Do you say "I bleed back and gold?"

I used to. But I would find it a little embarrassing if I still did.

I am still a big fan, but I find that rhetoric kind of inaccurate now.

And, by the way, our colors are black and yellow, not black and gold. The Saints are black and gold.

Whoever thought yellow was gold?
 
I Bleed Black N Gold.

Despite the song that tried to capitalize off Steelers fans, they were,are, and always will be Black N Gold.

But just saying yellow is gold does not make it so. It's not even close.

ask anyone what NFL team wears black and gold and unless they are from New Orleans they are going to say the Steelers
 
Go into HOME DEPOT and order yellow, then order official STEELERS TEAM color and see what you get. DEFINATELY two different colors. Now one time I wanted panzy blue and they gave me cheater's color.!!!!





Salute the nation

Steelers are black and gold

Saints are black and metallic gold
 
Black and gold yes. Not back and gold though
 
Black and Gold. Go back to New England POP
 
The goddamn lyrics say "black and yellow" due to meter. You know, the number of syllables in a sentence.

Poetry (and for a very long time, song writing) incorporated two - THAT MEANS TWO, NOT ONE - element: rhyme and meter. Rhyme is self-explanatory.

Meter refers to the mixture of syllables, both emphasized and non-emphasized, in every line. Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner." Note how he uses the emphasized syllables to tell the tale:

"The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,
The furrow followed free.
And we were the first, to ever burst,
Into that shining sea."

Do you recognize how the number of syllables and the mixture of emphasized and non-emphasized syllables mix together beautifully??

Compare these two choruses:

"Uh huh, you know what it is
Black and yellow
Black and yellow
Black and yellow
Black and yellow
Yeah uh huh, you know what it is
Black and yellow
Black and yellow
Black and yellow
Black and yellow"

Compare that to:

Uh huh, you know what it is
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
Yeah uh huh, you know what it is
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold"

You do see the different meter, don't you??

The Laker nickname came from the state of Minnesota being the Land of 10,000 Lakes. The team's colors are purple, gold and white. The Lakers logo consists of the team name, "Los Angeles Lakers" written in purple on top of a gold basketball.



By 1950, Green Bay had changed its colors to hunter green and gold. Navy blue was kept as a secondary color, seen primarily on sideline capes, but was quietly dropped on all official materials shortly thereafter.

So let me get this straight....you think that color is gold?

Who cares what I think????

Google images says that color is one of the first five when I ask for "gold."
 
I can see both sides of the argument, but to me gold is a darker yellow. Look at what real gold looks like and it is nothing like the color of our uniforms. Just because the steelers call it gold does not make it so.

I'm colorblind and you all are racist... er.... colorists???
