Thanks for the attention to UTA colors edit

Thanks for the attention to UTA colors, BUT... You are confusing the colors approved for the communications identity of the school with the school's branding effort and official colors. Orange is not an official color of UTA. (It is the official color of the UT System, and that is a whole different discussion.) If you can find a source that says UTA has now adopted orange as an official school color, then edit the encyclopedia to reflect that change. Until then please refrain from editing the official colors. Tee Owe (talk) 22:25, 18 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • Since I read your comment above I've briefly searched for a concrete source for the official colors. You can look at page 186 of this UT system regulations document, which states "The official colors for the System shall be orange and white; provided, however, that a component institution may adopt one additional color to be used..." UT Arlington's additional color must then be blue, and I'm guessing each university can choose a particular shade of orange since all of them look to be different across the system.

    • Yes the UT System does impose the rule that a shade of orange is to be used by its member entities in all its official identity items (letterheads, logos etc...) and on certain parts of the academic regalia (my masters hood has orange and white on it). The silliness and obnoxiousness of this stipulation aside, there is considerable ambiguity in exactly what the requirements are for school colors themselves, specifically in regards to athletic teams and sports logos. It is also impractical: the UT System has at least five division schools who all must wear orange, and maybe another color?! There simply aren't enough color complements to orange aside from blue and green to give each university its own color scheme. UTA, UTEP and UTSA are all blue and orange. I think U of California does the same thing with gold, which is much more of a neutral color.

Anyway I added it back, mostly. I personally find it a point of pride that Arlington and Austin are two separate distinct institutions. Tee Owe (talk) 01:36, 19 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
