Always wondered why a team has a color as a mascot. Did they invent Maroon in 1919 or something?

Surprised we don't have the Mauves from the 1980s or the Teals from the 1990s.

Guessing it might be tied to the early success of the University of Chicago under Amos Alonzo Stagg? High schools have been known to copy colleges on such things, like a certain high school near the U of I lifted "On Wisconsin" for its fight song...

DGL's outside shot has beautiful arc.

Reminds me of Ayo's shot when he arrived, though - shoots from the chest, and he had to work on it a ton (we all know how that turned out!)
