I'd like to compile a list of times other incarnations of the TMNT have all worn red bandanas.
Having the Mirage turtles show up in other versions (2003, 2012) do not count. I'm talking about times other versions have shown up with red bandanas, including temporarily.
The only one I can think of, so far, is the IDW TMNT when they had those until they switched to different colors.

I think that's it. I thought I remembered the Turtle tots at the end of the Archies had red but I looked and no.

Did they not? Rings a bell.
There was a "how they got their weapons" issue.
Was there a "how they got their masks" that had them in all red? Must have dreamt it.

It was published in July 1994

Like AquaParade, I vaguely recalled something like that but wasn't sure if I was just misremembering the one where they got their weapons. Thanks a lot!

Huh. I forgot there was a second Turtle Tots one.

They wore all red in two or three episodes of Rise.

And while it's not exactly them all wearing red, the 4Kids depiction of the origin is shown in a filter that makes it look like they're all wearing red.

There is also the comic that you got when you joined the US fan club if you want to count thst as a spectate continuity from Mirage.

Ooh, which comic would that be? :D
I'm surprised it's not used more as "when they were young they all had red bandannas and changed later" to be more "mirage" since they like to do their homages from time to time

Well they appear in black and white so perhaps they are rainbow colored in those mirage turtles as well ;)

Is there anywhere I can go to read the full comic?

I actually liked those "turtle tot" issues. Haven't read them since I was a tot myself, but I have fond memories of them. Pretty sure those single issues have gotten pretty expensive. I believe they had relatively low print runs.

There's also this sticker set from the fan club. I don't know if it counts because it uses Mirage art but has the cartoon logo. I think they were likely just getting the original show's designs/colors ironed out when they produced these items.

Two continuities that were meant to Mirage but were later rendered non-canon by Laird you have the role playing games and the Image series.
Also if you count the non-canon issues of the Mirage series as a separate continuity almost all of those had red bandannas.
