They've since changed that to "cordovan" or "mahogany".  Apparently "oxblood" was too un-PC.  :)

You beat me too it Tom!

 

:)

 

They do actually call some "burgundy."

 

Oh... My kid made his First Communion this year... Man is it hard to find a "penny" loafer in that small of a size... Let alone color. I was all confused because I never heard it called "burgundy" before... I had to get in a long discussion over the cell phone with my wife on what the hell they were doing with names now... She had sent me on a mission (I was in the Quad Cities for work at the time) to find the "elusive" small kids penny in "cordovan" (that color I knew)...

 

:(:(

 

Shoe styles (not just colors) are really crazy these days!

In South Buffalo, that color would be called Richard's Wild Irish Rose. ;)

 

In English the color "Burgundy" (as in "the Redskins play in Burgundy and Gold") uses the english word for the french region Bourgogne. One of the best regions for wine.

In French the color burgundy is "Bordeaux", a word directly linked to a french wine region but an other one!

As i prefer Bourgogne compared to Bordeaux in wines, i'm happy the english language shares my wine tastes!

I was just wondering what is the name of that color in other languages... Do the spaniards say "Rioja" or "Burdeos", the Italian "Chianti"?!!
