everything I have is copper and gold... man cave too. Just can’t get into the maroon and silver. I know from a selling standpoint it is far better, I just don’t feel the same way about it.reinell30 said:CDAGRIZ said:I just wish they would go back to the original colors.
Would cost me too much to change to different colors. Everything I wear say's Griz on it. My man cave is maroon and silver, my boat was special ordered in maroon and silver and I got permission from UM to use the griz paws on it. I like maroon and silver!

Aren't the original colors... what we have now? Swarthout changed them to copper and gold when he came up here to coach, after being an assistant at Texas and wanting to somewhat mimic their colors.
Colors Edit
Maroon & Silver (1893–1967, 1997–present)
Copper & Gold (1968–1996)
The official school colors of the University of Montana are copper, silver, and gold; these were chosen in recognition of the state's mining history. Contrary to popular perception, these colors have never changed, with the confusion stemming from the university's decision to represent "copper" with either maroon or "Texas orange" at various times in its history.
When the university was founded in 1893 and its colors were chosen, a lack of copper dye led the school to use maroon, and occasionally other colors, to represent copper. This had the effect of having the school's athletic teams not always being represented across the board by the same uniform colors. In 1967, head football coach and athletic director Jack Swarthout, who personally preferred the maroon and silver used by the football team, sought to make the schools colors more consistent and held a vote among UM coaches. They selected Texas orange (burnt orange to represent copper) and yellow gold to be used on the school's uniforms and it remained for the next 30 years.
The maroon was brought back in 1993 as part of the university's centennial celebrations and a student survey in 1995 showed support for a return to maroon and silver uniforms. Despite some vocal opposition, by 1997, the colors began to phase into the maroon and silver that are currently used.

Is that your Griz boat that I’ve seen up at Canyon ferry in the past? That thing is beautiful!
