I would consult a doctor about this, not a message board.

RE: Declare Your Favorite Tiger Color
I don't remember winning a lot of games in the black jerseys. If we won in them, fine, but that's not my recollection.

The black uniforms to me will always be the Wagner team. 21 feet of C/F (Wise, Massive, Barron) and every okay was a 1-4 ISO for Wagner to chuck a contested shot.

With that association, I would burn the black uniforms.

But, I am down with what the players want. If they want black, black is fine. Just win.

Just think of grey as a faded black.

I want to see my school colors blue and gray. I don't want to have to wonder "which team are we again?":.

That's because most of the time we wore them we were probably underdogs in the game

I don't recall us ever wearing them against the best of the SWAC or the atlantic sun

RE: Declare Your Favorite Tiger Color
By way of our history, the tradition is still needed today.

"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."

I wear blue to every Tiger game, football and basketball and will for our next game and all games to follow. I actually wore white for the white out game and it just didn't feel right, so from here on, nothing but blue.

If they want to show how tough they are, they should wear pink.

I always figured white would be your favorite color

Grey is a hot color these days. Seems like every team but us wears grey. Wish we'd break it back out.

Good point Bluto 04-cheers

Dark gray is very noice.

I don't mind the darker shades of gray, but they are better suited for teams with brighter colors than our blue to complement them.
