Ole Miss “checkerboard” vs KY

Auburn did the same. Of course ours looks best on tv, it pops. I know we swiped it from OU, but we improved it and made it better than theirs.

Please checker Vandy! Fans coloring their home stadiums is becoming the norm. Coloring an opponents stadium is ballsy and definitely sends a message to rest of the college football world that Volnation is the BEST fan base in the country!

Before everyone starts saying “but it’s Vandy”. It’s not about the football teams, it’s about the fans and their support for the their team. Recruits will see it and know that we have their backs.

Here's the thing. Tennessee wasn't the first to do a pattern or color swatch in the stands, but the fanbase does it very well and it's honestly remarkable how excellently it's executed given that the effort is entirely organic and doesn't involve anything more than a week's lead time via word of mouth. It also helps that the pattern chosen matches the school's iconic end zones, so it just works thematically.

Ole Miss is striping the stands of Vaught because... well, I don't really know. They don't do it nearly as well as Iowa/Minnesota or the other Big Ten schools (they've been wearing those striped overalls for decades), and as much as Auburn's doesn't work great it at least ties in with tiger stripes. Ole Miss needed to be pushing this from an institution basis from August if they wanted it to work well, which they didn't.

We copied someone else and they copied us. I wonder who started it. Whoever did, it’s genius. I almost think we should just do it every game. Every section has a permanent color. Regardless, when we do it well it looks amazing.

Yeah...other teams attempt to do it, but we are massively incredible at doing it....The way we not only checker, but checker within sections and the checkering is going up the stands as well as across the sections....we just take any form of checking to a different level...

I may be wrong, but IIRC Oklahoma did a horizontal striping by rows around their stadium. It looked good and some Vols came up with the idea of checkerboards rather than stripes.
Someone also posted we had checkered TBA years earlier, can’t remember who posted that. Edit: It was @vavolfan6 .
