hormone Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I'm glad they chose the royal blue. That's the color I always associate with Kansas...especially since they are known for their b'ball program. It always bothers me when a school can't unify their colors.

sacker12 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Kansas having navy just didn't look right. Royal blue just seems more like Kansas to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez Street Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Good finally the football team will look like they are from the same school as the basketball team. @DavidStreeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezreiter3 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 When KU was founded part of the founders wanted the colors to be Harvard Crimson and the other half wanted Yale Blue, so they compromised, Crimson and Blue. Yale blue is more navy, this shade of blue is garbage (and I am a student so I can say that). Its too bad the university couldn't spend the money on something useful like more computers or GTA salaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxSteeler Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 "We want to bring back that ?big blue' concept," he said. "KU is considered worldwide as one of the blue franchises, like the Dodgers, Cubs and IBM. I believe my school should be on that list way before Kansas should. Kansas wears red out on the court, thats something a big blue franchise does. And their crisis with navy is laughable. Kentucky is in the big blue club.

blueclad Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 This is great news! Kansas is literally reversing the trend.Yeah, nationwide it seems that darker colors sell better, but there's still plenty of royal blue on the campus in Lawrence. Poor Mangino. His dream is ruined. Now if only they'd use that cool basketball number font on the football uniforms.The two best things about this move are that the student section at the football games will stand out more, because of the brighter color, and the fans and team will match the new royal blue trim at Memorial Stadium.I couldn't be happier.

KCScout76 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Kansas football went to Navy to earn their own identification, something they couldn't get while the Basketball team was being successful . They got away from the Royal Blue during Mason's tenure in the 90s. They took the bird off and added the "Kansas" text and "KU" over the past 10+ years.It was always royal blue when I was a kid going to the KU Basketball games with my grandfather (he was the team doctor for the football team for a number of years - he was also friends with Gale Sayers and John Riggins; I read several letters to my grandfather from these "some-what" talented football greats "Anyway - I am glad they set that straight - I like the Royal blue better.Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!  Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021     St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL)  2023 Champions   Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockchalk Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Finally! I'm so glad that they're doing this. The football team just didn't look right with practically every other sport on campus using Royal. Thanks Lew!
