...not Scarlet Knights, just Scarlet. 154 years old today!
While the uniforms have featured scarlet, black and white in their make-up, Rutgers has only one official color - scarlet. It was first proposed in the Targum and ratified by almost all the students at daily services in chapel on May 17, 1869 and made official by the school administration in January, 1900. They defined the color scarlet as a mix of 85% blood red and 15% cadmium orange.
And when the newspapers didn't refer to Rutgers, they would refer to them as the Scarlet team..
