    Re: White-out?

    It looks good to have the crowd have a unified color, although i'm not sure if it has intimidated the last two opponents. i have a old Troy Davis jersey i have woren since 96' but given the last two years and saturdays i am seriously thinking about changing up the attire this weekend, although i did wear it two years ago to the big game and watched Tate make his big heisman push.

    Two favorite teams, the Cyclones, and whoever is playing the Hawkeyes!

    Anyone see the pic in sports illustrated of the Penn State crowd. That looked so sweet! You could literally count the number of people in the crowd not wearing white becuase nearly everyone was.

    What color to wear to the stadium:

    -default color is cardinal
    -if other team has red as one of their colors, wear gold
    -if other team has both red and yellow as their colors, match the color of our jerseys


    Last week I had an idiot behind me wearing a purple Iowa State shirt
    If you wear yellow against iowa you look like one of them, same goes for red and nebraska.

    All the whining about "we need to focus on the team, it doesn't matter what I wear, I am going to wear whatever I want" is complete BS. We should be unified as a fanbase. It shows school spirit-adds to the overall experience-shows the world and especially the team and recruits how much pride we have as Cyclones.
    I believe we should wear cardinal red for every home game. Period. If we promote this color for every game, fans can get used to wearing the cardinal and won't have to worry about what special color day it happens to be.

    And the Golden Rules thing really ticks me off. Screw Nebraska and their colors. When they play at our house, we still dictate what color we want to wear. If we declare a Golden Rules day and some of our fanbase still wears cardinal, it makes them all look like cornholer fans. If we all wear red, it will be tougher to see how many kNU fans are in the stands. Our guys see red at home and know the support is there. We should not have to adjust our wardrobe for home games. I don't care who comes to town. Our primary color is cardinal and we should all wear it with pride.

    End of rant. A sea of cardinal rocks.

    I just think white might go over better than cardinal or gold... people may not have the other colors but EVERYONE has white!
    Where'd you get that throwback jersey?

    Who cares about colors? Fill up the damn stands and yell loud. When the cooler weather comes people start wearing winter coats anway, so it all mixed colors anyway.

    Now that's something I never thought I'd ever read! I may have to figure out how to make a signature and put that in it!

    I think you have a good point. I'm all for a sea of cardinal at every game!

    Yeah these things are cool, our HS basketball team did a blackout last year and the whole gym was covered head to toe in black including body paint.

    But yeah this wouldn't work for JTS because it's so open. Nice idea though.
