Most unique school colors?

[Anonymous]

My Dd is collecting a mental list of the most unusual school colors. Most colleges have the same 8-10 color schemes, but we’ve been thinking about what it would be like to buy gear for:

-Talladega (maroon and light blue- surprisingly good combo)
-Wyoming (brown and gold- not cute)
-Washington St. Louis (can’t figure out if it’s maroon and teal or maroon and forest, but it gives major Christmas vibes either way)
-Lehigh (brown and white, like my 80s childhood house)

Any others we’ve missed?

That’s a fun and unique project! Here are a few more colleges with unusual or distinctive color schemes that might interest your Dd:

UC Santa Cruz: Navy blue and gold, but their mascot, the Banana Slug, often gets paired with bright yellow.
Virginia Tech: Chicago maroon and burnt orange—definitely stands out.
University of Oregon: Green and yellow, but they often incorporate neon tones, especially on sports gear.
Bowdoin College: Black and white—a very classic but unusual choice for a school color scheme.
University of Chicago: Maroon and white, which seems ordinary but is very distinctive when paired with their gothic campus.
Syracuse University: Orange. Just orange. They own it completely.
St. Olaf College: Black and gold—almost regal, but a little different from the usual yellow/gold combinations.
Princeton University: Orange and black—again, gives off Halloween vibes but is quite striking.

These schools each have something different that could add a quirky twist to your Dd’s collection!

On purpose and specifically to be unique and don't forget the mascot is a Turkey.

You wonder what it is like to buy gear in particular colors? It is like buying any college gear. Weird

Sorry, I truly dislike VA Tech’s colors vs Princeton’s orange and black - and this comes from someone Princeton said no to

I really dislike orange as a school color in general. I of course married a TX fan (not an alum - just a fan), so lots of that hideous orange in his wardrobe.

Williams is purple and yellow and its mascot is the purple cow. Really.

College of Wooster have their own registered tartan. It is yellow with maroon and brown.

Bowling Green - orange and brown. Always bugs me when I see their logo.

Boise St is orange and blue, but the shades are so obnoxious, especially their blue football field.

I agree the neon shades for Oregon is obnoxious.
