Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Our next "theme night" should be scarlet and grey checkboard? any takers?
I believe that the above photo was a digitally color enhanced image to encourage everyone to do it for the Florida game (4 Oct 2014). There appears to be orange colored concrete where there are empty seats in the lower right hand corner and there is no obvious visitor's section.
Tennessee Football @Vol_Football 28 Sep 2014
It's Florida Week! Time To #CheckerNeyland!: #VolNation, you asked for it! Make it a reality! http://checkerneyland.com/

The results were good; but probably not that good:

In the end, the only important result was the final score: Tennessee lost the game 10-9.

The blackout is also about creating an impressive and memorable atmosphere for the purposes of recruiting.
I just hope the organizers are smart enough to provide free t shirts (which they haven't done for similar stunts in the past) or the blackout is going to be pretty pathetic thanks to everyone who didn't get the memo about wearing black.

What happened to my ¤cash?
And this is what scares me the most about the uniform deviation. Give an inch and there goes a mile... No offense to bosshawk intended, but TDunk hit the nail on the head. I'm largely indifferent to the black uniform. If the kids like it, great, I'm in. But the last thing I hope we ever become is bastard uniform child of Temple and Oregon.

Fans would have to be pretty out of touch not to know about the blackout. And doesn't everyone own one of those black Undisputed National Champions shirts or sweatshirts? It should be easy to black out the 'Shoe.
Here's something stupid, though. I was at Giant Eagle yesterday and in the checkout lane they had black rally towels that they were selling for $7 apiece. Umm...when they have rally towels at a game they hand them out for free. And there is no point in waving a black rally towel if the fans are wearing black. No one will see them.

Anybody who owns an Undisputed NC shirt can't wear it because even though they ordered the same size shirt they always wear, it's still too small.

They hinted at it. Not once did they make it clear to the casual or older fan that they better wear black. The dark night could easily be misconstrued as a uniform thing.
They've also pretended like they haven't been promoting it, which is extreme absurdity but also plays into the "not marketing this properly" criticism.
The stupidity of MOAR black is well stated but they're going all in. They'll also be making life hell for folks like me. Hello Mr. 1DX, please use your autofocus system to find contrast with black uniforms in front of a black background.

All of those really well pulled off color patterns supplied shirts at the entrance of each section.
Further risking the integrity of the blackout will be the cold weather and the fact that people will need to dress warm with whatever- probably not black- gear they have.
Like I said, they need to have boxes of xxl black shirts at the entrance of all the sections large enough to put over the top of a coat.
They won't and the blackout will probably suck and be spotted with other colors everywhere.
Heaven help us if it rains.
