Is there such a thing as BG orange paint (and brown for that matter) available in spray cans? No, there is no plan for vandalism-I just am thinking of messing around with my forge and seeing if I can come up with a trophy worthy of the rivalry. thought maybe the U or a hardware down there might have the right colors- I know you can get custom paint with a sample but if it exists already its easier for me.

On one side. The other side will be a hat.

My concept is a boot...one side is brown and orange, one side is blue and yellow. It becomes the "we kicked your butts" trophy...

Someone in the Sports Infomation Department should be able to get his/her hands on the Pantone numbers for the brown and orange we use.

Good thought. I'm not s creative as the rest- I was thinking of a steel football (just four curved bars bars welded at the bottom to a piece of 'C" channel (for the base) with a falcon and a rocket on each side. C channel would be half Blue with gold UTLP (Launching Pad, our board's name)stenciled on it in gold while the other half would be orange with BGAZZ stenciled in brown. I like both the boot and the half hat, half happy meal ideas-the HM and hat certainly would be a story to be passed down through the generations.

But the Utah schools play for a boot, and we don't want to steal anything from any other schools, we have to be original in everything we do

That and in the hands of a half-azzed web designer who needed to know what the "official" hexidecimal color was for brown and orange.

DAMN! I've never seen "hexidecimal" used in a sentence before.

And now "hexidecimal" has been used three times in one thread.
