Jesus christ.

Changing (or camouflaging) school traditions for fear of "offending" someone (who would never think of being offended unless told to be by pot-stirrers) is very PC.

Yes it is but some have found it offensive which is why we went charcoal gray and black.

In that case, just add a yellow stripe

The peace that was supposed to be represented by the united Union blue and Confederate gray in itself isn't offensive. This isn't "honoring" Confederate history.

Anyway, the U of M has enough shameful history itself that should be remembered as part of its history and not hidden because of embarrassment.
