illwauk Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Its come to my attention that the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has a different set of colors for academic purposes than they do for athletics.Anyone know of any other schools that do this?

TruColor Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I can provide a list for what I've compiled so far (3000+ colleges and universities)...It's more rare that the two utilize the same color palettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymie Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Arizona State University has different PMS colors for its maroon. Academics uses PMS 208, but PMS 216 is used by athletics and is recommended for outdoor signage. 208 tends to run pink and is a brighter shade than 216.

hawk36 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Not college, but I've always thought it was odd that Italy (green, white, and red) have royal blue for their sports uniforms. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mingjai Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Not college, but I've always thought it was odd that Italy (green, white, and red) have royal blue for their sports uniforms.Just like the Dutch wearing orange, azure blue has its origins as a color of a historical ruling house.

PhlyBoy Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 UW-Madison (or just Wisconsin) uses a darker shade of red for Academics I do believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshawaggie Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 North Dakota uses pink as a school color, along with green and white, to simulate the colors of the state flower, the prarie rose. Athletics use green, black and white. I know the academic logo also has a flame, so I guess you can add orange to that too. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
