High school - (Royal) Blue and Gray
College - Orange and Black
O’Fallon Township High School Panthers. They called their colors Blue and Gold. But they were actually Blue and Yellow.
Why did they have different colors? The jocks and the nerds didn’t want to be associated with each other?
Hail our Panthers, hats off to thee!
To our colors true we will ever be!
Red, black, white!
United we stand!
Blue and White.
Eagles
Blue and white. Havre Blue Ponies, from Havre, Montana.
As a Chicagoan and an Illinois alum, I’m fond of the combo too. It’s very festive in a football stadium, I think.
My HS colors were Green and Gold…which I don’t have much nostalgic affection for due to the GB Packers.

You know, without looking it up I am guessing blue and gold for college as well (Pitt); that is how much an impression the university made on me.
Now St Olaf College on the other hand ------ black and gold. And I have only ever been there as a guest speaker.
:smack:
Green and gold. Long Beach Polytechnic, home of the Jackrabbits!
EDIT: and Snoop Dogg and Cameron Diaz, among many others.
Not sure. According to the website-
Maroon and Gold
Green and gold. There was some reason for them, but I can’t remember what.
We also had a coat of arms thingy with a Latin phrase that was all very symbolic and important, but nobody really seemed to actually apply it to anything. We were very cynical at our school.
It has a sad little website these days, but of course, not when I was there, in the ancient days of 1981-87.
Interesting. The colors of the junior high school I went to, Poplar Bluff Junior High School, Poplar Bluff, Missouri, were maroon and white for the Poplar Bluff Mules.
Nope, Chicago’s Morgan Park High School.
South Kitsap High-green and gold.
Lakeland High-green and gold.
Green and white. Go, Warriors! Like a couple other posters, our fight song was to the tune of “On, Wisconsin”.
Plaid and White. The band all wore kilts.
Ah, I remember being a sophomore, three of the best years of my life.
I don’t know what that means.
My school was a regional one, it served a large area that included about six or seven outlying fishing villages and farming communities, so students ranged from ages 11 to 17. Basically Middle School (we called that Intermediate) to the last years of High School, but the system was more like the British than anything America has, and it was in the Southern Hemisphere so the school year began in January.
Basically, what I’m saying is, there are so many differences to how other countries do it, I find it difficult to equate it to what anybody else experienced. Things like Junior, Sophomore, and Senior, or Summer Camp, or “Ninth Grade” don’t mean anything to me. Americans insist on measuring their childhood by which grade they were in, and I have to spend a minute or two working out the maths to understand how old they were to compare it with my own experience. “Ninth Grade” was probably age 14 maybe? So that might be “Fourth Form” for me.
