Sports-team clothing should only be made in the team's actual colors.
Since branded logo-wear is NOT a statement of fashion or individuality -- in fact, it's EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE -- I wish people wouldn't try to make it into one.
For Instance: the colors of the New York Yankees are Blue and White. Period. Not cobalt. Not indigo. Not royal. But simple, clean, elegant, and (okay) slightly IBM-ish Navy Blue and White. (also the colors of Janey's college alma mater, lending further support to the bumper sticker credo: If God isn't a Penn State (or Yankee) fan, why is the sky blue and white?)
I don't want to see another pink, or red, or turquoise, or (worst of all) brown New York Yankees cap.
Thankfully I haven't yet seen the bastardization of any of my hometown's colors. I dare anyone who remembers Lambert, Greene, Greenwood, Blount or Ham to try wearing anything but the black and gold.
