We could see G-B-B for Utah, since they're our "rival", and that's what we did for some of the Nebraska games at the end of the year.

One has to wonder if they decided to switch the blackout uniform to the Utah game. More than likely all the marbles will be on the line. It's much more in line with what we've seen in the past.

I think it has A LOT to do with it being on national TV.
Have to admit that GBG looks awesome...under the lights on a thursday night? Great choice overall.

no it doesn't
I think GBB looks even better at night.
This is the top notch analysis I have come to expect! Seriously thanks for figuring that out so I don't have to.
Bobo is not thrilled.
I have a prediction. They have the all blacks in the locker room. Team warms up in the traditional then comes out behind ralphie in the all black.
Lot more difficult to change out the pads/pants then it is the helmet.
Or they just come out in all black.
Wait...I said BBB on the first page. It was met with some ridicule.
Well they announced that they are wearing G/B/G so still ridicule.
Per Gillam's tweet, it sounds like the players DO NOT choose the uniforms. Any idea if its the AD or the coaches?
You're right, it always works, except when it doesn't.
Odd. Last year it was the team captains.

Love the GBG. GBB is better kept for UU, when, in theory, the stakes will be mighty high.
I can't help but notice sometimes, though, that the gold in our helmets doesn't seem to match the gold in the pants.

This is pure speculation, but I think it is a combination of players and RG. Remember when RG wanted the traditional for the CSU game? I think he picked the "traditional" games and the rest were up to the team. I think this is overstepping for RG. He did this twice last year too.
If it were up to the players 100%, I don't think we would be seeing G-B-G multiple times. They are largely from out of state and might not have the same appreciation for tradition that us old timers have. (I'm in my 40s. An old timer compared to the players.) We saw way too much of the white helmets last year. I'm fine with letting the players pick with a few caveats. G-B-G must be worn two or three times and G-W-B must be worn at least once. Gold helmets must be worn in at least half the games. It would seem that they were given restrictions along those lines this year.

If this is true, I don't think it's really overstepping. He is (re)building a brand and while the new uni combinations are great, he wants to make sure CU has a true, consistent on-field look that is not gimmicky. Year one with the new ones was cool to show them off in a bunch of different combos but going forward, the crazy combos should be the exception not the rule, IMO.
They are different materials. Colors won't match exactly.

Maybe I'm too young but I wouldn't mind seeing this combo.... no? Just once?
Ban?
Unacceptable.
