I personally don't like the gold "alternative" color in our school colors. We are Red and Black and if we have a "third" color it should be white like it was in the past. Can we please lose this? Black and Red are really distinctive and the gold doesn't look good at all with our colors. What do you guys think? Our colors are original as hell and we shouldn't muck them up with yellow/gold in my opinion. Anyone else?  |

A lot has changed from the past.
A lot will continue to change in the future.
Things do change.
I guess losing gold could be one of them.
Or not.

Pretty sure the gold has officially been retired.

I say the Aztecs go to black on black with red trim.

Original colors in 1898 were white and gold. From 1921-22 they were white, gold and blue. 1922-23 they were purple and gold (as seen in the track uniform below). Since 1928 our colors have been scarlet and black but gold is part of our history. Attachments:

Tell you what: if the basketball team agrees to rock these shirts next year, then I'll never complain again about gold being one of our colors. Until then, NO.

University Advancement might have a few things to say about the gold.

So what do we do with all of our DS State Logos with gold trim?

People will get color blind if we win more.
Just ask Nike.

If gold is retired, why is it showing up more and more in our stuff. The CBSSports channel used an almost all gold w/ some red, in our name on the crawl all last week and I thought it was for another team. Its on the new apps and the alumni mag as well.
The whole time I went to school and lived in SD I don't remember gold being one of our colors. Black and Red look badass, so why mess with it? They look so good together multiple schools have copied the look. Here in Utah their gear is almost identical to ours now, the only thing that's changed are the four letters. Lameasses!

New traditions and fresh ideas are good and much needed to elevate San Diego State's image in college sports.
As a marketing designer & life long SDSU fan, the gold only makes perfect sense as a third accent color.
Done the right way the gold looks great and what other than blood & guts were the historical Aztecs known for...riches in Gold!
I believe if handled in a way similar to the Ravens use in their branding would work best.
Black on Black with Red and gold touches here n there.
