You can't have a new tradition. That's a Colorado concept.
The reason why I bring this up is that we have started what the NU administration has called new traditions. One of them began Saturday at the spring game.
You can't have new traditions. You start doing something and, a number of years later, assuming that you have kept that act up in the same fashion, someone says "oh, that tradition dates back to....whenever.
Colorado used to do the new tradition crud all the time back in the late 1980s. One of their new traditions was the Big Red rivalry. They had others, too many to mention actually. And it was so lame because none of those were backed by history, and, were therefor not traditions. The practice of every player touching the lucky horse shoe when leaving the locker room, or the blackshirts, now, those are traditions based on history.
