Hey Syracuse, what shade of Orange?

[Vfl2407]

Josh and Swain of Knoxville sports animal just had someone on the radio who is a beat writer covering Syracuse talk about the game.
He said many good things about the Vols team that Syracuse plays.
And he said that Syracuse is aware it will be a virtual home game for Tennessee with all of that “BURNT ORANGE” on in the stands.
Syracuse Coach almost mentioned us as wearing burnt orange.
Ummmm…Who is going to tell them about Pantone 151C.

I hope we come out fast, play four quarters, and wax that a$$.

I want Joey to be a stud this year and shut up the critics.

Pantone 151 C: The history of Tennessee Orange

It’s easy to say “Go Big Orange” and wear whichever shade of orange you may please to represent the Vols. But, when it comes down to it, Tennessee Orange is

Tennessee Orange is true orange. All others are corrupted.*






*Texas’ color is “dirt.” Honestly, mix the clays prevalent in their Austin area, and the source of their color choice becomes evident.

Thanks for this view. Ours obviously has least red in the mixture. I preferred the 60’s ORANGE with a little less red than our current official 151 but good with what we sport. Guess daisy’s had some variances too. Bet Adidas has been provided 151 chips for both design and quality control by DW.

You can't be American and not like orange. It's in our cultural DNA.

Before America was American, it was English. And England? Looooong and colorful history of monarchy. In 1688, James II was king. It took him all of a couple of years to royally tick off all the Protestants in the country. So they (essentially) sent a letter to James's nephew, one Willem Hendrik van Oranje (William of Orange), who was born in The Hague. And they said, hey, we really don't like your uncle. Why don't you come visit? PS, bring your army. Hugs and kisses, England. And just like that, William of Orange and his wife (Mary, also his first cousin) were king and queen of England. And the House of Orange-Nassau is why the Netherlands wear orange... even if their shade's a bit off.

This has been your daily dose of The Importance of Orangeness. Back to the workday

Just be glad they changed colors.

In June 1872, Syracuse adopted rose pink and pea green as the official colors of the University and its athletic teams. The colors were changed the next year to rose tint and azure, later becoming pink and blue.
