseys because Coach Mahoney or Coach MacPherson wanted to wear blue jerseys instead of Orange doesn't excuse stupidity when we are the Orange.
