Because it's a stadium filled with black and the players are wearing all black.
So you hate your school color??? Than go root for the Oakland Raiders!
RU is not my school. I'm just a fan of the RU FB program. Which would look so much better in all black.
I am ok with black if it is a night game. With so much scarlet in the stadium, the black outs do not work for day games.
Off the top of my head we beat UConn in 12, Arkansas in 13 and Michigan in 14. So we have won three of the last four.
Hell no. I'm a paying customer. Black is beautiful. Red makes everything look like a cheap toy.
And some of our greatest losses were in black. WVU games in the downpour and than in the snow and Louisville for a chance to go to the BCS game.
DAMN! :eek: Its been a long day can't believe I can't remember these. If that's the case he damn well better keep the blackout games.
But that has no relevance to the post I was replying to. He said he couldn't remember our last time winning in black. How does someone already forget that exciting Michigan game?
Because I'm trying to forget that the Flood era ever happened. Just like the Giants never hired Ray Handley they forfeited all those games.[winking]
The question is why do we need a black set? If Ash wants classic unis and not multiple unis where is a black set needed? The color-out was made popular by Penn State with the White Out. Why would Rutgers want to follow a stupid tradition that Penn State created?
No one needs a black set. My point is Ash can want classic, can not want 15 jerseys (his words), and still be okay with black. Red, white, black isn't excessive.
Yes it is. Big Ten teams have a standard home and away unis. Simply you have a school color jersey and white pants and you reverse it for away games. That's classic. A power ranger all black isn't classic
The players have no say. Biggest myth on this board. The players wanted to wear black for the first PSU and we're told no.
The Big Ten stopped Rutgers from having a black out. The players, school had no say
Not that your opinion is going to change what the team does, but why do you have to rain on the parade of all the people that find the black-out a fun thing to do? Don't be so selfish. Let others have some fun too.
Michigan, Nebraska, Northwestern, Illinois, Iowa, etc etc. all have alternate uniforms. In fact, only team I can think of without an alternate uniform is PSU. I get the whole classic look but it's doesn't mean you have to be Boring.
So many on here are in favor of going back to s more boring uniform style . Why? So we look like Nebraska ? We can change the current unis without being totally boring and irrelevant .
