Red Turf, Blue Balls, Pink Balls And Other Disturbing Sports Color Choices

 

Okay, it's not exactly a trend yet but now there are two teams with freaky-deeky red turf football fields.

First out of the gate with the fire red gridiron scheme was FCS Champs Eastern Washington (they beat Delaware 20-19 in a squeaker to secure the title).  

Inexplicably they didn't rename their teams the Bloody Eagles.
