In the third quarter of Washington's playoff game against Tampa Bay, NBC displayed a blunderous graphic on its telecast that would make Jim Zorn blush.
Ah yes, a catastrophic nod to Washington's famed "maroon" and gold color scheme, which reminds of when Zorn introduced himself to the fanbase in 2008 by erroneously referencing the organization's "maroon and black" scheme.
Only, somehow, this was far worse. Because it also included a half-baked reference to pop rock band Maroon 5 which, no.
NBC was, appropriately, roundly mocked for the graphic on Twitter.
Here I was thinking Maroon 4 was trending because @maroon5 lost a band member... I'll see myself out. pic.twitter.com/OrH8ayV3Fc

The correct answer, for the uninitiated: Washington wears burgundy and gold.
