Love the initiative!!!
if any insiders know people who can put this out from UT sports side, then the media will jump on it and help promote it.
I think this is awesome and would work!
Kudos OP

Other schools are used to using the interwebs to get information out to their fanbase. Oregon's site tells you what unis the team wears and what color(s) the fans are supposed to wear. I just don't see this fan base capable of pulling this off.

You've got Junior from Wartburg that has worn his lucky shirt to every game since 1983 and he ain't changin' for nuttin'!

True, but i definitely think its worth a shot.
Wartburg junior can wear the lucky shirt under his recommended attire!

provide poster boards either orange or white to each section for a easy checkerboard photo op.

 

[Majorvol23]

dream big or gtfo

if a local news outlet picks this up too, it could work

 

[Orangedogsrule]

You don't need 100% participation. Maybe 40-50% would do it. Half will already be wearing orange or white shirts. It's like pixels on a tv. You will still be able to see the checkerboard

This is true. It works because of optical dithering. It's how a color printer prints only red, blue, green, or cyan and with a little distance for the dithering to occur, the eye sees a full color image. Would absolutely love to see this done when a blood drive is going on also. Hey, give blood, get a free t-shirt for whatever color section your ticket says. There would be a lot more participation.

lol Here we go again

 

[Orangedogsrule]

Yeah considering most of season ticket holders are blue hairs that can't even use a computer.

Age discriminator! It was your parents and grandparents who invented and deciminated computers in the first place.

Sides, yer just a little spring chicken what don't know nuthin!

 

[dovervolz]

For those that can't make it to the game, play it safe and just wear orange.

 

[GAVol]

This seems like something a chick would organize. I'll bet y'all are the same people that constantly try to start the wave.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Blue hairs with money make the world go round.

But they can't order a matching t-shirt on internet because they can't use PayPal. Haha

For those that can't make it to the game, play it safe and just wear orange.

And I'll have a beer breakfast here in Florida, so whatever you guys end up doing, it will look like checkerboards to me.

Lol not my parents. Poor folks from Greene county on dad's side and my mom's side a barber from Detroit. My parents are 79 & 77. I bought them new cell phones and lol is all I can say. Technology is overwhelming for them.

Why did you have to bring up the wave? Don't get me started.

 

[Sikerth]

I'm sharing this on social media even though I'm fairly certain it will flop.

Whoever organized this needs to start a Facebook group for it as well. I know we can't advertise groups on here, but it'd be a good place to spread the word.

 

[UTC Vol Fan]

My section says white. We just need Butch to come out and tell everyone to go to checkerneyland.com. I will 100% wear white if that happens.

 

[ATC_VOL]

I always wear Orange. So I'll be in Orange even though my section says white, unless CBJ tells me otherwise.

 

[DD4ME]

I like to start them when we are losing and are on offense.

 

[gordonr24]

I would hate to be a white section. I don't have much white in my Big Orange wardrobe. Although I do have a black coaches polo and a black visor

 

[ntxVOL]

LOL, it's really not that hard, I mean if Aggies can do it anyone can.

 

[Brojan]

I'm in....and I'm to wear White!

 

[Orangedogsrule]

The guys running Checkerneyland.com need to send an e-mail to each of NBC, CBS, FOX, local tv & radio stations in Knoxville, Chattanooga, Tri Cities, Nashville. Also to the Knoxville News Sentinel, and all regional print papers with a short paragraph and an HD version of the checkered Neyland picture they can broadcast during sports news or print in the paper. e.g. cover the East and Middle Tennessee sports media with the announcement.

 

[jerrync]

all they have to do is give everyone a 12x12 card with white on one side and orange on the other.

Put the color card in each seat. (for the color they want you to hold up) :clapping:

 

[AmoebaVol]

Blue hairs without Internet could just take off their orange polo and sport the t-shirt if they're in the white section.

 

[cbbowlingmd]

Blue hairs with money make the world go round.

So do young guys with money.

Well the shirt ain't been working the last several years, so he ought to change it up anyhow.
