Why is it so hard to wear maize?

Watching on tv, almost no one wears maize.  Is it really that hard?

It's the Go Blue effect 100%. I ask any of my college football savvy friends who aren't UM partisans, and they think we are all about the blue, none of them think we wear maize to games. So you assume at least 40% of the people in the stands are non-hardcore fans/down in front people and you get why we have so much blue and no real maize out ever.

Boubacar Cissoko gets into trouble

William Campbell lacks production

Justin Turner transfers
