Anyone know whether the color name in question was unique to Press or more common at the time?  Seems like an odd marketing ploy.

Thanks for the link.  Clears that up.  Naughty English.  Next time I'm over, I shall march straight into Cordings and request cords in that color.  Probably get me deported and the store tied up in the Race Relations Board for years.

EDIT:  Aside from the Niger Brown dodge mentioned in the other thread, what is this color now called?  Can one get around the whole nasty connotation by requesting trousers-of-color?

I find it humorous that this board loves to banter about the basest sexual deviancies and run down conservatives, Christians and even Jesus Christ himself but convulses with offense at the use of the word nucca nearly 70 years ago.  Fuck is fine to type, but I guess in PC dogma the word n*gger needs to be knowingly referenced but remain untyped, much like the word G*d for the orthodox jews.  (If you doubt me, search on posts containing "Jesus" and "fuck" you'll get 6 and 10 pages.)

Anyway, Press clearly wasn't targeting us Confederates as any good racialist much prefers his recreation slacks in Injun-Red or High-Yellow.
