Now, you're probably a patriotic person. You love our nation and are happy to be a citizen. You may even decorate your house with the colors of the flag on Independence Day or where red, white, and blue on Labor Day or something. But would you do these things year round?
Stillwater is orange. Seriously, everything in town is supportive of the school. Which is fine, of course, it's just that the school color is so . . . ugly. I think that orange is a fine color when used properly. Orange explosions are not so good.
And everybody wears orange! Maybe I notice it only because it's a color that is usually used in moderation, but even Allison's work requires her to wear an orange OSU shirt on Fridays.
I think part of my problem is the mascot doesn't match the color. When OSU was founded on Christmas day in 1890, it was originally Oklahoma A&M and the mascot was the tiger (I learned that from the hold music whenever I call the office. Guess how often that happens). Orange tigers I can get behind. Orange cowboys; I can't get behind that.

If you don't like orange so much then why do you require Allison to where it every Friday?
Her work requires it. I've adjusted the post to reflect that.
I'm intermittently watching the OSU game. There is definitely a lot of orange in that stadium. Happy Game Day! :)
