HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Marshall’s athletic department is adding a new shade of green to its team uniforms.

Athletic Director Mike Hamrick says in the coming years the uniforms will show the traditional kelly green color that many fans associate with the program.

Hamrick says it’s been one of his priorities since becoming athletic director a year ago.

Kelly green is currently used in Marshall’s football and basketball uniforms. Other sports use a darker shade of green that’s currently the university’s official color.

Marshall says kelly green will be available on its apparel at retail stores starting next summer.
