That's true, but at least the gold wasn't so yellow, like it is now. Not sure when that happened, it just seemed to get brighter and brighter, maybe in the 80's-90's, I don't know.It's a bit comical how people wet themselves over the '70s uniforms, yet none of the shades of gold matched each other back then (or in the '07 edition).
The mid 70's pant stripe was definitely a darker still, shade of gold, to contrast the pant gold. That's not unusual really. We currently have two official shades of gold. My opinion is that they are both just a little off, too yellow.
