Why Does the AU Marching Band Have a Different Color Orange Than Everyone Else?

I've never noticed this

Edit: is your wife color blind?

Just checking

Because a coat that uses the darker, actual Auburn burnt orange would look like poop.

I am saying they(band) are currently using the darker color as opposed to everyone else. So is the darker color the true Auburn orange?

I'm not sure... I know the pre-2007 uniforms used a darker orange in the accents and it looked awful.

The official Auburn orange is supposed to be fairly dark compared to a Florida or Tennessee orange.... Not quite Tejas burnt orange, but awful close.

The thing I hated about Tubs All Orange games, is that you'd have 30 different shades of orange in the stands.

My (admittedly limited) understanding is that different materials absorb the dyes differently. In essence you could dye a cotton shirt and a wool sweater with the same orange dye and they would look different afterwards because the material takes the dye differently.

This may be the same thign with the band unis, in that the dye used to make them was the same, but the material handled it differently than the auxillery uniforms.

It could also be different manufacturers and they may have different dye shades. With Pantone you are supposed to be able to get a consistent color spectrum across multiple applications, but that doesn't always work.

The bigger question is why do we play the Darth Vader Imperial March after our opponent takes 1st and 10 to a 2nd and 4?

A 6 yd gain on 1st down and we play it? WTF band? Do you even watch the game or do you just play whatever's next?

Imperial death March on third and long when they for sure will convert on a defensive break down

To me, the band orange, cheerleader orange, and football jersey stripe orange looks the same.

The shirt orange, Gus orange, and practice jersey orange looks brighter.

The burnt orange is correct, not the bright orange.

Tubbs got his oranges mixed up after getting curb stomped by WVU.

We haven't changed our uniforms, I know the football team hasn't, and I doubt the cheerleaders have either
