If you go to https://teamcolorcodes.com/appalachian- ... lor-codes/ it does list our gold as yellow.
...and Nike refers to our variant of yellow as "University Gold". I love our shade of yellow and think it looks great with black. I'm not a fan of old gold - feels too copycat with Wake for my taste.
Old gold clothing generally looks old and faded too. It's a color that does not translate well to fabric that is used for t-shirts, polos, hoodies, etc.
I agree. Old gold helmets can look good but I like our black helmets better than any gold ones we've ever had. Old gold fabric winds up looking like metallic khaki. There are certainly some classic uniforms out there that use it and the traditionalist in me appreciates it, but if I'm honest with myself, I really like the university gold as a trim color. It just looks sharp! I don't care for the yellow as a primary uniform color. I don't mind yellow pants, but not wild about the yellow jerseys. Yellow helmets are ok as an alternate every once in a while. I really dislike the all yellow uniforms!

What, you don't want everyone to look like they've been smothered in dijon mustard?
Give 'em hell!
