Don't know why, but this made me laugh.

 

[Dunc1]

I laughed also. Maybe PSU will also stripe the endzones like was done quite a few years ago. Might have been in 60's and early 70's.

 

[RUMBA-JK]

So Penn State Fans will look like this?

 

[Dunc1]

No. I think every other section will be either blue or white.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

The 10,000 Scarlet fans in the house will make it PATROITIC

Wear RED...LOTS of RED

 

[RUMBA-JK]

And this?

 

[Dunc1]

Actually the endzones used to be checkered. But maybe they could make them stripes.

Ha! My thought exactly.. its perfect.

Yes that's how they'll show up. This would aptly display the state penn cult persona.

 

[getmyjive11]

Well, this will be a failure.

 

[MrsScrew]

this may be the single stupidest think I've ever heard for a football game. with the RU fans in the upper corner it's going to look like the flag that El Salvador used in the late 1800's

El Salvador in the 1800s... nicely done... flag nerd.

 

[Dunc1]

Why so pessimistic? It might work if communicated properly for sections in advance.
Now unlike the outfits and flag shown, the stripes would be vertical by sections, not Horizontal. I would think.

Wow!

Mr. Screw just told me I should contact Sheldon Cooper to be on "Fun with Flags"

 

[vkj91]

If done right it will look good. Iowa does it and it looks awesome. Question is will the PSU fan base but into it. THey'll probably say it was Joe's dying wish and then everyone will get on board.

 

[RU_Coming_Along]

It will look like Sandusky Appreciation Night.

HA!!!!!!!!!!

How long before there is a thread on BWI stating that Rutgers is not an opponent worthy of a "Stripe Out" game. After all, we are not rivals.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

We get to in the 1st ever stripe out game.

Good thing that don't consider us rivals or they would have plan something special...

 

[newell138]

I wonder who the Orangeout game will be against?

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

It will look like Sandusky Appreciation Night.

Only if it rains.

If only Rutgers fans were allowed to buy all of the tickets in every third section and wore RED to the game.

Agree with Jive. This is going to go over like a lead zeppelin.

 

[Dunc1]

I don't see why it can't work. Also, for night games you typically only see the lower levels. So red in upper levels won't really be seen, on TV in particular. Lower level sure.
But seriously I don't know why the striping in the lower level sections can't work out. It's not as cool as the white out, but it seems like a good idea to me. Why not? The white out is far better because the white is so dramatic at night. And the build up to the game is exciting. And because people don't usually wear just white, so it is different. But anyway, I don't see why the stripe idea can't work. Key is getting white mainly in the alternating sections. Other sections not as important because you can't really see blue at night anyway.
