I don't know why we were told that, but I don't see the problem in calling a team by their actual color anyway. Heck, the other team is "white", so it's not like the scorekeeper is going to get them confused.

Exactly. I'm just surprised someone actually takes this so far they actually say "maroon". I'm wondering if they also use "teal" or "aqua."
