PINK AND BLACK WERE ORIGINAL PSU COLORS (from The Daily Collegian ) Feb.. 17, 1959 Back in 1887 the classes of The Penn-7. sylvania State Universitk had chosen pink and black as the official class colors - , The following year a rash of pink and black blazers appeared on campus, According to the reminiscences of George R. Meek of the class of 1890 the sun soon turned the pink to white and took the jetness out of the black. The official colors were shortly changed to blue and white. So you see if the blazers of the 188 VS had been made of color-fast dyes, you might be singing.the praises of the pink and black instead of the familiar blue and white.
