Or does this only work in the PNW where it's never sunny? I was thinking the same thing, but idk how much impact the color or the actual grass has for the heat, it's more all the rubber that's laid down that is where there heat comes from I remeber my senior in hs we got turf and of course back when turf in high school was rare and just sitting there during stretching and sticking your fingers in to see how far in they go and remeber during 3 a days you could dig a hole in the new rubber because it wasn't packed down and you can feel the heat raise out the turf at that spot more so.

Clintau24 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Oregon State brought Retro Benny back as an alternate logo, announced today. Will be worn on helmets vs Cal. Another look: "I believe in Auburn and love it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they would use the patterns on adidas' third jerseys this year. The uniforms are supposed to be worn against LSU so it doesn't seem likely that they'll be all white.

ujju2 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I don't understand all the complaining about field colours. I'm not a big fan of the darker colours, but I absolutely love Coastal Carolina's teal and Belle Vernon's gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remeber Akron wearing these, now that gold fabric on pants are matte and plain without the dazzle sparkles I love these helmets with teams with gold pants.

SSmith48 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I think that colored turfs are used more for recruitment and to be used as a "cool" factor. A player would more willing to go to a school because they have a "unique" turf. I am indifferent on the situation, mainly because it has become so widespread. Some colors work, others don't. Black is too dark of a color to play on due to heat. Gray is fine, and blue is more common. But red, gold, and purple/gray striped is too bold. Barrow High School in Alaska actually has a pretty decent looking blue field, for its location. It makes for a pretty unforgettable playing experience.

Guessing they rent some pontoons for the visiting team's bench? And this photo must be during construction because I don't think having a backhoe hold up goalposts is regulation. 5th in NAT.

Or does this only work in the PNW where it's never sunny? The midwest gets the same amount of rain as the PNW, but it’s condensed into about a third to half as many days. The south gets significantly more rain. Hard rain and thunderstorms are rare in the PNW. Rather, you can expect a little bit of drizzle most days in the spring and fall, but certainly not all day/every day. The most consistent gloom and rain comes in the winter. The summer is about four consistent months with almost no rain or gloom, just haze and sun.
