Only problem is "Cardinal."

If you're not gonna call it Vermilion, at least call it red.

Its just a matter of time till it degenerates into a reenactment of what Ive seen twice at Albertsons on Johnston.

UL Cardinals apparel (Louisville)

I'm not saying it will make it to the rack, but reorder delays will happen if they can't get the color corrected

Is it really the wrong color or just not labeled properly?

Louisiana's true color "Vermilion" has been ignored/avoided since the 1950's due to higher manufacturing costs.

Cajun Monkee is right, Red is more accurate than Cardinal

[R1Letterman]

understood, thanks.

But are they selling red and calling it cardinal or are they actually selling cardinal colored items?

Can you expand on the manufacturing costs? I did not know that.

Vermilion I was taught was red with a slight tilt toward Texas orange. As you can see, opinions vary.

[CajunVic]

I'm sorry but the colors Louisiana has consistently used ever since I can remember (almost 50 years) are red, white and black.

Those are the colors of my university . . .

I just hate that hot-wheels logo. Someone make it go away

They are calling it "cardinal." (ex. "black" hoodies, "white" hoodies, "cardinal" hoodies).

Look, I get it...I have dozens of pieces of UL clothes and a variety of shades of red.

I know we're not gonna get vermilion and I'm more than fine with that.

Heckfire, we don't yell "vermilion" and "white" back-and-forth at each other; its "red" and "white."

And not being in the textile business, I can still see where getting vermilion colored garments as opposed to red colored garments is just gonna be more expensive.

But don't call it "cardinal."

It's insulting.

Your 50 year memory is defective because black is a post 2000's implementation.

Thanks Gerald Hebert.

Its no coincidence, black is the cheapest to manufacture. Vermilion among the most expensive, historically at least.

Again, not having much knowledge of the textile industry, but red is a primary color.

Vermilion is a mixture of colors and that formula for creating vermilion the color increases the cost. I'm guessing it just adds another step (and cost) to the manufacturing of the garment.

Turbine, care to critique my assessment?

My memory is in fact defective as a result of occurrances which have transpired over the 50 years, especially the last one.

So, I am 2/3rds correct for 28 years and 100% rock solid for 22 years. Considering my current state, that is pretty darn good . . .
