Jets try to start their own "Blackshirts Tradition"

[icedavis]

I am familiar with how the Husker Blackshirts came about. Hell, if you hang around here and don't know I suspect the woodshed would be ablaze with all the flaming going on in your name. however, are there a lot of other teams that replicate this? I am sure we are all familiar with the common practice of different colored jerseys for different purposes (O, D, QBs, injured, etc) but more along the lines of reward-based? Looks like the Jets are adding their own form of reward based black practice jersey wearing.

i saw a deal in either miami or at florida on espn where they have a system that changes on a daily basis.3 levels of jerseys i think it was florida and it was yellow green and blue. people start with yellow and move up. if they had a bad performance then they could be moved down. but it gave many kids motivation to not be embarrassed by having one of those bottom of the barrel jerseys

UCLA tried to use Gold jerseys like we use the Blackshirts a few years ago.

 

Don't think they still do though with the coaching change.

I didn't think of that but I saw the same thing. If i remember right it was Miami. It was during Jacori Harris' last season. They do a whole series around the team similar to the Hard Knocks program. I forget what its called and I can't find it in youtube at the moment.

Urban Meyer makes players who are practicing "lazy" wear a different colored jersey untill they prove otherwise. The color use to be purple untill a gay rights group got upset about it and made them change it.

Didn't Mizzou try this a few years ago. With the black shirts I mean.
