WhiteOut on September 4th

[Felozano]

FYI:  Just had to scramble to find white shirts for the family.  The adults were fine.  Our three boys grow like weeds.  See you guys next Saturday!  GMG!

Amazing.  A team called Mean Green wants to have a “white out.”

We must keep up with the Joneses, greenjoe.

Early season game.  White out is the way to go.

that was my issue as well. they are only for pick up at that store on campus between 8-4 Monday Through Friday. Since i work 8-4:30 I would have no chance to pick it up.

Why have we only done "whiteouts" at Apogee? I know there were like half-assed attempts at blackouts in 2018 and 17 but if you're going to do a color scheme for fans why not make it green or black or at least mix it up? Meh. We did this already.

Gagree....its lame. I imagine we'll wear the worms again though which is nice.

Typically, college home teams wear a colored jersey.  The visiting team will usually wear white.  So we’re going to show up appearing to support the “white” team.  From across the stadium or on TV no one can read what’s on your white shirt.

ANY SHADE OF GREEN IS GREEN.

So you think instead of "singing Glory to the Green, singing Glory to the White" we should be

"singing Glory to the Green, singing Glory to the" Green?

That doesn't rhyme with "right".

Doesn’t rhyme but it certainly gets the point across doesn’t it.  Good obversation.

I would feel comfortable with the assumption that we will wear white since this is a white out.  

You all are missing a great benefit.  Usually, games this time of the year are extremely warm.  Make the visiting team wear dark colors, stand in the sun, etc.

Penn State doesn't have an issue with a "white out" home game...

[UNTLifer]

As much as I hate to admit it, the Aggies do these special games better than anybody else.

I As pointed out above, other home teams have demonstrated white outs before.

I also think we tried green-outs years ago at Fouts, and we had a number of fans vocal about how awful it is, because you can clearly see all the different shades of green from across different eras.  Demonstrates how bad we were at official colors/consistency from one AD or team to the next.

"Any shade of green is green" is not true.

TX heat, other home stadiums wear white, and we can be consistent with the color.  Seems to make sense.

Either the worms or the all-white throwbacks from the HBU game. I am a huge fan of either. The uniform is not my gripe - I absolutely adore our variety of great uniforms. Just the measly attempts at crowd color coordination.

[greenjoe]

I’ll be there.  I’ll be easy to find.  I’ll be wearing green.

If it makes you feel better I’m sure our fan base will follow direction about as well as it always does.

People whine about using black… whine about wearing white… guess we should just be green from head to toe. Plain green helmet, green jersey with green numbers, green pants

I assume we will wear white as well like we did last year vs HBU
