Every couple years, what seems like a “uniform mafia”, aka Nike, gets together and picks the alternate color that most NCAA teams will wear for the season. I’m pretty sure everyone remembers the alternate black fad of the early to mid 2000’s. Well, in 2011, welcome the alternate gray. As you may have noted during the Louisiana Lafayette game, gray will be our alternate color this year.
One of USF’s advantages is the new student section - “Fog Zone”. Believe me, I am a huge proponent of wearing whites at home, but I think there is a huge opportunity here.
Home WCC Schedule: Sat, 12/31/11 LMU Thu, 1/12/12 Port Sat, 1/14/12 Pep Sat, 1/28/11 SD Thu, 2/9/12 SC Thu, 2/16/12 BYU Sat, 2/18/12 Gon Sat, 2/25/11 StM
I’d love for the Fog Zone, USF fans, and anyone attending the game to wear gray. This includes the team wearing their grey alternates. But not for every game… just for our February games. These would be our bigger games of the year (SC, BYU, Gon, St.M). WMG could have a foghorn sound go off at certain times during the game. We could incorporate the new LCD signage. The possibilities are endless. It would be even better if the USF bookstore had a particular gray shirt on sale for these games.
Lets embrace this new direction the program is heading towards and build on it. What are your thoughts?
