===Maroon and gold=== [[Gold]] is the oldest color associated with Arizona State University and dates back to 1896 when the school was named the Tempe Normal School.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://alumni.asu.edu/remember/traditions |title=Sun Devil Traditions | ASU Alumni Association |publisher=Alumni.asu.edu |date=April 26, 2014 |access-date=July 8, 2014 |archive-date=August 23, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140823002520/https://alumni.asu.edu/remember/traditions |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[Maroon]] and [[white]] were later added to the color scheme in 1898. Gold signifies the "golden promise" of ASU. The promise includes every student receiving a valuable educational experience. Gold also signifies the sunshine Arizona is famous for; including the power of the sun and its influence on the climate and the economy. The first uniforms worn by athletes associated with the university were black and white when the "Normals" were the name of the athletic teams. The student section, known as The Inferno, wears gold on game days.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://eoss.asu.edu/getinvolved/traditions|title=ASU Dean of Students: Traditions|publisher=Arizona State University|access-date=July 2, 2018|archive-date=July 2, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180702233454/https://eoss.asu.edu/getinvolved/traditions|url-status=live}}</ref> Maroon signifies sacrifice and bravery while white represents the balance of negativity and positivity. As it is in the city of [[Tempe, Arizona]], the school's colors adorn the neighboring buildings during big game days and festive events.<ref>"Emotional and Psychological Meaning of Colours."
