[edit] New USF Colors

USF has changed its colors, evidence of this can be found here http://usfweb2.usf.edu/ur/identity_standards.pdf and http://usfweb2.usf.edu/ur/logos/. Also, I recently received a pamphlet from USF for the new Marshall Student Center with the new colors. Please visit links before changing back to old colors.--BaRiMzI 18:24, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

It is precisely those visual identity standards that prompted the change I made. You'll note, on page 4 of the Visual Identity Standards, the official USF colors for the Web are Green: #336633; Gold: #CCCC99, which was my earlier revision. If I were changing to an older color set, it would have been the green and yellow once used. I'm not sure of the justification behind the current color scheme, but if there isn't one, I'd prefer for the box to display the official University colors as noted above.

To be honest with you I'm not sure what to do then. I looked at the page you said and saw it there. My only gripe with the color situation is that USF St. Petersburg uses the new colors. If you want to change it back then go for it. --BaRiMzI 18:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I just checked the websites and I see what you mean. That seems odd to me though; obviously we are the same University, so I'm not sure why that is. I'm going to change the colors back. No disrespect to the St. Pete campus, but rather to comply with the VI Standards and the other campuses' sites. --Littledrummrboy 15:09, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rocky the Bull

I added in Rocky the Bull, seems fit as he is the mascot.--BaRiMzI 23:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] editing template

I added in the navs so people viewing the template can easily edit it. This will make it easier for anyone wanting to edit the template but unsure as to how to find the template. its a pretty self explanatory. --BaRiMzI 20:21, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] borders and history

I added in green borders and a history section. The borders are simply for the template to seem more appealing, if you want them out tell me and I'll edit them out. --BaRiMzI 21:39, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

• New stuff looks great--thanks for your work on this! --Littledrummrboy 20:58, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
• Thanks, happy to do it.--BaRiMzI 05:29, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dispenser changes

Can we discuss the change before you go off and change it. At least tell us first. I was shocked when i saw these changes. Reverted them for the time being. --BaRiMzI 18:48, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Herd of Thunder

Added the Herd of Thunder to template under Athletics. --Littledrummrboy 16:54, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
