The lowest year after the change was still a 46% improvement over the last year of royal blue merchandise. Sorry. The numbers don't lie. Navy sells much, much better than royal. Overall, since the change, sales are up 58% over the sales from the last 10 years of our royal days.
I'm guessing Tom would thank you for your passion, tell you the school is happy with the navy blue over royal blue merchandise sales, and send you a Royal blue wristband for your troubles.
