This, in opinion, is the post of the year. I have marveled for years how we as fans, can't seem to wear one and only one color. I don't know who to really blame, the school or fans or maybe just the economics of it, more color choices might mean more revenue.

But yes, wear red to the game.

We actually started doing a great job on the football side of things under Greg Part 1 and his “WEAR RED TO THR GAME” mantra but have fallen back into bad old habits of late.

Like others said there were always constant reminders during Schiano's last go around. That's how far his attention to detail goes. It'd be on the tickets, radio ads would end with, "And don't forget to wear Red to the game". People need constant reminders and reinforcement. Without Greg leading the charge, our AD's dropped the ball and decided it was not important. Thus the kaleidoscope of colors seen at all our home events.

To see this, just look at some of the old photo's from Greg's last go around a sea of red, which then carried over to other sports. Look at Flood and Ash, a sea of multicolor whatever the **** you want to call it. So make fun of it if you like, but it looks like, we as fans can't get our sh*t together. Especially when 107,000 can where blue to Michigan and have no problem doing it. Hell we can't even do a two letter chant properly.

Believe me, I am not making fun of it. I actually support wearing red, and only red to the game.

Maybe if the teams stuck to wearing red the fans would?

Wearing black and then selling black jerseys and then tell the fans to not wear the black to games is silly.

Burn the black and wear red, and wear white when needed like away games

That part wasn't directed towards you but others who found it inconsequential. You and I are on the same train of thought. A totally committed/unified fanbase and program will look the part. We look like everyone grabbed the 1st shirt they could find out of the dryer and headed to the game. It looks like a rock concert, not a B1G home game like other stadiums/arenas throughout the conference. The school should really put forth this message more vigorously.

It’s actually more important when we play teams like Penn State or Michigan (orWVU) to contrast the navy visitor fans. Black blends in.

These other schools have total buy in...which we lost a bit of when Flood came in and totally lost with Ash.
We went to the first football game we played at psu. It was a stripe out game & because Rutgers wouldn't sell us a block of 25 tickets for my group we bought thru a psu ticket agent (who could not have been more helpful & accommodating). But, because we bought through their ticket agent we were now placed on their email list. we literally received emails every other day reminding us that we were in the blue section and to wear blue. We got so many emails that I almost wore blue because I was brainwashed into thinking that's what I needed to wear. I was in awe when we got to the stadium and saw that everyone in every section was wearing the appropriate color. Someday that will be us again
