The beauty of a "brand" is that you don't need to look for the T/O/M on the field, you don't have to spot the dog, or Brutus. You see the uniform and you instantly know who it is. Why throw that away?

Because Nike gives us money. Then why doesn't Michigan/Alabama/USC/the Yankees have to do it?
Maybe because you don't have to give up your identity to get the money?

Do a throw back. I love it when I see the Packers running around looking like the days of Don Hudson. I'd love to see the Bucks come out of the tunnel looking like the 43/54/61/68 teams. But those are real throwbacks - as close to the original as a modern uniform can look.

Failing that at least retain some semblance of what you've worn for the 100+ years you've fielded a team.

To me, Pokemon is fucking dumb. But the stupid kids like it to the point where it's a billion dollar industry. Who cares?

We are not talking about Pokemon here, sir. We are talking about football jerseys: you know, really important stuff.

I'm sure someone was upset about this too:

By the way, everyone wears white jerseys and I've seen plenty of douchebags mistake teams with red in their scheme for us. I remember watching a Wiscy game with some tool a few years ago who just assumed that it was the Bucks.

"It's stupid and I don't like it."

"Back in my day, we gave a crap about tradition. Today's kids are stupid."

"Who cares if the people wearing them like them. They don't matter. What my grandfather liked is what matters."

"WE'RE NOT OREGON, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!!!11!!"

"We won't be able to tell who PSU is playing on a field that says Ohio State. OMG."

Will this conversation ever end?

It's going to be really fucking cool and the old crusties traditionalists aren't going to enjoy it.

I'm not mad, I'm sad. Such a silly thing to get so bothered by,

Michigan, Alabama, and the Yankees have all worn alternate jerseys.

USC is on the verge. It was a hot topic for them in the summer.

It's because wearing a black uniform makes us Cincy! Right?!

Cincinnati Bearcats Football Game Against Toledo Is A White Out
Anyways, pointless rant aside, the flashy scheduling page on the Bearcats Football site reveals that Cincinnati’s home opener against the Rockets at Paul Brown Stadium has been designated as a white out. Will a fan guide prelude the game? Who knows but let’s hope so. Considering the hype built up around Gunner Kiel and with two whole weeks prior to kickoff watching everyone else play, it’s not unfathomable to think we’ll see a sold out PBS for this game. And if those 45,000+ are clad in white, or whatever the capacity is without the upper deck, it will make the atmosphere all the better.

But the nuggets don’t stop there.

  • Cincinnati’s annual Battle for the Victory Bell contest against Miami (OH) will be UC’s “Ring of Red” game and the school will also celebrate homecoming on the same day.
  • The one against the Memphis Tigers will have “Hometown Heroes” events surrounding the game. A quick Google search suggests that this is either a band from Chicago or an organization that honors the men and women who service in our communities. People like teachers, doctors, and nurses. I’m guess it’s that one.
  • East Carolina on November 13th will be a black out. Considering the utmost importance of that game, it could very well decide the AAC championship, having a sheet of black around Paul Brown Stadium should make the environment even more menacing for the Pirates. Bearcats fans have known to be especially loud during black outs. You know it. I know it. UC knows it. So they probably strategically made the black out this game. Nicely done!
  • The final home game of the season on December 6th is again the Houston Cougars and as such has been designated as Senior Day.

You're right.

The giant turds that are some of these comments are flowing in at a phenomenal pace.

I appreciate the effort, though. That dedication to high-quality antagonism is truly admirable.

I'mma be honest, I stopped giving your opinion the benefit of the doubt the moment you called the idea "gay".

I'mma be just as honest as admit I couldn't really give less of a fuck
