Old gold

Politics

• Old gold is used as a political color by Mebyon Kernow, a Cornish nationalist party. The color is derived from Cornish kilts and tartans.

  Sports

• Old gold is used for some NFL teams: the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Rams, and the San Francisco 49ers. The reason for its use by the Saints is that New Orleans is an old city with the heritage and architecture of regal Europe. The reason for its use by the 49ers is the close identification of San Francisco with the California Gold Rush of 1849.
