Gotta tell ya -- I took my fiancee to Hockeyfest '91, and when she saw the
Clarkson uniforms, she said, "You know, those colors just aren't very
inspiring..."
 
But anyway, red is certainly a very popular color for hockey uniforms.  Of
the 44 Division I teams, there are 18 or 19 whose colors include some shade
of red:
 
ECAC:
     Brown (Cardinal)
     Colgate (Maroon)
     Cornell (Carnelian)
     Harvard (Crimson)
     RPI (Cherry)
     St. Lawrence (Scarlet)
 
Hockey East:
     Boston College (Maroon)
     Boston University (Scarlet)
     Lowell (Red)
     Northeastern (Red)
 
CCHA:
     Ferris State (Crimson)
     Miami-Ohio (Red)
     Ohio State (Scarlet)
 
WCHA:
     Denver (Crimson)
     Minnesota (Maroon)
     Minnesota-Duluth (Maroon)
     St. Cloud State (Cardinal)
     Wisconsin (Cardinal)
 
The one I'm not sure about is Illinois-Chicago, for which one of the colors
is described as "Flame".  I don't know whether this is red, orange, yellow,
or what.
 
While we're discussing uniforms, I just wanted to mention that the "DIY"
patch the Cornell players were wearing on their left shoulders is in honor of
Dr. Daniel I. Yale, the long-time team physician who died in February after a
long illness.
 
No, I will not be going to Michigan.  Guess who got his credit card bill
today, YAAGH!!
