Well, they do use blue as an accent color in their uniforms, don't they? UMass had blue striping on their helmet in 2011. And had a light blue shade from 1970-1984. They've used Red, black, and grey from 2012-Current.Edit: the blue now appears to have stuck around a little longer than just 2011. As to add another twist, I see pictures (but don't know how to post them) of the white helmet (with red and blue striping), but has a maroon (not the red from the helmet stripe) jersey with black siding!
