School Colors

History & Tradition - Traditions

  Oklahoma's official school colors are crimson and cream. White was often used instead of Cream because of the availability of white garments compared to cream in the early days of the football program and now personal preference of the coaches and players. The colors were picked by May Overstreet, a female faculty member, possibly the universities first, in 1895. After her decision, the colors were enthusiastically approved by the student body.
