alankarls Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I've often wondered what color was used most in corps names. I'd guess Blue. I've seen Scarlet, Emerald, Golden, Blue, Black, Grey, Purple, White. Were any other colors used in corps names? Are St. Mary’s Cardinals named for the color, the bird or the churchmen?

Maybe the color gold? I would guess Blue though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Mike Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Bleu by any other spelling is still Blue I say BLEU is the most comon colcr The rest are just a guess Emerald Red ( and Scarlet ) Towards the bottom could be white / silver Last would be Teal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Matczak Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 According to my DCI Era index (only includes corps 1972-present) there were...... 42 corps with Blue in their name 26 corps with Gold 13 corps with Black 12 corps with Emerald right now in 2013, it would be kinda cool if DCI managed the tour in a way where there is a local show with all the current corps with blue in their name,................it would be a ###### cool show!

That reminds me of the June 25, 1983 show in Denver, where corps #6-10 in the standings were: Nighthawks Blue Knights Black Knights Emerald Knights Hollywood Knights By the way.....there were 61 corps with Knights in their name 1972-present. (That doesn't include the Nighthawks.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alankarls Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Silver I forgot silver I remember the Salina Silver Sabres and the Munising Silver Sabers. So Teal and Silver should be added. I looked in Corps Reps and see that there were Green, Yellow and Red, also. Any other colors in corps names?
