we've all seen espn and thier "did you know???" segment. now its time for a 3adl "did you know???" ill start it off.
DID YOU KNOW........ that Penn States Original colors where NOT blue and white????
A three-member committee representing the sophomore, junior and senior classes was appointed in October of 1887 to develop color options from which the student body would select the school's official colors. DARK PINK and BLACK was the unanimous choice of the student body after considering the color combinations presented by the committee.
Soon many students and the baseball team were sporting pink and black striped blazers and caps. However, problems arose when the pink faded to white after several weeks of exposure to the sun. The students then opted for blue, rather than black, and white. The official announcement of the new choice was made on March 18, 1890.
