The red on your "Bert Cup" is a nice red IMO.

We wouldn't even be having this discussion if Broyles was capable of running an adequate professional athletic department.

202c looks like a redder version than that Carolina color.

I have suspected for a long time that the uniforms and the color for licensed products was different. When I compared Pantone 200 to our uniforms, 200 looked like it had way too much yellow in it (making it kind of an orange red, but still a far cry from orange).

About 202c vs 202: it looks to me that 202c is more saturated than 202, which makes it a more vibrant, 'brighter' looking red. But 202c and 202 both have more blue than 200 does, so it's more of a violet red--but still far from violet.

My wife gave me a lot of input on this post, as she's a designer.

I will take your wife's word on this one.

tWomenz have an eye for this better than most men, unless you are an Aggy yell leader.

Actually I'm not sure, I just looked at a Pantone chart and it looks like 200 and 202 are just different tints, meaning they have different levels of white added to them. But frick if I know. My inner autist needs to STFU.

The darker red is what I think of as Cardinal.

I think your wife is right.

They aren't admitting WHY this just became understood. I'm saying BWA floor is waaaay off, and people noticed it this year.

They probably went back to the contractor and the contractor pointed at the official style guide.

Arkansas fans, self included, bitch about various marketing related issues constantly. This issue only confirms my long-held suspicions that the entire department was pretty incompetent and sorry.

Because of lack of attention to detail, we got a pink basketball court. frick em for missing stuff like that.

Never trust a Cedarville man with a job meant for a West Fork man.

The current red football jerseys are the "new" color.

I've thought this for a while too. Why is that? Do they skimp on salaries and end up with a weak staff?

Thoughts?

Hate it & this shite is getting ridiculous.

It's one thing to wear a bit more "flashy" of a uniform every once in a while, although I think the "recruiting" reason given for it is equally as ridiculous, but to keep fricking with the school's colors is going too far. Apparently, someone just won't be satisfied until we look identical to A&M or MS State.

Leave the damn color of red alone. It is supposed to be cardinal, NOT brick red, burgundy, or maroon. Just find the "pms" color, or whatever, of red closest to the accurate cardinal red, which is the University of Arkansas' official color of red, and stick the frick with it. Whomever doesn't like it is certainly welcome not to put on the damn uniform.

Cardinal Reds ...

The color of the current football uniform is what we will be keeping according to Waddell. They are moving everything uniform wise to this color across the board going forward.

If this is the case, that red is fine. I also like the baseball jerseys, but I hope after this, they just leave it the frick alone.
