@MCormack This applies to licensed products only as you see here. Athletics does not use 200. #Consistency pic.twitter.com/7zLtZcIvQP
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.

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.
