... new black uniforms have the school name spelled correctly???
They should have kept their original moniker, the "Queensmen"...

Scarlet is red and red is the color of flames, so
The New Jersey Flaming Queens?
That's the french spelling.
Yes, we will have the RUTGERS Uniforms looking CLEAN and ready to smash Uconn..hey ,how do you spell NCAA Probation-UCONN?
Here's a better look at new Nike Blackout Uni's
#1, your hyped up (and ugly) uniforms are specifically for your game against us (two-time Big East champions). That is a compliment. #2, when was the last time Rutgers won a national championship in anything?
Well we can "claim" an NC in 1976 (11-0), 1961 (9-0), 1869 (co-NC with Princeton) and that's for FB...
We have an NC in wrestling, fencing, cheerleading and an NC in WBB (AIAW National Championship: 1982)... We've also been on the losing side of NCAAA NC games at least twice recently (WBB in 2007 and Men's soccer in 1991)...

*Also keep in mind that until the late 1970s Rutgers declined ALL bowl invitations (of which there were numerous) since it was felt bowl games were inconsistent with the academic mission of the university... BTW in the 1970s we had 8 winning seasons in FB including 1 undefeated season...
For further proof of this Please review the following:

The man wants to think he's blitzing on a message board.Can someone limit Blitz to 2 paragraphs consisting of 3 sentences each?
Well we can "claim" an NC in 1976 (11-0), 1961 (9-0), 1869 (co-NC with Princeton) and that's for FB...

L O L. Had no idea Rutgers fans would try THAT hard to feel relevant! We have an undefeated season in 1924, when we went 6-0-2. Let's claim a national championship!undefeated seasons: 1876(1-0)
Speaking of game shows... the first ever winner on who wants to be a millionaire was a Rutgers grad as was one of the Jeopardy winners...Blitz, you left out the time a Rutgers grad won like, 2000 bucks on Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?
