Think back on how color has marked memorable times in our lives. Color indicators, like gender, are learned early in life and they mark milestones and ceremonies in a person’s lifetime. At birth, gender is color coded as pink for girls or blue for boys. A christening in a church is marked by a crisp white gown or a white or off-white gown for a bride. In both instances, white signifies a new phase of life. Color can indicate emotion, energy, and personality.
>For the late sports reporter, Craig Sager, color marked periods of his career and personality. Sager’s tailor indicated, “Every suit and pair of shoes has a tie to the home team, host city, and time of the year. Many [of his suits] are custom made at shops like Rex in Miami or A. Taghi in Houston.” Sager lived a colorful life, literally.His colorful wardrobe epitomized his unique sense of style, vibrant personality, and love for the game of basketball. Sager’s style seemed to lighten a tough game by bringing a smile to a player in a post game interview coupled with Sager’s colorful fashion sense. Fan’s of Sager’s sense of style were reflected in a big way while the energetic reporter battled cancer. The #SagerStrong hashtag was created for Sager during chemotherapy. Fans took the #SagerStrong tag a step further wearing colorful eye-catching outfits to NBA games in Sager’s honor. Color punctuated the life of Sager.
