## Caption

Ever wonder how school colors became a symbol of college pride?
 
Scarlet was not Rutgers’ first choice. But it became one of the first official school colors in the United States. That bold pick helped spark a tradition as colleges everywhere began choosing shades to represent pride, identity, and history.
 
Sometimes the smallest decisions leave the biggest mark.
