The lack of people in Scarlet here right now is stunning. I just don’t get it.
WEAR SCARLET DAMMIT
- Thread starter AreYouNUTS
- Start date
And while its being discussed someone needs to get ron harper senior a scarlet skullcap!
Pet peeve of mine too. You can get Rutgers shirts for like 10 bucks at Kohls
Here's an idea. Give out RED Scarlet shirts that say Rutgers Basketball like they used to do with RU spring games.
Would help if the team did
I know white at home but wear red on the road and wear red warm ups instead of black.

Not the folks on this board though.until Rutgers gets its marketing right (HAH!)...it won't change. More concerned about gimmicks then getting this part right with fans.
Maybe if they didn’t feed the 100s with free t shirts and instead gave it to the casual/diehards in the 2-3s. We see more red haha.
I wore black tonight ...does that somehow make you more fashion forward?
Who cares what people wear. Be loud and involved. That's way more important than the color of your shirt.

Nah. We should buck the trend and wear red at home, like football. The heck with white at home.
It does not matter what people wear as long as they cheer loud and hard for RU.
Wearing any Rutgers gear is fine. Unless we made sure that EVERY person in the building was wearing red, it really does not matter. Very overblown worrying about that people wear Red.
Best of Luck,

People worrying about what color we wear when we're having the best season in forever! Unbelievable. SMDH!!
Bull, if we all wore red it would help the team win. It’s not like we’re undefeated or anything.... oh, wait a minute, never mind. :Wink:
PS - I’m glad to see red and various RU gear, but I wouldn’t care if people wear yellow as long as we win. What bugs me a bit is people sitting court side in gear from other schools. There were guys wearing Duke and ND shirts in court side seats today.
Ha ha I get it, don’t get me wrong, but when we started, I mean when Greg started, the “wear red to the game” marketing it was phenomenal! They need to go back to that!
Listen, I was in there an hour before the game, Hanging out in the lobby by the ticket office for the most part, and the number of people not wearing RU gear is what got me started. It was stunning. Most of the people in RU gear wore scarlet.
The issue kinda reminds me of the pre-Schiano days... I cannot remember in basketball, when most people wore red.. but in the 80s red was rare enough... the student section was not red.. many people wore college shirts from other colleges even... and I cannot think of a reason red would have become dominant in the 90s.
People did not go to Rutgers because it was a sports school.
IIRC.. the famous run in 88/89.. the Back to the RAC run.. the popular shirt became a gray sweatshirt with a giant red R.
For the PSU-Rutgers championship game.. people were encouraged to wear red.. and look at the results..
ahh.. that had a lot of PSU fans..
how about the home games here.. from a "mix tape" of the following season

@BKIn118 We can do both. Sean Axani probably approves this message, despite not wearing red. ;-)

You have your thoughts which I understand, but I was also there(wearing a red Rutgers sweatshirt) an hour before the game and was with many people down in the hospitality area and only about 1/2 were wearing red that were Rutgers fans. Many wore black RU shirts or sweathsirts. AND those people are pretty much at EVERY game, not every once in a while.
In my opinion, it has no bearing on the game at all. Cheering loud and hard makes much more of a difference.

Greg began the “WEAR RED TO THE GANE” marketing. As the football team slowly got worse the last couple years that started to fade away. Market it again and it will come back.
I remember the first bowl game in Arizona.. for the pep rally Pernetti wore a tanish blazer, blue shirt and yellow tie. *shakes head*.. fashionable?.. yeah.. it worked.. but c'mon man.
He was an announcer, no? He was there... NOT wearing any red.
My question is... Why NOT where red to a SCARLET Knights home game? A: don't own any red shirts. B: trying too hard to be different. C: not aware that's its kinda a thing to show support for your team. D: you've only got one red shirt and its dirty.
None of these are really good reasons. Fans of big time programs know enough to wear the proper colors. Maybe over time ours will figure it out too.
The seton hall game this year proved that people CAN wear red, if they are reminded 50 times on social media and emails. Yes our marketing team can do a better job at this amongst other things but that’s a reflection of the AD ultimately who should be on top of things like that, hopefully Greg brings these kind of details back in football and Hobbs sees and it trickles over to the other sports
What's next Nuts, complaining that the tuba player is taking up too much damn space is in the student section?? SMDH
My Black Block R pull over with Red Block R hat is undefeated this year...can’t change
I dont understand how someone imploring fans to wear red is controversial
Can we not cheer loudly AND wear Red for the good tv look? (Superstitions - which I dont want to mess with!! - aside)
Not hard people...

Too bad Schiano was there in a gray v-neck sweater with the color of a red plaid shirt only peaking out.
As long as I don’t wear the opposing team’s colors I think I am fine. (I did wear a red sweater that wasn’t quite scarlet - closer to maroon.)
Does not impact the game. It would be nice if every person is wearing Red(which does not happen), but really does not matter.. Schiano was there today wearing a gray pullover.
Really is a non-factor. Being loud and it makes a difference in the game, not what color shirt you wear.

The team wears white at home and sometimes wears black on the road. No reason for criticizing great fans for not wearing exactly what you want them to. Just keep packing the RAC!
Nuts,
Did you yell at your dad for not wearing red at the game yesterday? LOL.
Best of Luck,
