Page "Flag of Maryland" Paragraph 22

* The University of Maryland athletic teams have long used the colors of the state flag.

All four colors from the flag are currently used, with the primary colors being red and white, with black and gold used as accent colors.

The men's basketball team uses gold and the football team uses black as alternate colors.

The Maryland flag is also displayed on the right shoulder of the football uniforms.

At the start of the 2011 football season, the team unveiled a new uniform designed by Baltimore-based sportswear company Under Armour combining both parts of the flag.

Similarly, the men's lacrosse team features designed from the flag on the jersey shoulders.

The end zones of Byrd Stadium are often decorated in a Maryland flag motif, and the state flag is run onto the field during almost all the athletic games.
