Please note that there are only two correct versions of our name, the acronym “UAB,” or the full “University of Alabama at Birmingham.” In addition, the Associated Press sports style- book now uses UAB on frst reference, not Alabama-Birmingham.
We are not: Alabama-Birmingham, Ala.-Birmingham, or U.A.B.

Just saying

Well from what I can tell, some guys were not allowed to practice during camp. It sounds like they were added back when school started. Kinda like the opposite of NFL training camp cuts.

The official school colors are green and white...the official athletic colors are Forest Green and Old Gold. There is a story behind the division if anyone is interested.

Nah no story needed. That explains why white is such an afterthought now. SPORTS!!!

When I graduated with my MA in 1972, there were no "school colors" nor "Blazer" mascot. When they came along, I thought green and gold were chosen as the only pretty colors NOT red and white nor blue and orange. Colors and mascot name were chosen by student election at the time of the choices (It was the same method UC Irvine used to get "Anteater").
