Good grief, the color of this board is blinding. :bang:

Isn't it?

Hey, it's even purtier now that you've brought in a touch of Pirate purple. :D

funniest thing i've seen here all week. and you right my eyes go bloodshot upon this board hitting the screen. LOL :crying:

I get the feeling that you think the red is a bit harsh. I would have to agree it is kind of bright. I will send a PM to georgia_tech_swagger and see if he can modify it.

Calling it "a bit harsh" would qualify as the understatement of the year. This is more along the lines of assistance dog needed red! :ecu:

I'm not sure which is worse...the colors on this board or the colors on Cincy's board.

I like the look of our board better. It's gaudy as hell, but at least there aren't any Cincinnati fans to ugly it up. :D

Which board is that, Lauramac? I can't keep up with all your teams/boards! :ecu:

:rolleyes:

This one, silly. The Rice one isn't gaudy, it's generic. :laugh:

That Cincy board was the exact opposite of this board. I have a suggestion that I am going to run by georgia_tech_swagger. I suggested changing the color of red, but I do not think that is the answer.

I don't think changing the shade of red is the answer either, uhmump. Maybe if we had mostly white (or maybe very light gray to reduce glare, but it's not a school color so I said white) with red as an accent color?

Wow great minds do think alike. That is what I was going to suggest. A white background, with red titles and blue accents. Since we do have blue accents on our uniforms. Definitely want to get rid of the black that is on the board here.

Sounds good to me.

we just need to trade the black for BLUE :-)

All right you color experts (lauramac - women are better at this then men), what would be the official name of the color blue that Houston uses. Is it a royal blue? It is not dark enough to be navy.

I don't know... don't have my box of 64 Crayolas on me. :laugh:

It's not navy, but I think royal blue is brighter than what we want.

Bump!

Here you go UHmump...this thread that I started now has 18 replies. That is really helping your #'s !

Yeah you come over here once a quarter and type "Ahhh my retinas" or "This red is blinding". Man I am on you board everyday and once a quarter I try to say something constructive. :D
