How many fricking shades of orange can there be?
Did you know other teams wear blue too?

3 shades of orange compared to 7 shades of pink.
Jus' sayin'.
Anyway, shush, I'm trying to learn the official colors of aTm, MSU, etc.
You aren't helping one bit.

Razorbacks is a good one.
And the "red" thing is common, but for Arkansas, we were the only "Red & White" team in our old league for most of its existence.
Texas Tech (red & black) and Houston (red & blue or white) came long in the 1950s and 1970s.

Cardinal is a vivid red, which gets its name from the cassocks worn by Catholic cardinals (although the color worn by cardinals is actually scarlet). The family of birds takes its name from the color.

I've always associated Maroon as more a shade of purple than red.

Good point, however one could posit that since Arkansas's original mascot (prior to the 1909 LSU game) was "The Cardinals", that our red should be more like the red of the actual bird...

I'm still waiting on roadGator's apology. I will take it in writing or dude can skype me and tell me sorry face to face.

This doesn't make sense to me, the color gets it's name from the color cardinal's wear, but that's not the color they wear????

The official colors of the University of Arkansas are cardinal and white. Because of the requirements for printing and the need to be as specific as possible when matching colors, the Pantone® Matching System (PMS) number for cardinal red is 200.
The only two-color combination allowed for the University of Arkansas logo is black and PMS 200. When producing four-color publications, the CMYK values shown below produce an acceptable match for PMS 200.
Cyan = 0%
Magenta = 100%
Yellow = 63%
Black = 12%
The RGB values are:
Red = 190
Green = 15
Blue = 52
The hexadecimal (Web) value is:
#BE0F34
Consider yourself learned.

I am truly sorry that you are so mad and that you think your school's color was picked for priest cloths.
It must be tough to be so genius. The demand for your brilliance must mean hella appearance fees.

It was just an interesting bit of trivia, maybe next time if you're not sure about something you can just keep your comments to yourself, and save yourself the embarrassment as well.
Now if one of your teachers asks where the origin of cardinal came from, you'll know the correct answer instead of looking like an idiot in front of the whole class.

You obviously have no concept of what primary colors are then.

Just to be clear, Arky is Cardinal because of Pope cloths. Right?

Bless your heart. Well I can't fault you for trying, because you try so damned hard.
Posted on 3/1/12 at 10:52 am to roadGator
Yeah, we have the best colors in the league. No big deal. And if you don't agree, you hate America.

OK, Pope cloths it is.
I should have never posted a picture of the bird that used to be your mascot. It's starting to make sense to me. Give me some time to absorb it. Please forgive me. I should have never assumed you were Cardinal red because you used to use a Cardinal bird for a mascot.
Wait, were you actually the Arkansas Pope Cloths at one point? I could have sworn it was for the bird. I'm so confused.
ETA: Double wait, did you think I GAF about why cardinal red was called such? Your trivia sucks and is as useless as you are FWIW.

Yep, color named after the College of Cardinals.
Another useless fact, cardinal was derived from a word that meant hinge. This accounts for sayings like cardinal virtues or cardinal sins, b/c they arise from other things. It was in a book I read a long frigging time ago, so it may be bullshite.
