Green and Gold

Anybody wondering who else we share our team colors with? Since the purchase of the new pinnies and because the fabulous vendor was out of blue (substituting green…Kelly Green to be exact) some of you may have wondered if there was any significance to this. There was not. But there are some other great establishments we share the green & gold with.

Already mentioned in a previous post was the University of Oregon in Eugene. They are Ducks, we are Buzzards and Eugene is a conclave of all things “hippiesh” which at one time or another did include the sport of Ultimate.

The University of Alaska at Anchorage and the mighty Sea Wolves sport the green & gold. Of course Alaska has a lot of Coast Guard ties (not so much Anchorage maybe) and they do have an Ultimate Club team.

The Green Bay Packers who have, in my humble opinion, the ultimate football player of this generation, Brett Favre.

There is a Green & Gold political party in Australia. They market themselves as the “non-political” political party who says they will “keep the bastards honest”. Now that would be the ultimate.

The Woodbridge Senior High School Vikings were the arch rival to my school, the Gar-Field Indians just down the road in Dale City, VA. We were Red, White & Blue but I always liked their Green & Gold better.

Locally, we share our colors with George Mason University.
