BC fan Rick MacAdoo, who has been known to complain about Red
and White teams (after a tournament involving--I believe--Cornell, BU
and Wisconsin), seems to make the distinction that Harvard is a red
team but BC isn't. Don't see it myself.
Then again, I have this nagging feeling that Cornell and
Harvard got their colors swapped at some point. Outside of the Ivy
League, Carnellian is a dark red and Crimson a bright one. (I'm
always getting thrown by the "crimson"-clad U of Utah Utes, whose
uniforms are approximately the color of Cornell's.)
And on the subject of uniform colors, Joe also failed to
mention the other aspect of tomorrow's Clarkson-UVM green-and-gold
showdown: it's the only game where both teams wear the ECAC emblem in
its natural colors.
