What are/were your school colors?
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 11:50 PM by GreenPartyVoter
Blue and white in high school; maroon, gold, and white in college.

Reason I bring this up is because my team and I are all annoyed with our school colors. *g*



Although, you have to admit the poms are cool:

22. We were blue and orange, also -- our uniforms were cool!
Our school teams were (I am not making this up) -- "The Stoners".
I grew up in an area where they used to mine Sandstone. I guess the men who mined it were called "stoners" so, we were "the stoners."

36. Yep, me too.
I wouldn't have minded, but they made our graduation robes BURNT ORANGE!! (Madison HS in San Antonio)

Pick the color I look worse in than any other, and that looks like a polyester uniform for working at Luby's and let me graduate in it! Thanks loads!

Thankfully, college was green and white (UNT in Denton). Robes were black.

7. Maroon and White
Morristown High School, Morristown, NJ

The main basketball cheer:

"Maroon and white -
You look so good tonight
Hey! Hey!

Maroon and white -
You look so good tonight
Hey! Hey!"

(Repeated until the crowd got tired of cheering...)

15. Didn't have colours
We had a tartan. Our school's teams were called the "Pipers" so it was a green based tartan. But I guess the colours were green and gold.

25. Hey! Those are my university's colors.
But in high school, we were red, white, and blue. Jr. High Black and funky, florescent orange.

Metallic poms are always cool, and I especially like the 4 inch-but that's me.

32. Ours didn't come in 4 in, just 6 I think. But considering they were only
$8.50 a pom, that was the number that impressed me most. *g*

26. Red, white and black at school
At least they were the colours of the school badge and tie; I've no idea what colour the sports teams wore.

University colours? goodness only knows. The university scarf is dark-blue, light-blue, and white. It's also long, thick, and properly itchy; and still in use a whilte after graduation.
