Scarlett and Gold, not Maroon and Gold. A lot of fans or parents get that wrong. Scarlett is more of a red color, while Maroon is more closer to a purple color. If you want authentic for yourself or your child, than look into getting this tie, some iron on patches, a plain light grey sweater, and a plain white button up white shirt. It'll be cheaper and re-usable than any costume bought at a store.
