I like it too.

It just looks better on teams with brighter primary colors.

I wish we had red in our colors--not the Miss'ippi red...I really dislike that red. More of a Chinese red for good luck.

The University of Memphis was founded under the auspices of the General Education Bill, enacted by the Tennessee Legislature in 1909. Known originally as West Tennessee State Normal School, the institution opened its doors Sept. 10, 1912, with Dr. Seymour A. Mynders as president.

Students selected blue and gray as the school colors and the tiger as the mascot. Tradition holds that the colors, those of the opposing armies during the Civil War, were chosen in commemoration of the reuniting of the country after that divisive conflict
.
Over the next decade, The Desoto yearbook was created, the first library was opened in the Administration Building, the first dining hall was built and the first men's dorm was built; today that dorm, Scates Hall, houses the College of Arts and Sciences' Dean's offices.

Based upon the crowd Sunday, blue is the overwhelming winner for fan-wear. I don't think I saw any gray other than on the court.
