Thoughts on stripe the birthplace

[Plum Street]

I sit on the east side and I didn't think the west side looked too good as far as the stripe goes. It was a nice idea but shouldn't have been done for a Michigan game.

Not good. Should've held off for a game against Wisconsin, Nebraska or OSU. Big crowd against a team with similar colors.

Agree, Michigan's yellow stood out. Tough color to hide.

Or we just don't do this gimmicky crap until we kno we're competitive and have a fan base who will get behind the idea.

Said it the day they began promoting:

"could NOT have picked a worse game. There will be 10,000 Michigan fans in the stadium that night. Most in yellow. What is RU thinking?"

...some laughed re: 10,000 Michigan fans.

It was a bad idea. We are not a good team. Need to be a good team To get the fans on board for things like this.

Plus all the rain ponchos of varying colors. Even the clear ponchos looked white in the reflective lights.

Splotch the Birthplace. Amateur hour. Focus on the on-field product. Get that going. Then work on the gimmicks.

 

[ArminRU]

meh, they'll photoshop out the yellow and make it nice for pictures

 

[rurichdog]

Could have been better, could have been worse
edit: not my pic, this is from NJOnline

Wow...that's SOOOO much better than I thought it was sitting in 121, BUT, the west side of the stadium had a lot more yellow in it for sure....nice pic though.

Looks like tread marks from the tanks that ran over lol

 

[Scarlet4ever]

Yeah it looked decent from the west side. Can't help the fact we had rain. Also there are visitors sections in the upper west side and the NW corner of the stadium. Better than a lot of people thought it would look especially with rain ponchos mixed in

 

[bac2therac]

If you viewed it from the east side it didnt look good at all

Kinda what I said. Probably 90% of the Michigan fans were either in north end zone or on the east side (up and down).

I think we should stick to the blackouts. It also didn't help that there were Rutgers fans wearing yellow ponchos.

 

[Tango Two]

Enough already with blackouts and stripes and chasing silly fads

 

[RU4]

Agreed. It's so stupid. Let dress in different colors and get the shit kicked out of us

 

[RocktheRac]

I sat in 128. It didn't look like that from my seats. BTW...the panoramic pic.... I saw a lot of people giving the finger. Was that the trend?

Get off my lawn !!

 

[APKnight]

It was a good idea IMO. The rain hurt it, not to mention the cataclysmic blowout.

 

[mikershoein]

A good number of ponchos were yellow, that didn't help things

 

[LotusAggressor]

Worry about winning games first.

 

[RichDonRU]

Also difficult due to rain!
