blue that is on the state flag of South Carolina. What is the official name of that blue?
That would be the best combination and the administration could do it without making a big announcement for fans of other schools to harp on. Just change it, change the orders for Clemson items. They did the change ot Regalia without a mention.
The best combination is burnt orange and state flag blue.

is the true burnt orange. UT's is a faded, light orange and they don't even claim the name burnt orange. Texas, while listed as burnt orange is the color of dog vomit.

Because it doesn't seem the school or the manufacturers of
Nov 22, 2013, 10:26 AM

gear can seem to decide what shade of prple it is. The purple the basketball team wears is different from the football team which is different from the rally cats, which is different from the band etc. etc. THe football team shirt purple doesn't even match the helmet purple etc. etc.
The school has even changed the name of the purple and it seems it is looking worse and worse. The inconsistency and the unattractiveness of the purple being used lately is alarming and needs to be changed.
There's a lot of things I can put up with, but when something (not a person) has an unattractive appearance, I have a hard time with that.

university has changed it to Regalia, which is a slightly different shade of purple that does not look nearly as good. ANd it seems the manufacturers of our gear, both for fans and teams are too inconsistent with the purple shades. Time to change to a more definitive color.

can get the shade of purple right, or even decide on the shade they want. It looks everything from pretty good to god awful. Sometimes the purple a given team is wearing is different from one part of the uniform to the other. Someties just sad (see rally cats and flag line).

To set the record straight: Clemson's colors are burnt orange and Northwestern purple, and has been since 1889. TN color is NOT orange, it is cantaloupe. Those hillbillies don't know a fruit from a melon, just ask a Hort major.

Clemson is with the Hill, Esso Club, Howard's Rock, DV, etc. it becomes comical to me to hear this stuff about Clemson's colors. The only orange and purple school in the nation and we want to change that but we talk about the uniqueness of Clemson.....last time i checked one of the most unique things about Clemson is the colors that no other school wears other than Clemson. Why it's not celebrated by all Clemson folks boggles my mind.

Nov 22, 2013, 10:36 AM

by my mom's brother (my Uncle) who played at Clemson from '52 to '55 and he's been pissed off forever about the lack of purple trim on the football team's unis since the early '70's and how folks think we're actually orange and white, etc...i could go on and on. He wore purple pants and orange jerseys with purple numbers for Coach Howard and when he hears "ugly", "soft", "feminine", "Barney", etc. it infuriates him. He's a crusty old guy but the "orange/white" cheer used to torque him off big time years ago. It seems that to the 1950's and older crowd Orange and Purple was to them what just Orange is to the younger crowd and it irritates the hell out of him. Guess my Unc brainwashed me too, LOL.

"match" of the colors etc.....i think that Clemson should shove it down everyone's throats because it IS Clemson colors and only Clemson colors and the orange and purple in DV and on our uniforms should blind people because it's the Clemson Tigers. It's about pride and not looking like about 20 other orange and blue wearing schools in the country.

I don't celebrate the purple/regalia because I think black makes more sense. (and makes things much easier for a lot of reasons)
1. Tigers have black stripes. (not regalia/indigo)
2. Clemson Football plays in Memorial stadium
3. Clemson's football field is called Death Valley
4. Clemson runs down a hill. (which is a stripe that could be better utilized
to sell their brand if the rug was black IMO)
I think the marketing department should replace the regalia with black and market the stripe, (more than the paw) as the stripe is the one thing that ties the Universities tradition, military history, mascot together. (much more than the paw does IMO)
