A simple, "I don't know" would have sufficed.

Supposed to be red. They gave us the wrong color jersey. It stuck.

I'm pretty sure we were red and white and the uniforms came in maroon one year and we kept it because there were too many red schools and not many maroon schools.

We were originally red and white. By mistake one time long ago, we were sent maroon in a shipment instead of red.

We kept it because it was different and there was a lot of other schools with red at that time.

Honestly, I don't know. But I have also heard the same red jersey story. Shipped wrong color, maroon, it stuck.

However, there I some confusion on that story because of the date of the game that that supposedly happened at and the date of the song Spirit of Aggieland.

Frankly, I think the Stikkas had something to do with it.

Really? Be honest. Did you really think you were going to get a full page of thoughtful responses or polite "I don't knows"?

Really?

Mix up some dirt and blood and that's what you get. We were all white but BTHO tu so bad the blood from their faces mixed with the dirt and stained the uniforms maroon. Had to keep it.

Maroon is a great color. Wish we used the maroon pants and jersey combo more often.

First of all, stay out of my business. It's getting pretty scary how you stock me.

Second, Raptor knows I was giving him a hard time.

Third, that is some funny **** coming from you. How many usernames have you had now? I count at least 5. Who needs to quit posting.

Go away.

Do they drink Big Red in defiance of New Army's switch from red to maroon?

Not related to the origin, but I stumbled across this and found it interesting. Apparently there is an official "Aggie Maroon" color defined in both CMYK and RGB, complete with support/accent colors:
