Auburn's official colors are burnt orange and navy blue.

There are many theories concerning the origin of Auburn's school colors. One claims "Miss Allie" sewed an orange "A" on a navy-blue letterman's sweater and used it to convince Coach George Petrie to use the colors of his alma mater, Virginia, for Auburn's first football game against the University of Georgia in 1892.

Another says a reporter asked Coach Petrie for the team's colors before the game, and he decided there on the spot. No matter how it started, visiting any Auburn game will feature a sea of orange and blue.
