Orange B'ball
Thank you for your attentiveness in bringing up the issue of Syracuse's official colors, which is not solely relevant to your edits of Syracuse Orange men's basketball, but to all of the Syracuse Orange-related articles. While I recognize your concern, and see that you have made a well-supported claim, these color boxes may also be used to reference the defacto colors employed by the university, athletic department, team and its merchandisers, both currently and through the history of the organization. In this case, while Syracuse may not recognize Blue as an official color, it still employs blue in its logo, and on countless other officially-sanctioned media (see the university's athletics website, or the warm-ups being worn by the team at the NCAA tournament...for starters).

That said, I have reverted your edits as a matter of maintaining consistentcy within the article, as well as with the well-established and well-documented history of the use of blue as a defacto color. Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's consensus policy, which employs the article's discussion board as a means of resolving editing conflicts. If you feel your argument is worthy of further debate, please use the discussion board to establish consensus on whether or not the Wikipedia community agrees with proceeding with your edit, BEFORE going ahead with the edit.

And on another note, a secondary color must be included in the infobox for it to function properly on the page, regardless of whether or not there is a second official color. If, then, you would advocate for the use of white instead of blue, please also make your argument to this end.

Thanks for your time, and welcome to Wikipedia. Sinisterminister (talk) 04:22, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
