COLORADO FANS DON THE COLOR OF RAGE: POWDER BLUE

PrintColorado once wore power blue uniforms without shame and with regularity. Correction: there probably was some shame involved since the team did it from 1981-84, a span including ten wins out of 44 games. If that sounds familiar, it should; it's about three wins less than Dan Hawkins 13 win total in year in year four of his coaching tenure.
We swear this happened. Look:
Colorado fans have opened the first official act of nonviolent resistance this year by starting a Facebook group asking fans to wear powder blue to the game on Saturday against Texas A&M. It's only fair, since Colorado's football team has been engaged in an act of nonviolent resistance to opponents all year long.

I feel thier pain and respect the gesture of protest. However, it would be more helpfull for thier program if they used the collective money of all the student buying new shirts and used it to buy Hawkins out.

Except, of course, against Kansas.

@5, That’s got to hurt, when is Reesing going to get back to putting up video game numbers? Or has Case Keenum stolen his “midget qb with mad skillz” title belt?

You know you’re bad when your dad benches you.
They should call the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, looks like they have been holding onto those jerseys since then.

Was this before or during the Bill McCartney "Christian Revival Tent\Family Values…. Although My Daughter is Secretly a Slut " era?

@ 4
Maybe that’s COTG’s way of saying He wants you to go easy on La Tech next week.
Seriously though, I hope y’all stay safe.

When it comes to beating A&M, there’s really only one thing that can get in your way:

It should be a powerful statement of dissent. CU games are attended by dozens of students and fans!

For all the shit Buffs fans talk, this is awesome. Buck the Fuffaloes.

I’m sure this is a silly question, but why would the Buffs wear powder blue when their school colors are black and gold?

The blue was part of a rebrand using the old Colorado state tourism motto “blue sky to 9,000 feet.”

Actually, Colorado’s official school colors are silver and gold. The black jerseys were introduced in the late 50’s.

Chuck Fairbanks and Dan Hawkins will fight to the death at midfield.
Sadly, no one will win.
And there will still be more red in the stadium than powder blue, black and gold, or hemp color combined
