Here’s the deal, I just really don’t like orange.  At least I try not to like it.  I am not supposed to like orange, as a Sooner.  (The whole anti-OSU, anti-Texas thing)  However, orange is one of the best color choices for golf course style.  It adds a bright, vibrant color that pops on the fairway.  It is a fantastic accent color, especially paired with electric blue, magenta or maroon.  In fact, the entire color pallet shown in the Puma Golf polos above is one of the best of the Spring 2013 season.  Puma Golf absolutely nails the use of orange.  This is most likely, influenced by the face of their brand, Rickie Fowler’s loyalty to Oklahoma State, yet I have to suck it up and approve.  I even think the houndstooth design, shown top left, is agreeable if paired with white pants or shorts.You cannot go wrong with any of these four options.

Now, you have a great shirt picked out.  Do not ruin it by making a poor selection in a pair of shorts or pants.  Each one of the polos above have enough color and pattern to allow you to stand out as stylish without needing to add more flare.  Simply, match each with pants of a solid color.  Going clockwise from top left, here are color options for each: white, orange, orange/maroon/magenta, and electric blue/orange/maroon/magenta.  Take a look at the examples below.  Both of these plaid Puma Golf shorts are really quite great, but only if worn with a solid color shirt.  The top would look fabulous with a white, orange or maroon polo and the ones on the bottom would pair well with an orange or magenta polo.  None of the four shirts shown here will work with plaid (or any other pattern) pants like the ones shown.

See there, I am an intelligent Sooner, willing to advise reasonably without holding a hateful bias against my rivals and their school colors.  However, truth be told, I still have zero orange in my closet and I refuse to eat orange M&Ms.  BOOMER SOONER.
