Yes, UC Berkeley's campus tours (led by undergrads) still say that the blue in Cal blue/gold is deliberately a few shades off from Yale blue. Haven't overheard any of the tour guides give both pronunciations of the name, though; I learned of it from a professor who's a linguist, though the class I took from her there, years ago, was not formally in linguistics.
