The back of that scoreboard looks like garbage, what the heck? Why is it light gray?

I thought it was navy a week or two ago, but it looks like it’s a light blue or gray, it’s looks bizarre.
If making the back of the scoreboard ugly got us a win I’ll take it.
Dark blue facing south is doomed to quickly fade.
wasnt the previous scoreboard blue ?
just asking
I know what you’re saying , but they do sell this product called paint for 5 years down the road
Yeh, all too familiar with it. Just repainted my west-facing front door last week!

It didn’t, we could have won without it looking ugly.
Why isn't the back Orange?

I would imagine it's because lighter colors show dirt/wear and tear more easily. A darker color keeps it looking better so you don't have to constantly do non-essential maintenance on it
But light grey is a lighter color than Orange...just saying.
Make it orange or at least keep it blue...grey is not even a thing for our colors and looks terrible.
I’m in the minority here but when I saw the aerial shots of MS from behind the new scoreboard, I thought it all looked really nice together. Very clean.
But maybe it would look even better with that dark blue.

Same, I like the new look better. Walking in yesterday I thought to myself, "The back of the new scoreboard looks really nice now that it's complete."
