Pittsburgh Gold is here to stay!

Here is one of the most iconic hockey photos ever:

Bobby Orr of the Big, Bad Bruins. Scoring the Stanley-Cup-winning goal in 1972. At home, in the old Boston Garden.

Even though it's a black-and-white photo, can you imagine how wimpy this photo would look if Orr were wearing white?

[Also take note: Orr would not appear to be flying in the air if it were not for the fact that s.o.b. Noel Picard decided to trip him as he scored the goal. Thanks, Noel, for helping to create a classic photo.]

Well stated.

Oh, you did. That was a legit compliment.

It's a supporting role. Black and gold are the stars.

White is a team color in that every team wears it. Yay, every team!

You make it seem like they're wearing a plain white undershirt out there

I like cricket so lets not pretend it's that far-fetched a proposition.

I watch all of the games on TV, so there's no difference over the course of the season. while I have a stunningly high, it was not needed to reach this conclusion.

Go suck an egg.

A white egg or a colored egg?

You take that 1950s race baiting right out of here, bub.

Colored eggs tend to be bigger, more satisfying.
