Should these links, link to schools or athelic team pages?
e.g. University of Nebraska-Lincoln versus Nebraska Cornhuskers

Color change

edit

What's the reason behind the new color? Does it match something Big 12 related? →Wordbuilder (talk) 15:59, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Since the editor who changed the color won't explain why, I'm going to revert it. It's an odd color. Perhaps we should try to match up with the grey in the Big 12 logo. I don't think trying to match the red would be a good idea since several Big 12 schools use red as one of their colors (i.e. Texas Tech, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Iowa State). The grey is currently used on the side. Perhpas put it at the top and change the side bar to red since the top is what is seen when the main part of the template is hidden. →Wordbuilder (talk) 14:51, 9 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
It should be the colors from the Big 12 logo. That was the general idea, and they were sampled using a digital color meter. The trouble is they aren't web-safe colors. "Won't explain why" is a bit harsh, I wasn't asked... Whatever happened to WP:AGF? Thanks. Yellowspacehopper (talk) 16:44, 9 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
I've resampled the color. Perhaps this is better. Yellowspacehopper (talk) 16:49, 9 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
I didn't intend it to sound harsh. After I posted, it occurred to me that you might not be watching this page. I held off on reverting the change and contacted you on your talk page. It does look better. Do you think red on top will make too much red on the pages of the schools that also have it as a primary color? →Wordbuilder (talk) 17:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
Maybe the Texas Tech and Iowa State pages look a little red dominated, but generally it seems Ok. Saying that, I wouldn't object particularly about swapping the gray and red, for instance, if you think it would be better fit. Yellowspacehopper (talk) 20:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
I swapped them. That should make it stand out since none of the schools use grey as a primary. Thanks for your help. I think all of the Big 12-related templates should follow this color scheme instead of the generic blue they're using now. →Wordbuilder (talk) 21:13, 9 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
