Standard School Colors
The most authentic and traditional option for a West Ranch student is a jacket that incorporates navy blue (usually the wool body) and gold (often the leather or vinyl sleeves, and/or the trim/striping).
- Significance: This color combination is the most popular choice as it directly represents school pride and allegiance to the official West Ranch "Wildcats" identity. It is the standard color scheme and instantly recognizable as the school's official jacket.
Customization Options
While the school colors are standard, many jacket suppliers offer extensive customization, allowing buyers to choose from various material and color options for different parts of the jacket (body, sleeves, snaps, trim, etc.).
- Significance: A buyer might opt for a different color combination (e.g., all black with gold accents, or a grey body with navy sleeves) for personal preference or a unique fashion statement. However, these non-standard options will not have the same immediate official recognition as the traditional navy and gold jacket.
The Key Difference for a Buyer
The main difference for a buyer when choosing a color is the level of official representation versus personal preference:
- Choosing the official navy blue and gold signifies a direct and traditional display of school pride and adherence to school tradition.
- Choosing alternative colors allows for greater personalization and fashion versatility but may deviate from the classic, traditional look associated with the school's athletic and academic achievements.
In short, the traditional jacket is navy blue and gold, and this is the recommended choice for a classic, meaningful representation of being a West Ranch Wildcat.
