UA Colors

UA's original colors were sage green and silver. However, in 1900, student manager Quintas J. Anderson was offered, at an extremely low price, a set of solid blue jerseys trimmed in red. The team needed new jerseys and had very little money, so Anderson accepted the offer. The new jerseys were greeted enthusiastically, and almost immediately red and blue were approved as the new school colors. While many shades of the colors have been used over the years, UA's official hues are cardinal red and navy blue.
