To me, the obvious answer is Chicago with the distinctive maroon and white. It’s iconic and in a league of its own

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!


This list is not out of the ordinary like the OPs....

while I dislike orange, I dislike brown more

and baby blue is pretty bad as a school color. And no, it can't be rebranded, Carolina ;P

Besides Texas, does any other school use burnt orange? It's not my favorite, but you have to admit that it's distinctive and exclusively associated with the Longhorns.

We have two kids there and I get it too - but we either wear orange or maroon. Not both at the same time!
