A Couple Sports Thoughts
Thinking about the most successful men's college basketball teams in history, the best seem to wear blue jerseys. Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, and UCLA. I wonder why the most successful programs all wear blue. It there something to it? It does seem appropriate, as blue gives off an air of success, aristocracy, and confidence. I wonder what the most popular color in the world is. What percentage of people say each color is there favorite. Anyway, I am excited that the Purdue men's squad will again be very good. I miss there strong teams of 8-10 years ago, with the likes of Brian Cardinal and Carson Cunningham. And of course the coaching of Gene Keady. I do not care about the end of the Steelers-Chargers game last week and I don't know what the controversy is or why anybody cares. The last play didn't determine the outcome of the game, why is everyone getting their pants in a bunch?

I wouldn't be surprised if blue is the most popular color for sports teams, which would partially account for the relationship between success and wearing blue. There are a higher number of widely used shades of blue, too (light blue, royal blue, and navy) compared to red (most teams just use a cardinal red) or green, too. Florida has blue, too, and so do a lot of the frequently successful smaller schools. Also, you see a lot of blue-and-red, some blue-and-green, whereas you don't see as much of any other color in multi-color uniforms.
