Which yellow thread?

I only see yellow Gudebrod threads in Lemon Yellow and Goldenrod. I assume the Goldenrod would be better suited for a "Maize and Blue" Michigan theme? Thanks.

The Goldenrod is a more subtle yellow. The Lemon Yellow is the really bright stuff.

Try pulling up the teams web site
I then pull up a thread color chart and minimize it Fit it over the site and match the colors
Or you can flip back and forth to check ??

I just finished several "wolverine" rods. I'm at work right now (at the University of Michigan) but when I get home I can double check the colors if you what. I think the lemon yellow was the one the blue was a prowrap I think regal blue but don't hold me to it right now.
these are the official colors as per the University guide

I thought Mud Hole had put together thread pack for all college teams. But i looked and they only have the more popular teams from the SEC...... My motto has always been Roll Tide!! This year it seems like they are rolling on a flat but I guess i will take one point wins over one point losses any day. :-)

Well Gabe, even though The Maize and Blue cuts my paycheck I'm a Spartan fan. GO Green,Go White(plus they are easier colors to match)

LOL I have an employee that use to be Spartie I guess that's how you say it. The mascot for Spartans. I was wondering if that comment would get folks going. You know the more known SEC teams.... I'm for Alabama and whoever is playing against auburn. It's all in good fun.

Well duh - I've lived in Saline (just south of Ann Arbor) for the past 35 years. Since I've always seen their school in the same colors as Michigan - yellow pants and helmets, dark blue jerseys - I thought their colors were the same. Come to find out that they're actually blue and gold. Since I WILL NOT be building anything that resembles Notre Dame, it will be a Michigan theme for sure . . .

I used lemon yellow. The golden rod is a tad too orange
