    Maybe they go with Cardinal a la Stanford but with obviously a different meaning. And black and navy blue are almost indiscernible from a distance.

    I went about 10 years believing the Chicago Bears home jersey was black.

    It can be I'm wondering if we could still have a black Alt tho.

    Aren't navy, red and gold the colors of the Marines and (in a way) prominent in the Navy as well? Maybe Bucs or Pilots or Privateers even?

    Also just food for thought - out state flag is prominently navy and gold with pelicans on it - so that doesn't necessarily eliminate "Pelicans".

    Sure sounds like it's not "Breakers" though.

    +1. I swear the Yankees road uniforms look black as heck to this day, yet they're navy in certain light.

    Keep thinking of these colors and the words "ballsy" and "old school" and I'm wondering if it couldn't have something to do with the DDay Museum or the Higgins boats or something nautical like that. Isn't Benson a vet? Those colors are very patriotic.

    I heard cardinals before by some rumor either on here or 247, and these colors lead me to think of that name....
    Formally known as WhoDatMan504

    And I think Navy and Gold is fine on its own. Sure it's that Irish team everyone is gaga over, but whatever. Red could be like a highlighting color, me thinks.

    Source was Gail Benson PRE GAME interview with Jennifer Hale.

    NBA has final say on #Hornets colors & name change. That process has not yet begun. Red, navy & gold is the combination the Bensons prefer.

    If the name is Cardinals, stands a good chance the main color will be that "red" (as in cardinal red). Cardinal, gold, and navy blue is what the colors would be.

    Im guessing they picked the colors because of the New Orleans City Flag. Makes sense. Still sticking with Pelicans, based on everything Ive heard that the name of the team.

    Any one being the main one works. Even gold. Not sure what's everyone got on Cardinals for though. But whatever. Any name works.

    so what is the exact order gale listed the colors? that's most likely your answer as far as which colors are primary, secondary, and highlights.

    Believe it was Red, Gold and Navy in that order. Could be wrong though

    Edit: She may have said Gold first. I know for sure Navy was the last color mentioned. No one here has a DVR? Come aaahhhnnn....

    From the get-go the word has been, unofficially, that we could rebrand this coming offseason. We shall see, and clearly they are gunning for it.

    I think it will be red jerseys, gold betters and blue lining.

    Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams

    Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston

    Not sure why the order she said something would imply order of importance.

    In this situation I agree, but most of the time when talking about a team the first color that is mentioned is the primary color.

    I'm not sure that's true at enough of a rate to make the leap here (say, 95%) when it's just someone talking off the cuff. Why not list her favorite color first?
