I think they're every bit as yellow as yellow jackets. But the Mighty Ducks are gold. Maybe that's why they're mighty. That is the way out for most teams. They wear yellow, but they call it gold.
Some teams even start out as yellow, but then get, uh, chicken and change to gold.
Those are the Brewers, the Padres and the SuperSonics. More teams are teal than yellow. Eighty-six of them wear gold. One of them is Oregon. Unlike the Mighty Ducks, the Oregon Ducks are not self-conscious.
