I still don't understand the reluctance to call a team by their color, especially if their team identity is based on the specific color. There is a HS team nearby that is the Purple Raiders; I know their uniforms aren't blue, so why do we use that color? UTenn is also known as Big Orange, so why would we call them red?

I like Bob's suggestion of using the colors from that original 10 or 12-box of Crayons. We can still have basic colors without arbitrarily limiting them to single-syllables.
