The JV guys were calling the maroon team "maroon" last night. Cute. They were red in the varsity game.

Orange for me. I did have to use purple one time when I subbed with a guy who refuses to call a purple team blue. He graduated from a school that had purple as a school color and refuses to call any purple team blue. It wasn't all that big of a deal.
