"The predominant colors of We Are Crimson are crimson and white, with accents of black and gray. The 13 lines represent each of the colleges that comprise The University of Alabama. The innermost white square, located in the center of the design, symbolizes Denny Chimes, and the entire central plaid represents the Quad — the heart of the campus. The four corners of the center plaid reflect our past and four original buildings that still stand on the UA campus," said Jones. CHES oversees the use of We Are Crimson, with all proceeds from sales of the tartan funding scholarships within the college. This press release was produced by the University of Alabama.
