Inaccurate Ad Of The Week

So kudos to the folks at M&M's who came up with a really cool idea by dressing up Larry Bird and Magic Johnson as M&M's. The two were obviously chosen because it's the 30th anniversary of their matchup in the NCAA Championship game in 1979.

Out of all the people who probably looked at this, can you believe that the folks at M&M's put Bird in green and Johnson in yellow? Yeah, we know Bird played his entire career with the Celtics and Magic played his entire career with the Lakers.
But since they picked the two, shouldn't Bird be in Indiana State blue and Magic in Michigan State green?
