We're discussing basketball, not what you order at the bar.

I don't see referees being asked to confirm school colors to make sure that we are correctly identifying each team.

I'm not giving the ball to "caribean green"

Because of my color-blindness I will often confirm with my partner(s) what colors we are calling the teams. Never once in my 12 seasons of officiating has a single person ever called a team by a 2-syllable color.

The only change I've made in 26 years is that I do not call "orange" red anymore.

If I'm the R, pink is white if their opponent is red. If opponent something other than red, then pink is red.

Purple is blue. Schools choosing purple for a color must suffer. They brought it on themselves.

Orange is red. Esp those nuts that wear the Texas burnt orange. Fugly.

Yellow is always Gold.

What does being the R have to do with anything?

Pink is pink. It's one syllable. We had one of these this year, it was perfectly easy to say pink.

Pink is not on my color palette.

Red/Green/Blue/White/Black/Gold.

I don't do Brown either.

Everything, man. Everything! What I say goes. It's a dictatorship out there. I'm the boss. Head honcho. My way or the highway.

Interesting. In 15 years, I've never seen pink uni's in HS or wreck ball.

Same except we say Buttercup instead of Gold for Yellow!

What (color) was Notre Dame called (clean thoughts here) when wearing those jerseys the other night?

[Adam]

Honestly, I wouldn't care what the prevailing local philosophy was on this is, I'd follow it. It's not something worth standing out.

We got a high school with that color here in my little corner of Connecticut. As ugly as the back of a bus.
