The Pride of Oklahoma debuted the new red uniform coats in New York City on Thanksgiving Day in the Macy’s® Thanksgiving Day Parade. The previous red coats were retired after Coach’s last season in 2000, and this is the first time in seven years that The Pride has appeared in public all in red. The new coats feature an interlocking “OU” logo on the front in white parquet, with “OKLAHOMA” on the sleeves in white embroidery on a black background with gray piping.

First up was the coverage from CBS, called the “CBS Thanksgiving Day Parade” because NBC has the rights to the name “Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade” and to the performances in Herald Square. The Pride appeared on CBS approximately one hour and 55 minutes after the coverage started, and showed the band playing Fight for OKU in Times Square. Here’s the video from the CBS broadcast—you can hear The Pride behind an interview long before you can see them.
