For as long as I can remember, we've been handed these sad and sorry pompoms. Navy blue and white mixed.
They come off GLOOMY GRAY for heaven sake. Am I the only one this bothers? They need to be solid DUKE BLUE.
Love, Ima

I'll talk to our guy in Marketing. No way we're getting rid of these, though. I said I want these at EVERY GAME from now on. Looked awesome from the crowd shots I saw on the ESPN replay.

I think they will look better in daylight.

The truth is that's the blue and white from the 50s and 60s. The transition to a bolder shade of blue came while my class was on campus. We found ourselves or placed ourselves in the midst of lots of change!
At least they aren't all white or mostly black like the cheerleaders use at times.
If I were responsible for dealing with this choice, I'd go with a bold, royal blue, no white. Embrace the blue!

I agree, they looked gray on my TV, and I didn't like them; I would really prefer to see DUKE BLUE.

I wonder if some game sponsor paid for the pom poms but perhaps does not have a clear vision of our colors.

I haven't seen them in person
but I bet they're better than the too light a blue ones they gave out a few years ago! Those would have been disastrous yesterday!

I don't care what color they are, I'm still shaking mine!
Although Fordgirl commented on the way out "these need to be Duke Blue".

They did NOT look at all grey on TV last night (at least not on my TV). I do believe a pom pom upgrade is in order before our BOWL APPEARANCE!

I was happy to have them, and I was so excited that everyone was waving them.
However, I'd like for them to be metallic blue.

The PomPoms looked great in Wallace Wade, but should have been more Royal blue (Duke Blue)
The picture looks great, but the PomPoms in the photo, Look like Seaweed or something from the Swamp!
Go Duke GTHC
