Nike CAN Make Our Offical Shade of Blue!!
I saw a fellow at the Spring Game last night wearing an LA Dodgers sweatshirt that was a beautiful shade of DARK royal blue which, if it wasn't PMS280, it was certainly close enough. I nearly swallowed my chaw, when he turned and I saw the prominent white Nike swoosh on the chest. Someone has definitely been lying. Why on earth won't somebody in the athletic department ask Nike to correct the shade of blue for Memphis?? Pride promotes attention to details.......attention to details promotes pride.

I can't believe that you didn't berate him for not wearing Tiger gear.

It is just another smack in the face... very disrespectful in my opinion. It is a major reason I don't buy Nike!

I wonder if dark royal blue would be more in my color palette.

Do you realize at this point it would be a major rebranding to go back to the original color. Talk to the people that can make the changes if it means that much to you. Haven't seen too many problems with the program get fixed from this board...

I have never demanded perfection. With sincere effort, however (the kind inspired by pride and an understanding of the resulting tangible benefits) we can and should do much better.

We wear "Calipari/Winn/Nike Blue". We SHOULD wear MEMPHIS blue (PMS 280) or at least a DARK royal blue. The Nike Dodger shirt that I saw looks better and is much closer to the mark.

I've proved you wrong multiple times on the Calipari fallacy. Please stop. Blame him for what you want, but our school colors issue had been around decades before Cal came to Memphis.

It's either PMS 280 or it's not, there is no in-between, there is no compromise. The only proper outcome is perfection.

First the correct blue, then the correct grey.
