I have been tested and am not color blind. Why are our road uniforms blue? We are not Yale, Butler, Drake, BYU or...Duke. Our previous coach was all about x's and o's and didn't seem like someone who would care to influence uniform design. Coach Collins seems totally detail oriented, x's and o's and everything else including uniform color. If the uniform color doesn't matter, why not opt for our school colors?

Because the team likes different colors. Because 16 year old recruits like different colors.
Because he's not selling to alumni.

Shakes, they are actually purple but show as blue at times. Could be the lighting or as someone posted a few years ago regarding this, that the color purple is made up of red and blue and on TV they look more blue because of the color wheel or something like that.
