Only one person is qualified to answer that question!
It's blue, it's gray, it's GA-Man !!!

Yes - the tiger should always be "vegas gold" (PMS 465). See the link at the bottom of my signature.

That's like sending out the bat signal.

faster actually.

G.A. is the Man for Tiger colors.

It would be better if our athletic department minded the importance of tradition and brand strength.

Tigers are ******* Orange, not vegas gold

he's overlooked a LOT! Or rather, willfully chooses to exclude in his discussions. But it's been rehashed so many times it's not worth it anymore.

What he also doesn't tell you is that those brand standards are for The University of Memphis school logo, not athletic logo and have nothing to do with the Leaping Tiger logo, etc.

None of the athletic logos are mentioned in the brand standards. They are for the University logo only.



And right now, much of that section of the site is unavailable or coming soon: http://www.memphis.edu/logo/brand/index.php

yup. the brand standard was always for the physical brand (like branding a cow) and not the marketing "brand" (apparel, pics, ads, jerseys, etc...).

Interesting about the site being under construction.

GA has an agenda that is beyond logical arguments. He is emotionally attached to civil war colors. His laziness on "vegas gold" (PMS 465) is understandable. He really doesn't care that much about that color.

He really only sees the need to be an "Avenger" for Confederate "Gray". The importance of Confederate Gray is an emotional need to keep the memory of his Southern heritage alive. His projection of this felt need onto his favorite school is thus understood. The problem is that any remembrance of the Civil War is now politically incorrect, especially for a State University (see Ole Miss "Rebels"). GA will tell you that the original use of Blue and Gray was an attempt at signifying healing between the North and the South. The "Gray Avenger" is emotionally attached to this story and no logical argument will sway him.

BTW, If true about black now being an official color for the University, then GA - if he is a man of his word - will be considering if he will continue being a fan/supporter of the University of Memphis.

what will really throw GA for a loop is that PMS 280 is not "officially" Tiger Blue; it's just always been used as such because it's easy for printers to match.

During all the re-branding discussions, PMS 287 has been discussed as the official "Tiger Blue" that both the university & athletics would adopt. No clue if that's official yet, however.

Can someone explain the difference between Reflex Blue and Calipari Blue?

well, one is a real color shade from the industry, and one came out of GA's butt.

Apparently, you just made that up. Vegas gold isn't even close to the color the university uses.

That's why they call Pouncer the Feline Liberace.

It says black is an official color in addition to blue and gray. Is this new, or something you overlooked in the past?

Quote:UofM colors are PMS 280, PMS 423, black, or reversed out of a dark color.

Black isn't new, but was only included to allow trim and text for printed material. None of the examples show black replacing blue or gray to a significant degree.
