Why would we do a blackout game against a team that will be wearing black helmets and black pants? Why not do the blackout game the week before vs Buffalo and make the NIU game a green out or a ghost out? MY STATE. MY TEAM.

A good way to confuse a lot of viewers at home who know NIU for their black uniforms. Most Memorable Bobcat Events Attended 2010 97-83 win over Georgetown in NCAA 1st round 2012 45-13 victory over ULM in the Independence Bowl 2015 34-3 drubbing of Miami @ Peden front of 25,086 Back to Top The Optimist General User Member Since: 3/16/2007 Location: CLE Post Count: 5,552 Status: Offline     RE: Blackout Game    Posted: 7/20/2014 7:31:31 PM  Does the home team get to choose home colors no matter what or is there an agreement necessary if we want to wear something other than white? I know we've worn blacks at home before. Beyond that, I am really pumped for NIU this year. That has become a program that is beginning to get some name-recognition from average fans. This is our premier home game this year. I've been really happy with the atmosphere in Peden the last 5 years. This is a great game to showcase the growth of the atmosphere in Peden. I've seen crazier things happen.

Buffalo should be blackout, NIU should be a greenout. MY STATE. MY TEAM.

Just so happens it's been the first several times. I believe it was the 2nd game in 2012 vs. BG, with the first being vs. EMU. By that logic, no question NIU is the more marquee game as opposed to Buffalo. And who cares what NIU wears?? This is our house!

Now teams just have to wear jerseys of contrasting colors. The home team is allowed to wear white if the teams agree to it in advance in writing. Similarly, the road team can wear non-white jerseys if both teams agree in writing beforehand and the league confirms that the colors are "contrasting."

This is the USC-UCLA Rule, right?   Or the LSU rule. They wear white almost every game no matter where it is. Very seldom do you see them in purple jerseys.

LSU wears their purple jerseys for non-conference home games (excluding the home opener).   Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 10  of 10 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 272 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 270 Guests 2 Registered Users:   Bobcat61, Mike Coleman There are no other users looking at this page.
