UTSA and UTEP fans...seriously....
Technically speaking, are your Orange and Blue the same colors? Does one of you have a slightly darker/lighter shade?

Our blue is darker and we have white as a color. I am not quite sure if the orange is different as well. :)

RE: UTSA and UTEP fans...seriously....
oh snap, here we go again. UTEP used to be orange and white when they were Texas Western, UTSA started as white, blue and light red. The Texas BOR made UTSA change the light red to a shade of orange in 1971 because they wanted the UT system schools to have a shade of either white or orange. We already had the navy blue. UTEP incorporated blue in 1981 and later made into a darker blue in 1999.

UTEP fans, am I correct?

9 universities and 6 health/science centers (which I guess are technically universities).

By UT System rules, every university in the UT System has to have orange and white in their school colors. The shade of orange can be different from one school to the other, but all schools need to have these two colors. If a school in the system wants to add another color (like the navy blue at UTSA for example) then they can (with approval of the UT Board of Regents I believe).

In a way, this is due to the flagship university of the UT System, but oh well. There's not really much we can do about it as a school in the UT system (with having orange and white as school colors by default) but I'm not complaining.
