Robert Redd & The University of Virginia - Alchemist of School Colors
By Robert Redd
7/7/2011 2:57:00 PM  
We are proud to introduce the latest addition to our collection of legendary colors, Slate Blue/Autumn Glory, in honor of the University of Virginia!






A Brief History of Robert Redd & The University of Virginia



The fascinating and unpredictable Legend of Robert Redd was in part forged by his time at the
University of Virginia.  Indeed the Legend of Robert Redd began in his early years, yet, was
further bolstered while attending The University before the turn of the century.

It is fitting then; the Legend and the University are brought together in this year, once again.

Like those years after Reconstruction, Charlottesville was, at worst, an environment of open-
mindedness and creativity.  Robert Redd was a Cavalier of course, evident in his zest for
progress, his love of fine ladies, and a most unique sense of humor.

Robert Redd occasionally found himself prey to the beautiful ladies at the University… apparently,
he was quite well thought of.  While attending the university Redd had his hand in many projects
and endeavors.  In fact the REDD Gentlemen’s knit shirts inspired by the Legend of Robert Redd
are superbly designed and fit the frame of any gentleman and even a lady or two…Thus making
him twice, nay thrice as desirable!

The Robert Redd UVA shirts are not only in high demand, but made specifically for lovers of the
University.

Please see our unique and fun color story of the founding of the University of Virginia Colors of
Orange and Blue how Robert Redd allegedly played a part.
