We, the fans of Marshall University want the President, Athletic Director and Board of Governors to bring back Kelly Green as the official color of Marshall University.

We realize that sometimes Kelly Green is not easy to find. However, it is our color. It is a part of tradition in which we take great pride. We want to build a gameday atmosphere that rivals some of the top schools in the country. If you visit Ohio State, you don't see 3-4 different shades of Scarlet. In Knoxville, there is but one shade of Orange. In Morgantown, you see no variations in the Blue & Gold. We want consistancy at Marshall University. We want to turn on ESPN and see Huntington, WV and it's sea of green. We want to walk down the streets and through the tailgate areas on football gameday and be unified by a common color.

Kelly Green is what set us apart from Michigan State and Ohio University. When people see Kelly Green they think of Marshall University. However, since the color change just a few years ago we have lost our identity. With the release of "We Are Marshall" in the fall, we believe this is an opportunity to return to our roots. To return to the days that Kelly Green was a source of pride for the people of Huntington and Marshall fans all across the country. If there was ever a time we could address the availability of Kelly Green Merchandise it's at this time, when the world can see big names such as Matthew Mcconaughey and Matthew Fox wearing the tradition Marshall colors.

So please consider our recommendation to return to Kelly Green as the official green of Marshall University.
