AAO Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Why is T.O. such an egotistical bastard? answer me that. His ego probably cost us the game tonight. Is it really 'cant play with him, can't play without him'? Behance Network || ianbakar.com || Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProvidenceRI Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I already gave the reason straight from the Traditions page on the Notre Dame website. Yellow symbolized the light and blue symbolized the truth That's horsecrap though. You can pick any color, and it symbolizes something.You are telling me that they said "We really want to have school colors that symbolize 'light' and 'truth.'""Oh, look. That happens to be yellow and blue."I think they chose yellow and blue, then happened to notice that they sometimes symbolize "light" and "truth". Blue also symbolizes moderation, fidelity, sincerity, godliness and heaven according to some searches.If pink and purple represented light and truth, I doubt they would have chosen those as colors. They obiously wanted blue and gold in the beginning. There must have been some person at ND who loved those colors, and decided to go with them.They are a Christian school, so I'm sure they weren't choosing the Devil's red for a rugby jersey.

See Red Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 It was yellow, at first, for one. When you think of light... what color do you think of? Yellow. Blue has always symbolized truth, way back to the egyptians (at the very least). Why's it so difficult to believe a religious school would choose their colors based on that?

Discrim Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 it's been mentioned: yellow (later gold) for the light, and blue for the truth. ND is a Catholic school, so that shouldn't be too surprising. Oral Roberts University, founded by the old evangelist of the same name, chose similar colors for similar reasonsthe Fighting Irish moniker came later, though there's been much dispute as to when and how it originated.

stephen93 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 i heard a story about how nd got thier colors, i dont know how truthful it is, but ill tell it anyway because it is a good story.Ok so in the early 1900s notre dame wore a green and gold combo, but in the 1910s the football team was about to be dropped from the school athletics because it just cost too much, so navy was nice enough to forgo thier football season that year and donated thier jerseys just until they got back on thier feet. And as a thanks for that notre dame has played navy every year since, and kicked thier ass every year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 been an ND fan all my life and never heard that one. (I don't follow any religion, oddly enough. only reason I don't call myself an atheist is the fact that I believe there is at least one God.)
