The most trite message board question, EVER!

[NYKnightFan]

I am a brand new fan of Rutgers. Not an alum nor even a resident of New Jersay. Not entirely trite so far, but here it comes.....

My first Rutgers apparel purchase. Is red a no brainer or is black acceptable? I have seen mostly scarlet, but I have seen some Nike gear with a much darker red.

Which way to go for my first Rutgers cloth purchase?

Welcome aboard! I would go with scarlet red with white letters first. Most of the apparel is scarlet and white because scarlet is the official color. Black with scarlet letters is fine, but for your first shirt---go scarlet with white letters.

Go with whatever best suits your individual taste. If you manage to stay on the bandwagon your Rutgers wardrobe will naturally expand to include most variations.

Where are you from and why are you a fan?

I am from New York. Upstate a bit, just over the border from Vernon, NJ. I saw Coach Ash speak at a football clinic and he blew me away! I never really had a big time football school allegiance but after seeing him speak figured it was time. I am actually going to see Coach Ash speak at Temple next weekend and will be going to the Scarlet-White game on April 23.

Scarlet is the norm, black is acceptable....but as long it has the "Block R" you're good.

Welcome to the family. Red is preferred but Black is certainly acceptable.

Welcome, OP! I completely agree with 82. I personally don't like bright red for a shirt or hat, so prefer to get black or gray stuff with red block R, accents, etc.

Cool to hear that Coach Ash attracted a new fan.
