The Rutgers Scarlet Knights' uniforms did not feature a lot of scarlet under their former bad coach, Kyle Flood. It's a new era in Piscataway, however, and Chris Ash's men will have a new look in 2016.
Rutgers unveiled new athletic uniforms Tuesday. They're simple and safe, which thankfully means Rutgers avoided another P.R. disaster.
Here's a look:

Nike also released this infographic, which gives a history lesson on the Scarlet Knight nickname as well as Rutgers' new secondary logo:

Left unexplained: Why Rutgers chose to be the scarlet knights when the red knights were the "elite mercenary company" that struck fear into the hearts of men.
