How can the University of Michigan continue to call itself the "Maize and Blue" when the very company making their apparel calls Michigan's yellow hue "Sun"?

Sun and Blue? Sounds like a couple of Cher and Greg Allman's kids. Or maybe Frank Zappa's--you can't have a moon without a sun.

I feel that the yellow is more like a shade of 'Piss'

Great read. Exactly the type of investigative reporting that we need more of during the sports lull this summer.

Most of our Blue visitors have a good sense of humor an a thick skin to boot, so the responses should be good.
Besides, it's not like they stole their helmet design from some ivy leaguer :)

Fritz Crisler came up with the three stripe winged helmet at Princeton. When he got hired to coach Michigan, he brought the design with him. So it was not stolen.

Go easy brother. The thread is lighthearted, and as such, so was my remark.

Tradition? Because the color changed 5 years ago, and they've been the maize and blue far longer then that?

So I guess that somehow qualifies Michig@n as the Princeton of the Midwest?
Which is fine because Ohio State's KING OF THE FUCKING MOUNTAIN!
