I have bottle of Baby Blue red wine...does that count?

Red at my place only at Xmas with Green.

I prefer/buy Gravenstein apples/green....rather than red apples any day of the week.
They make better pies.

Being a Jew means you can decorate in blue. Conversion is an option.

I freely admit that a co-worker asked me to buy him a sweatshirt from Stanford at a game one year. I'd brought him sweatshirts from coast to coast. Georgia, Florida, Florida State, UNC, Duke, Wake Forest, OK State, Texas, all over the country. But I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Their on-campus store sold me a dark navy Stanford sweatshirt. I have to admit that he was a little perturbed by my choice.

On the other hand, I'm wearing a Manchester United hoodie as I write this. Drinking from a United coffee cup. And any football fan knows United's wannabe rivals wear blue.

Of course, it's that sissy sky blue UCLA color, so that's worthy of dislike on multiple levels.

There's a UCLA blue??? I thought they used about 20 different shades of blue.

I own a red car and a red motorcycle. I don't know how it happened... they're both deep, burgundy-maroonish red, not cardinal, so there's that.

I don't own a single item of red clothing, however.

No true United supporter would consider any London club a rival. No, only Manchester City qualifies as "United's wannabe rival" and their sissy sky blue matches UCLA's traditional blue. Not the new blue where they are just trying to copy Cal at something else. Showing my age, I guess. Good one with Chelsea, though.

Hold up, there's more. UCLA has a different academic color (UCLA Blue) than its athletic color, true blue: [ATTACH=CONFIG]5785[/ATTACH]

It's amazing what one can find on wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCLA_Blue

Well...damn. This is my Ranchero. Original color, matches the color code on the door, so I'm not gonna change it. For Big Game, though, I'm gonna have to get a couple of Cal window flags.

Nice ride. Maybe also construct a hot air balloon or Papier-mch of a larger than life Oski taking a dump that you can hang above your car? Only on game days of course.

Also, I bought a portable Coleman gas barbecue from Amazon a couple years ago. The blue one cost $20 more than the red one. WTF??? Of course, I sprung for the blue one.

The blue costs more because blue is the color people want. Duh. You lower the price of the sh!t you're trying to get rid of.

The red Ferrari is a douche car.

But if you're going to auction to pick up an investment-grade Ferrari, like, say this nice 250 GTO (most recently sold for $38M), or even a more recent F40, you simply have no choice... :headbang

---

Oh I was so wrong. A [COLOR="#0000FF"]blue[/COLOR] version of the Ferrari 250 GTO is going for an asking price of $56M. It hasn't sold yet but may end up dwarfing the $38M price of the red 250 GTO.

Relevance: ASU, SDSU, Utah, SC, and Furd all wear red. For us, it's like Krytonite.

Last week my wife came home with a free, hand me down car seat. The only issue is that it's red. I said, "Well, we can't keep that. It's red." She said, "Oh, come on." I told her I was serious and she said we're not getting rid of it. I'm sure some of you have had this experience. So my question is, does anyone know a good divorce lawyer? 😀

---

No red anywhere. I'm divorced so it's a lot easier to control... I don't even allow red rental cars.

Funny, I have nothing red in my house nor in my wardrobe. I volunteered for a Christmas event this week and subsequently received a confirmation email from the organizor with some instructions including:
Attire: Red shirt, jeans, comfy shoes.

Initial response was to reply: **** furd! Go Bears!

My wife said that wasn't appropriate and bought me a simple red sweater to use just for the occasion. :headbang

Only truly red item I have is T-shirt for a charity event from a bunch of years ago. Never wore it. :-)

My son's school's colors are Black and red, but fortunately they use red as the highlight color... But even then I thought about it for a bit. :-)

Go Bears!

I was just pondering my lack of red in my wardrobe. I look really good in red, but for about 25-30 years I went without buying red clothes. Now, I have a red v-neck sweater that I bought a couple of years ago for Christmas. And a couple red ties for Valentine's Day. Still feels like a lot.

No red clothes, no red rental cars, no red accessories, no red teams

No red ... Not now, not ever


Go Bears, A's, Raiders, Warriors, and even Sharks

Maroon is worse than red. At least we beat the furdies every once in a while.

Red items are not allowed in T4K's house. No red ever. I seriously dislike the color.

Same here.

When my kids were young and came inside with a bleeding scraped knee, I made them wait outside until they bled Blue and Gold!!!

Zero red. Never had and never will.
Go Bears!

Have you all ever discussed this with your therapist?

I never wore red when I was a Cal student, but after I graduated, I thought I was more "mature" and would wear the occasional red tie. As I got into my 30s, I really matured and just got the red out completely.

My next-door neighbor is a Cal alum, even a pretty big Cal fan, but has a bright red car. No WAY I would buy a red car.

When my son was around 2-3, he said his favorite color was red. It made me sick, but I wasn't sure the best way to deal with it. I mean, I had never seen myself as a parent who would spank, but... THIS?!? I ended up sort of just ignoring it, while making sure we never got him anything red. When would ask me my favorite and least favorite colors, I'd tell him and explain why. By age five, his favorite color was blue and his least favorite was red. I kind of think he should get "points" for this on his way to a legacy admit.

We hardly have any red. When my wife (then fianc) moved in she started decorating the kitchen with red towels, rugs cookie jars and a few other things. That didn't fly. We changed everything to gray not long after.

I hate the color red and have since before I was even a Cal fan. My high school rival was red and I just look horrible in the color and haven't worn it since I was probobly in elementary school. But it being Stanford colors just adds on to my hatred for it.

I totally agree. I have very few things in my house that are true red (three fire extinguishers). My wife every once in a while will purchase something that she says is burnt orange (like the color of the Golden Gate Bridge).

Other than the fire extinguishers, the only items that we have that are red are a number of Christmas decorations. Although one Santa Claus of ours is wearing a Blue outfit with white trim instead of his traditional red and white gig. IIRC we purchased it through the "Bear Territory" guys -- Chris and Steve.

P.S. Back in that day, Chris and Steve sent out Christmas Cards which on the outside had a photo of Chris, Steve and Santa. It is titled "Take off that Red Suit" and shows Chris and Steve yanking Santa's red coat off of him. Inside there is a another photo of Chris, Steve and Santa only this time Santa with his coat off and is wearing a blue T-shirt.
