I have always had the ideal uniform in mind. One that serves as a tribute to the great teams of Rutgers U.
Red Helmet - white mask - our current white R with black piping (00-18)
(maybe a sole 2" white stripe down the center - 1976)
Jerseys - Imagine Indy Colt jerseys in red and white - similar to the unbeaten 1961 team. (red at home - white on the road) Necks and sleeve ends keep the color of the main jersey. Our current "R" at the base of the Vee Neck.
The numerical font must be a true block style. Classic squared, cut numerals.
Pants - white only - Two thick bold red stripes on the side (unbeaten 1976)
Shoes - white - with white crew socks (had an Army fan say that we had a look of speed with them)
Fans will argue the color Scarlet. Maybe 5% of the world is aware of the bright shade of red.... some think red... some think blood red... some think crimson. When we damn near upset unbeaten, NC Alabama 13-17 in 1980 the reds for each team were almost exactly the same.
I prefer a nice deep blood red.... no one will know any better. lol
Tradition. Did you know that at Notre Dame when you are assigned a number to wear, the player is also given a list of players that once wore that same number. The top of the sheet says "Wear This Number Proudly"
