Keisha's basketball team, after another year, is deciding on a new uniform again. This year, the seventh-graders will pick the color of the shorts (black, gold, or blue) and the eighth-graders will pick the color of the jersey (black, white, or gold). However, they cannot pick a black jersey this year as it was the color last year.

Express your answer as a common fraction.
