[edit] Bugs Bunny & "maroon"
The following sentence was added at the very top of the "Uses" section:
- For clarification purposes, the term "maroon" as used by Bugs Bunny was not referring to the color maroon, but rather, was Bugs pronunciation of the word "moron."
This sentence did not seem to merit such a prominent placement, so I deleted it. Alki 22:07, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lake Worth High School
Lake Worth High School is listed under the section which says "colleges and universities with maroon as a school color". Dlkcsmith 22:55, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Maroon
Maroon is brownish-red, not red-violet. Just look at the word "marron", Spanish for brown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.214.175.60 (talk) 23:57, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Maroon School colors
Why does it talk about the Scorpio color under "School colors"?
[edit] Sports
The section on Sports needs to be organized, perhaps by professional leagues, colleges and universities, and high schools (secondary schools). Examples of better organization abound in Wikipedia (cf. Vikings, Bulldogs, etc.). PlaysInPeoria (talk) 23:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
