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?

Correct. Also the smaller the production run the more expensive it becomes.

Historically Vermilion was made from a powdered mineral, cinnabar. Cinnabar however was found to have a certain level of toxicity so Vermilion became really hard to produce mid 20th Cemtury.

Fire red and tomato red are close.

Thanks. Us fat boys need to stick together.

Yes, but I like to use the term "portly"

Now open on Johnston at Legacy. Good selection of just FDL, Louisiana, or Ragin Cajun gear. Still with the UL Lafayette sweatshirts and various things...overall, those products are somewhat in the minority...

I'm assuming this is the location at the Heritage apartments?

Vermilion red and Evangeline white.

[ZoomZoom]

So basically we’re red because it is a primary color and cheap.

[KajunKrazy]

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 . . .

Unless the baldwin era was 50 years ago, my school traditional wore red and white for the vast majority of that time period. You never saw black during or prior to the stokley days.

[JayWalker]

Overall a good selection. Just came from there.

Your point?

[facelessjonmoon]

Yep, sorry on johnston near fire station

Thank you. I need to go check it out again

[Crawfish]

Fat is definitely a trigger word.

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.

Since black is not an official school color, they could just change it to black and whatever; like the dirtbags did.

"The school colors have been black and gold since 2000, when they were changed by a student referendum (after George Allen changed the football uniform colors) from the original brown and gold."
