Blackout?

I think the white out at PSU is pretty awesome.  Something here would be great if EVERYONE were to do it.

Yes, but until you get it sponsored by the school I don't think it'll ever happen.

Yup...although I am sure there would be some type of deal, etc etc with a shirt company...the simple numbers point to a half a (+  or -) million cost.

 

85, 458 capacity X (rough guess) $7 per shirt= $598k+

Pretty sure the athletic department can find that sort of pocket change in the cushions of their couches.

Very true

I've read that Penn State sets their white out game before the season starts and it's printed on the tickets.  Gives people plenty of time to prepare   That is the way to do it.

 

Looking forward to the alt unis but not sure about a black out for a day game.

I really think no matter how much notice you provide or even provide the shirt to the fan, we have enough curmudgeons that would refuse to participate where we could not pull it off...sad

If Iowa can Alternate black and yellow, we can coordinate a blackout.  Once every other year at home, against a yearly opponent, we wear black and the team wesrs a black alternste.  That's the tradition I want.

 

But yes, it absolutely has to be university supported.

Penn State doesn’t hand out white tees, that’s a staple to their fan gear. The white pom poms are handed out though.

Mississippi State literally has a fan guide telling them what to wear to the game.

I believe Oregon does the same thing.

I don't go to many Husker games, but when I do, I don't need a stinking guide to what to wear.  I'm wearing RED.

How about RED out - we practically do that every game and it would save all of us $$s 

 

But to your point - a black out would be cool.

Just wear black you pansies.
