Gator colors: Light red and blue!


Bless her soul. My friend L., knowing my passion for Orange, e-mailed me this shot of a pickup truck recently from Colorado.

It reminded me of that old, semi-biblical saying: "For what shall it profit a team if it gains the national championship yet doesn't know true Orange?"

L. is from Ohio, so she's excused for not really knowing or caring what true Orange is (even though I weep for her because of it). But there's no excuse for UF and its fans not knowing the difference.

And they don't.

Anyone who isn't color blind or from Gainesville can see this truck is the same shade of light red used on the Gators' uniforms.

UF should be applauded for its winning of the BCS title. I am grateful they made the SEC look good again. But what good is that if, at the end of the day, they can't tell the difference between red and Orange?

  2. Okay, so here's the deal:
    1.) You essentially beg for photographs of orange vehicles.
    2.) You want the photographers (your friends)sending the photos to determine whether they think the vehicles are just the right shade of orange for YOUR taste.
    3.) You tease your friends mercilessly for not knowing EXACTLY what shade of orange you are wanting.
    4.) Nice. Reeeeally nice.

    Are you happy now, Jackass??
