How did Vanderbilt choose gold and black as its colors? The
school colors are black and gold. Opinions vary as to the reason for selecting
black and gold as the colors for Vanderbilt's teams. Some say the original colors
were orange and black, given to the university by Judge W.L. Granbery of Princeton.
Others say that Commodore Vanderbilt's legacy was called upon to develop school
colors for the university that bears his name: black for the magnate's control
of coal and gold for his money.
When questioned about the subject in the 1930s, the few remaining members of
the school's first football squad from 1890 did not recall why they suddenly
began appearing in black and gold. Whatever the source of the colors, by 1892,
the Commodores were known by the colors that Vanderbilt fans still wear today.
