tommytimp Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I got this year's Athlon College guide, and the picture for Tulsa is of WR Damaris Johnson in a pink uniform. (P. 96 if you have the magazine.) Closer inspection reveals it to be a photo taken in a game against SMU and the blue has been photoshopped pink. Fair enough. (The blue on the SMU helmets is also pinked out.) But the color bordering for Tulsa's entry in the magazine is also pink.Anyone know what the boys at Athlon are huffing these days? Quality control? Anybody? Is it a breast cancer tribute I'm not aware of?This is the original picture:and a poor scan of the Tulsa page.What's this all about?

mania Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Looks like it was an issue with the blue ink, and not an intentional photoshop. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 I would be inclined to agree-just odd that it got by the editors. "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that it's hard to verify their authenticity."--Abraham Lincoln Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Looks like it was an issue with the blue ink, and not an intentional photoshop.Indeed. With the CMYK printing process, it looks like either someone at the press forgot about the cyan plate, or they ran out of cyan ink.I would be inclined to agree-just odd that it got by the editors. It was probably fine the last time the editors saw it, to be fair. Once they send it to the press, it's totally in their hands. Trust me; I work at a newspaper, and every week, I do what I can and then sweat it out wondering if the press is going to do a good job printing it. And in this case, it would probably cost a boatload of money and time to reprint the whole thing, so they just rolled with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy510 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 You'll notice that the blue stripes on the SMU helmets in the background of that picture are also pink. It's clearly a printing error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
