"Because I don't own a sombrero and I refuse to be told what to wear, after all I paid for my own ticket!"
this is why we can't ever do anything like this
Obvious solutions to this problem:
1) CycloneFanatic/Wilson Toyota present ISU MBB Sombrero Night.
2) Shirtless Rules Night
Hilton Magic thrived on Individuals coming together in support of a common goal. As it is now, there is only one way to cheer, one way to be a fan, etc. If you don't fit the ADs model fan image then you are chastised and looked down upon.
See Cyclone Alley and all their managed cheers. Just one example. No one wants to be told that their way doesn't fit in, but thats exactly what CA portrays.
Remember when the fans got excited from within themselves? Thats Hilton Magic.
Hopefully there are plenty of signs tonight that direct me what to yell and when to yell it. I'd be lost without!
How about Texas A&M when they did the Red, White, and Blue out as a sign of respect after September 11th? Sometimes the moment is just bigger then individual fans and people want to be a part of something special... something that looks awesome, and shows the passion their fanbase has....
Okay, now that is freaking badass!How about Texas A&M when they did the Red, White, and Blue out as a sign of respect after September 11th?

That's cool.
What if everyone pitched in and got ya a yellow hatchetman shirt? Would that be cool?
J/K man, I'm just pullin your chain...
your wallet chain, of course.
I feel like this could be a Miller Light commercial.
(Man wearing cardinal cyclone shirt in bar before game, waitress walks up to him and...)
Hot waitress: "What can I get you?"
Man: "A light beer"
HW: "are you sure you don't want a miller light? great taste?"
M: "No. I don't care about taste."
HW: "okay, well, when you man up and wear gold, let me know and I'll get you a Miller Light."
(Cut to same man now wearing Gold cyclone shirt with a Miller Light. Attractive women are on either side of him.)
Woman #1 (sexily): "you are a true Cyclone fan. You even wore gold on 'gold rules' day."
M: "What can I say, I'm just...
(Man's phone rings with KU fight song)
M: "This isn't what you think."
Woman #2: "You phony!"
(Both women slap man and walk away. Hot waitress returns and takes Miller Light from man and ...)
HW: "You don't deserve great taste, you ******* Jayhawk."

You might be on to something, here. But you're forgetting the format. It has to be "Something RULES" night.
For example we could do:
Wyld Stallyns Rule Night- Excellent!
Cider House Rules Night- everyone dress like an orphan
8 Simple Rules Night- congenital heart defects get in free
Carnal Rules Night- come as your favorite sex act. (Limit one Dirty Sanchez per party)

I don't agree with you on the AD looking down on people that don't "fit in"
However I do agree on the "freeness" that built the magic and made the environment what it was. I point you to last night's womens game, the Cyclone Alley leaders never once held up signs pointing where to wave your hands when the other team was shooting a free throw or anything, they didn't do much. Now granted it was a women's game and there were maybe 30 of us there not including the band. But when the team started to make a run and their big comeback the students and the entire crowd got just as excited and enthusiastic.

A&M fans still talk about that day. Because it was freaking awesome.
I agree it could be special. But then make it special. Put it on all the tickets. Maybe send out a media release prior to the day of the game and ask that the media print PRIOR to game day.
I would have gladly worn gold if I was aware. As it is now, I am going to the game straight from work and can't get to the gold shirt store. I apoligize to everyone for all the recruits we will lose as a result of an unsucessful gold out. My bad.

I wont deny that it, or any other color-out looks pretty cool.
(though it is at TAMU... the cult there would dress up in just about anything as long as you convinced them it was some sort of tradition)
The funny thing is, as much flak as ive taken in this thread, and while i still think the 'gold rules' thing is a bad idea.... im wearing the gold (or rather yellow since they dont sell too many gold shirts) shirt that i'll be wearing tonight right now. Funny how many assumed that just because i thought it was a bad idea by the AD that I wouldnt be doing it and bashed me for it.
