MJWalker45 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I cant wait until someone finds the loop hole in this and exposes the NCAA blazer-wearing bozos. I hope a team decides to go all white during a snow storm, as mentioned above.Mississippi State did it back in 2000 vs Texas A&M.To be fair, that was a bowl game. It wasn't like they expected to be in a blizzard. But yes it's painful to try to find someone wearing all white in a snowstorm. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaline97 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 This is stupid. I like monochrome and I like colored fields. I want to see more of them, actually.Totally agree. I don't see the huge fuss about either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the first game I thought of when I saw that snow comment.Side Note: I think it's time for Boise to wear white-orange-white at home games now.

Personally, I think the uniform thing is getting stupid. People seem to overlook that Boise State won at home for a long time before going monochrome.

DelayedPenalty Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I suggest a long, expensive and unnecessary scientific study into the advantage gained by camouflaging yourself into the field turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I suggest a long, expensive and unnecessary scientific study into the advantage gained by camouflaging yourself into the field turf.Not a bad idea actually. It's not that hard to determine if a statistically significant increase in the number of surprise hits and injuries happen when "camouflage" is used.

Geoff Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Of course they did. Doesn't the MW already have a conference rule banning monochrome blue for BSU? Natural extension.I believe part of the deal to get them to come back was dropping that rule. With the MWC running to the NCAA, this reminds me of the free spending NHL owners then turning around and trying to get out of paying the full amount.

chakfu Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 This reminds me of the old computer football game "4th and inches". I made all the NFL teams using the team construction kit disk; if a team had a green jersey, the field would switch to light blue. I remember trying a matchup between a green team and a light blue team; if I recall correctly, the field switched to a Boise St. blue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that hard to determine if a statistically significant increase in the number of surprise hits and injuries happen when "camouflage" is used.There must be some studies done by sports economists on this point--too bad I don't have access to JSTOR anymore.Anyway, I would be fine with the rule if a statistical or clinical study shows monochrome does offer an added advantage to the home team. Imagine hockey teams wearing monochrome white. I do think that there could be an exception for monochrome green for physiological reasons. The human eye has about twice as many receptors for green as it does for blue or red, so humans are natually able to distinguish between shades of green much better than blues or reds.

ltjets21 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Doesn't it hurt the home team just as much as it does the away team? It most likely could confuse a qb looking downfield at a reciever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 By the way, I'm pretty sure I've read that the opposing teams complaints are NOT that you can't see the players during a game, but that its hard to make out all the details on game films, therefore affecting preparation. I'm not sure how many of us are in a position to judge the validity of that particular complaint.You have to work 150 hours a week watching game film before you can weigh in.

OnWis97 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 The blizzard scenario is very interesting. In theory, any team could play in snow, so every team that only had white pants* would have to adopt an alternate set of pants. Penn State, for example, would have blue alternate pants and probably wear them once every five years on a road game in November. But they'd have to be "official" and they'd have to actually exist for each player. Actually, I think Penn State would look good with blue pants on the road.*I am not sure whether helmets "count", i.e., would Mississippi State's dark helmet be enough to offset the "problem", or would dark pants be needed?The original post asks "what has college football come to?" The answer is that it has come to the point where teams are doing funny things to their fields just to get noticed. It has come to the point where the uniforms are no longer about representing the school, but about getting us talking about the apparel manufacturer. I have no problem toning this crap down.If I were king, I'd say that Boise can keep their blue field (and not wear blue mono) but everyone else must have green fields.

tommytimp Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 So I guess Oregon, Colorado State, Baylor, etc. won't be able to wear monochrome green?But remember, next year Oregon will be wearing periwinkle-and-blackberry-chrome helmets on top of toasted-marshmallow-brown uniforms with duck wings literally sprouting from the shoulder blades of the jerseys. (Nike's new "duk-flite" uni-fit technology [TM]) So the green of Oregon is probably moot.
