Red Raiders going with scarlet jerseys, scarlet pants

The Texas Tech football team is about to have a lot more red in their Red Raider get-ups, as the team is planning to wear scarlet jerseys and scarlet pants in at least a few home games this season. Tech has gone with mostly black/red schemes since the 70s, but the red/red look will hearken back to the Red Raider days of Danny Hardaway & Joe Matulich.

No photos yet, so we'll give Tech the benefit of the doubt that players won't look like Santa Claus. But, decked on in all scarlet, I suspect that -- frankly -- the players won't give a damn.

    I can't wait till they play Iowa State. Red on red on red on red.

    IMO single color uniforms make them look like high school teams

    As an alum and diehard fan of Texas Tech, I must say that I don't think the red on red is a good idea. Bill is right, they will look like a high school team, also Iowa State has had that red on red look for quite awhile. I liked the uniforms from the past two seasons, I even bought a jersey last year. I guess they thought they looked too similar to Utah, but now Utah is changing their uni's. I wish they would at least keep the black pants. After all, our school colors are red AND black.

    I think the Red on Red looks absolutely stupid. I have never seen another college team change their uniforms as much as Tech. Red on Black at home, White on black away. Keep some freakin tradition.

    I personally prefer the black on black, I think it's more intimidating. I have to admit I hate the red on red, makes them look like tarts! On the other hand as long as they win, they could wear anything they want!
