They told fans to wear white for Northern Colorado so almost all of us figured we'd be wearing a combo with white in it somewhere. We were wrong. Props to @mdelpizzo_1 for calling it.
GBG we will be traditional and everyone is over thinking this.
I still say an attempted whiteout when the team wasn't wearing white made no sense. Why even attempt to do anything like that when you know the stadium isn't going to be full? Anyway, on to this week!

They want us to stripe the stadium silver and black. I think this is likely to fail. They should just keep it simple and call for a blackout.


Calling for silver and black striping would seem to indicate that we're probably wearing some combination of silver and black (S-B-S, B-S-B, S-B-B, B-B-S, B-S-S or S-S-B) but who the hell knows. I'd be fine with any of the first three and I'll guess S-B-S.

Here is S-B-S.

Here is B-S-B.

We've never worn S-B-B, B-B-S, B-S-S or S-S-B but here are the mockups of those I made two years ago.

The gimmicks are weird. We have the color every other team and fan in the country want.
Black. We should just wear black.
Goddamnit this. We don't need to stripe the stadium and sure as hell don't need to tell people to wear white. Black that stadium out every ****ing game day. Sprinkle in some gold here and there. Maybe half the people attending games pay attention to these stupid gimmick requests anyways.
 
iirc the student section is general admission so you wouldn't know where you might end up sitting ahead of time. They have to stick with a single color there. The stripes never work real well anyway.
Back in the day 117, 116, & 115 were assigned, only the endzone was GA, but we had real tickets then. If they really wanted it to work they would have to put out some free T-shirts on the seats in the appropriate color.
 
I probably knew this, but didn't really pay much attention - but having Ralphie outlined in gold on the silver helmet (all helmets), then no gold on the silver jersey, but then back to having some gold on the CU on the silver pants (all pants) = yuck.
 
BSB. I'll be wearing black long johns, jeans with a black long sleeved T shirt, gray hoody, black parka, black ski gloves, black beanie, black stadium seat and black blanket. :D
