Dude you have to stop referring to copyrights and trademarks every time this discussion of school colors comes up. The colors, in and of themselves, are not subject to either. Copyright refers to the rights associated with the written word for the most part (i.e., copy) - the right to copy (e.g., words, songs, pictures, books, literature, articles, website content). Copyrights have nothing to do with colors. Period. Trademarks have to do with protected designs such as a logo like the block A or the Arizona saguaro cactus design, or words and slogans like Bear Down or Beast Mode (Lynch has trademarked the phrase and he protects it. I've seen the letters from his lawyers). Those protected designs can certainly incorporate colors as a specific part of the design, or you can protect a design in plain black and white. The colors, blue and red - whatever the "official" pantones are in and of themselves, are not copyrighted or trademarked by the UofA without reference to a specific design or logo, and certainly not for the uniforms.

You shouldn't spout off with such authority, as you typically do, when you don't know what you're talking about. It's tiresome.

For the record, I think the shade and appearance of the red helmets and red numbers have improved over the last couple of years. It's darker, more cardinal if you will. I used to think it was pretty neon day-glo, not orange as GC perceives, but too bright.

Yeah, I've read all of that stuff before many times. You'll note the title, "The University of Arizona Logo and Color Standards." They're rules and protocols that the UofA has adopted for the proper way to use the logos and colors on University prints and publications. You'll note that many of the logos include the "R" with the circle around it indicating that it is a federally registered trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The manual itself may be subject to copyright, but the colors are not copyrighted or trademarked.

Here's the University's Trademarks and Licensing site. Check out the logo sheet. It shows all of the marks that are protected. Also note, for the record, that each one of those sheets lists the school colors as red, blue, copper and white.

Also, super awkward interview.
