Maroon is actually burnt red
quote:t-sip buddy of mine told me that the sips wore blue and white jerseys a long time ago - in a year when the team wasn't so good - and there was a problem with them, and the equip. guys had to run out into town and buy jerseys at a local sporting goods store last minute for the game. The only color they had enough of was burnt orange. Unexpectedly, the team won and played great, and nobody wanted to change it. Everybody loved it. Is it true? Dunno, but my sip friend tells me it is, and is very serious about it.quote:
Because burnt orange was taken.
Uhh Ags were around first.
quote:
Mix up some dirt and blood and that's what you get. We were all white but BTHO tu so bad the blood from their faces mixed with the dirt and stained the uniforms maroon. Had to keep it.

Because maroon really brings out the bevel on the T.
quote:
We were originally red and white. By mistake one time long ago, we were sent maroon in a shipment instead of red.
