OT, sorta: Old gold vs Vegas gold

[punaj]

My wife is an Arizona grad, so she doesn't know school colors here in the midwest. I'm looking for a good comparison of old gold and vegas gold because she want to make me a blanket. Below is a site I found, but not sure it's the best. What do you all think? Are there better comparisons out there?

Thanks!!!

In my humble non colorblind opinion...that is about spot on. Obviously there will be some contrast between a computer/phone screen and the actual fabric, but that is pretty damn close.

This may not help but illustrates how brutal Vegas Gold is compared to one of our actual school colors.

for a blanket that you're going to keep for a while you may want to consider the brighter vegas color. It will fade over time.

No doubt, and here's more validation:

I sincerely hope Mike Bobinski has the good sense to hire a professional, bona fide firm to give Purdue Athletics a sorely needed image makeover. And while he is at it, he ought to enroll our entire athletic department into the Disney Institute... and it ought to be MANDATORY for our BoT to attend as well!

I just want our colors to be standardized for all sports and to use the damn color we sing about in our own school song. I don't want an excuse of 'Nike makes us use it' like Burke gave us. If that's the case, I wonder how Army got their old gold to work.

It can be done and done very well as shown with these pictures....

You honestly can't tell me there isn't a highly skilled individual in our country some where that could take those awesome retro uniforms like Leroy has on and update them.

Love the Army gold color

For a small "fee" of course....

She appears to have both Old Gold and Vegas Gold and wears them well.

I just liked every response in this thread, for good reason. Thanks all!

they looked great in 2006

Old Gold is the only Gold. So good!

Agreed. I still don't know why we didn't just keep those jerseys.

Is it resistance to change if the change is to a throwback?

 

[Courthouse Carp]

Old Gold is the only Gold. So good!

Yeah, and believe it or not, Vegas gold uniforms look even more faded/washed-out at indoor venues:

There's only one place Vegas gold belongs on campus, imho:

Yes!

What I don't understand is why we have Vegas gold when clearly most alumni prefer Old Gold. I think this is a Morgan Burke remnant that needs to be fixed. Maybe MBob will listen on this issue
