USA's "Official" Color Scheme???

So, I stumbled upon this wikipedia page listing the national colors used for race cars throughout history. I had never really known this existed, but I do remember several of these colors being used in conjunction with these countries.

Apparently the USA's "official" color scheme for racing is white body with blue stripes. This is obviously not a color combination you can get for the Camaro from the factory, but I would really like to see blue stripes painted on a white Camaro.

Can someone do a photoshop?

Chevy NEEDS to offer blue rally stripes as on option for white.

I mean dont get me wrong i think that car looks great but to me when I think of blue and white I automatically picture shelby and the mustang. To me black with white racing stripes or hugger orange are the epitome of American muscle. Henry Ford said it best with you can have any color you can as long as its black. But hey the camaro looks great in any color, except maybe pale violet that is haha.

I think the reason is that Ford actually had more of a presence in the types of races these colors applied to, especially with the GT40 winning Le Mans from 1966-1969. However, ironically, I don't think Ford ever used blue on white on any of its Le Mans winners.

Either way, it is probably a testament to the Le Mans wins. Ford no longer competes at Le Mans, and I doubt Shelby does...someone correct me if I'm wrong.

However, Corvette does! So, we deserve them

Also, that Camaro looks great!
