And in the Burrow highlight film, our purple looks super blue at times.

I want to say in the 80's it was a more "purple" purple, close to what he have on this board. Go look at the Hodson highlights.

I wonder if part of the issue is the stadium lights. As I remember, back in the 80's those lights were pretty much yellow instead of white. It gave everything a tint, the grass looked like a yellowish green, etc.
You put pure purple under a yellow light, it looks brown. You put blue under it, it looks ... purple.

Related to white and yellow floodlights... I drove a red box-like car in the 80's. I remember going to Godchaux's down on North, during daylight, and the sun went down while I was shopping. I literally couldn't find my car for 30 minutes, because the parking lot lights were yellow. and that made the car look Texas burnt-orange/brown. And since every car had the same shape, I kept walking past it.
