Gold is a school color.

*Vegas Gold

Olde Gold, or "Vegas" Gold as it is now called, was the color used in uniforms dating back to Buck Read's earliest days as basketball coach.

Merle Schlosser introduced "yellow" gold jerseys to football for a season in 1959 and Doo similarly-colored pants in 1965, which caught on in several sports until 1990s and change back to Olde or Vegas Gold and the introduction of black.

In particular Eldon Miller's basketball teams, including the great 1975-76 one, had a set of yellow gold road unis that they also occasionally wore at home.
