I used to like orange but then I warehoused and sold Illini merchandise (orange and blue) for the UofI's athletic association for several years. Can't stand bright orange now--only tolerate blue. Around here a lot of people make orange and blue Illini quilts. I can admire their handiwork but in the back of my mind I'm thinking, "Why put all that effort into something so hideous?"
Sorry to any Illini fans.
