Thomson grey for Arizona Cardinals fans....well...before they changed jerseys...

wow... I didn't know there WERE any Arizona Cardinals fans!

This topic, of finding tartans which match team colours, is an interesing one for sure. It could be extended to other sports and to colleges.

A local university here, University of California Riverside (the "Highlanders"), designed their own tartan in the school colours blue and gold. Of course 'blue and gold' is a very common college colour...my West Virginia Mountaineers wear it. It's the colours of most US states, I think. (By the way somebody invented a West Virginia tartan that's mostly green...not much use for a Mountaineers fan.)

Here's the UCRiverside pipe band with their blue&gold kilts:



(I and many others think that it was a mistake to pleat this lovely tartan to the stripe, which makes the rear of the kilts look like mustard.)

Another local university, Redlands, has the colours crimson and grey and a friend who did a lot of piping for U of R functions got a crimson and grey kilt, grey hose with crimson flashes, a grey kilt jacket, etc.

Perhaps someone could compile a list of team/state/school colours and the tartans that match, something like:

Blue&Gold: UCR tartan
Green&Yellow: Gordon, Irish National
etc
