I'm really not as mad as the headline might suggest.
But really.. come on.
I remember Alden talking about the re-branding for all of MU athletics last year when all teams got new uniforms. Something he emphasized was getting a universal shade of gold for the entire athletic department.
I'm failing to see anything universal about our gold.
Tonight we got guys with bright yellow shoes, dark gold shoes, the basketball uni's are a dark mustard gold, while football uses a brighter yellow. There is no uniformity on apparel.
Is it too much to ask to just have one damn shade of gold that is used across the board?
Yeah, yeah. Sweating the small stuff.

Gold is just such an ugly color by itself though. If they're going to do the solid "gold" uniforms I'd prefer they were more yellow then gold. The football uniforms are also more yellow then gold. Now that I think about it, I don't recall seeing "gold" on any uniform recently.

I'm not sure what you're saying.
Are these basketball uni's tonight not a dark gold?
While the football team uses a brighter yellow?
We've got guys on the court tonight with different shades of yellow/gold. One guy has bright yellow, another mustard gold.
I just want uniformity.
I tapped my computer screen 5 times before I pressed submit. OCD.

Are the football and basketball jerseys actually different colors?
When it comes to shoes, NCAA teams give players a lot of freedom in choosing the shoes they want. Basketball players like their shoes or something like that.

I thought you were just talking in general about the uniform colors. Players generally choose their shoes.

I agree. We change our basketball uniforms and colors so much that I don't even know what they are supposed to look like anymore.

Yeah, from what I can see. Basketball is a dark or true gold, while football is more of a yellow.
Even with clothing apparel there are inconsistencies. You'll see Pinkel with something that has gold trim one day, and yellow the next.
I realize this is a gay topic.. but I don't think it's too much to ask for the university to have a universal color scheme.

Oh, trust me.. I heard your voice (or I mean read your comments) in my head as I was writing this.
You love to give guys trouble for commenting on this stuff.
I just think it's really bizarre we can't get something universal for the whole athletic dept.

And I can't resist the tease.
My husband takes 3 x longer than me to groom. So I know men care more than they let on.

I'm not one of those.. beard and long hair, don't care.
But I want my yellows to match on my sports team.

The bigger question is, is "Rodeonaut" Sleeping Tiger re-birthed? I'm thinking Yes.

You, sir, are a fricking genius.

The gay guys I know are talking bout how much more involved the frontcourt played and the only thing hey have to say about the color discussion is that they are PO'd they have to wade through this BS to find real sports info. Oh and they'd also be asking if there was any way to delete an entire thread of uselessness

Hey buddy, you will discuss the differentiating shades of yellow/gold that the university uses, and you will damn well like it.
If you don't like it, go over to TB and talk about Rock M's, Block M's, and gold pants.
These are all important topics in Mizzou athletics. Thus, the biggest game in Missouri's short history in the SEC is irrelevant and such.

Doubt it. The only old thing he holds onto or wears in public are his game day sweater vests.
