Why use the color RED.

It's been well established since the 1950's "Better Dead than Red"

Probably has nothing to do with Marquette or Shaka Smart.

You could say it’s paying homage to PBR!

Boomshakalaka may have roots in the 1969 song “I Want to Take You Higher” by Sly and the Family Stone. The song includes the funky and sexy nonsense vocables boom-laka-laka-laka.  The 1981 military comedy film Stripes includes a scene where Bill Murray’s character, John Winger, trains soldiers in song and dance rather than drills. The soldiers dance while chanting boomshakalaka, a possible reference to popular versions of “I Want to Take You Higher.”

Also, made famous in NBA Jam. Seems like it drew inspiration from that song.

No.  As I stated in the original post, I am not.
