Detailed historical information about the orange and blue school colors of New Brunswick Theological Seminary is not available at this time, but New Brunswick is a seminary of the Dutch Reformed Church in America, and orange and blue are two historic colors of the Netherlands.
Academic hood lists published by the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume (IBAC) in 1927, 1948, and 1972 described New Brunswick Theological Seminary as having a hood lined blue with an orange chevron. In Academic Heraldry in America (1962), Kevin Sheard listed the seminary’s hood with an identical description.
