Maize Pants?

O'Korn needs all the help he can get seeing our wide receivers with some contrast against the white background. I think this is a legitimate advantage, and a smart move. If it helps him on just one play it's worth it. Go Blue!

I might actually buy that in this particular circumstance.

Because we can't be wearing an all white uniform during the "white out"

Plus white shirts. Set to a "white out" backdrop? Bad idea. Now, maize pants on a white backdrop .... ah ha! Albeit arbitrary, I'm giving Jon Falk the credit.

We HAD to do something. Othewise, we just look like we are part of the white out. Would have been bad Karma.

This way, we are going to kick their butt.

This in the early week 'Bold Prediction' thread. This will be cool. Maybe we'll play like we did the other time we wore maize pants this season!

Maize pants for this game. I say keep the white as the normal road pants.

Penn st is doing white out so all white would've been perfect. It would be like they are cheering for us

Yeah, but if O'Korn is looking downfield, his receivers might actually blend in with all that white in his view. The maize will help them stand out.

I wonder if the winged helmet helps O'korn see his receivers downfield better than other helmets?

Fritz Crisler thought so.

The pants will help too though.

I think we should have just went ALL maize again. No problem with blending in at all then

They should stick with all white. If the crowd is all wearing white they must be rooting for the team wearing all white. It's sound logic.

I really loved the white pants though. Hopefully it's just for this game- ya know, to offset all the white
