I would love for the gold jerseys to make an appearance for the WVU game next week. Would think this would be a great way to fire up the players for this game.

I'm just going to throw this out there. Granted, I never played any higher than the high school level, but not once did I ever get fired up for a game based on what color jersey/helmet/pants/socks/shoes we were wearing? I never thought "Man, I can't wait to go out and play extra hard because I'm wearing a black jersey tonight!"

It's a cutesy little thing for the fans, but if it takes a gold jersey for a player to get fired up for a game, that's a player that I don't really want on my team, because he apparently couldn't care less about the game, team or school.

Just because you don't get fired up about alternate uniforms doesn't mean your opinion is the majority opinion:

You see the cyclones sticker on the locker behind the second guy they interview. Starts at the 15 second mark.

I can only hope that there's no video of our team out there like that, because it was embarassing for me to watch grown *** men act like that because of the color of a jersey, and I have no ties to Ohio University at all.

Too bad they're excited for a jersey/pants combo that is ugly as sin.

@OhioU, not ours

Can we finally put a gravestone over this stupid *** rumor? I'm so sick of seeing this thread. We need and "Opt out of White helmets" option in the User CP.

Once again - just because you're embarrassed doesn't make your opinion the majority opinion.

And I'll continue to go with my own opinion that if it takes a different colored football jersey to pump up an FBS football player, that's a player I wouldn't care to have. If playing a collegiate football game, in our case for our bowl life in the Big XII isn't enough to pump you up and you need a gold jersey to do so, you're not playing for the right reasons.

I personally think there is a big reason you don't see a lot of alternate Jerseys for teams like Nebraska (before they sucked), Alabama, LSU, Penn State, USC and Ohio State. You get down to business and build a tradition. Oregon's tradition is wacked out Uniforms and a booster called Nike. In the end, if you want excited players, you win. I played a lot of football in my life, if you result to gimmicks to get your team excited to play football, you are doing it wrong.

i guess it was KU you guys were talking about when you said white helmets.

I think Shontrelle must have been talking about their socks and undershirts when he said "all white"; aren't they usually cardinal or gold instead of white?
