Being red-green colorblind, I have long given up trying to use the appropriate color for all schools, but I must add:
From the Cornell Alumni Magazine Vol 104 No. 4 describing why Cornell's uniforms are bright red
Some give credit to legendary hockey and lacrosse coach Ned Harkness, who came to the Hill in 1963. He changed the color of the hockey uniforms to bright red (perhaps because that was what he was accustomed to, after eighteen years at RPI); other Cornell sports teams followed suit.

Case you're wondering, this is the first deficit Cornell has faced since Jan. 12 at Yale.

Can't agree with you about Jason Weinstein.Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Originally posted by 40-Year Big Red Fan View PostMaybe for hockey. But "Cornell University’s colors are carnelian red and white. Cornell's first association with its signature colors was the red felt banner bearing hand-cut white letters spelling “Cornell University" used during the October 7, 1868 inauguration of the university and its first president, Andrew Dickson White. The nickname "Big Red" for Cornell teams originated in 1905." -- https://meetezra.admissions.cornell....eId=467&type=2

They are clearly fans of their team, but they don't include themselves in the play.Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
