Black is one of our colors now too! It's not a main color like UGA's but it is on our away jersey, our home bball jersey, away bball jersey, baseball unis etc. I noticed one of you that is against the idea has a pic of C-Lo at Ohio State as your avatar. Take a close looke at all of the colors on his uniform. THERE'S BLACK ON IT!!
Most of the people on here aren't saying do it for every game, but just once to spice things up. You people that are saying go back to the 60-80s and look at our uni's. Do you want us to break out the Wishbone/wing T/leather helmets and start playing like that too? Are you all the same grumpy old people that sit there every saturday in your seat, refusing to cheer, and blaming Fulmer for every dropped pass, and overthrown ball? Accept it that Nike/Adidas have changed the appearance of football teams and they are going to promote anything that will get more of their product out there.
I'm suprised this hasn't already been done by the school esp. with the growing trend of "white/black/blue outs". Don't know if you picked up on the number of black UGA jersey's that were being worn by fans. That's alot of profit they made in one week just from those jerseys alone. It also provides a different atmosphere and maybe just maybe it would get some of the people in the stadium to actually get in to the game for once. Regardless of how they looked, UGA was rockin' Saturday; if it takes black jerseys and a "black out" to get Neyland rockin' like that again I'm all for it.
fwiw a "white out" was tried 2 years ago for one of the home games and was tremendously UNsuccessful. This was b/c it was just the students trying to get the word out. If the coaching staff annouced it during the week(see UGA last week) and the team got behind it with some kind of uniform it would work.
