Old Dominion White Out

Re: Old Dimionin White Out

Just for the record, ODU's has had several white outs and I don't think we've lost a single one.

Just something to think about.

That changes everything.

Re: Old Dimionin White Out

Not sure which way I will go on this. If this game were in the day on Saturday, the sunlight from the south and the white visual inside would be great. Not a fan of any 'gold out' because we don't seem to have a lot of gold merchandise and to make it really effective we would need to have the players go to gold uniforms, too. We know that won't happen as we are still using the road uniforms from 3 or 4 years ago (MVC 100 yr patch).

Would much rather push for a "Purple Rain" or "Purple Haze" or something like that.

Of course, I hope the organizing of this thing goes more successfully than the using of spell check for the title of a thread....

Re: Old Dimionin White Out

i predict epic failure

Agree, but I predict the failure of the white out will be less than the failure of the gold out.

Re: Old Dimionin White Out

Who decides on these things as well? Does the athletic deaprtment do it? Does Marketing and Eric Hrubes do it? Or is it just those male cheerleader replacements in the jailmate jumpsuites going...I think we should were this color.

Re: Old Dimionin White Out

Also, what if I don't own a white UNI shirt?

I know I used to have some, but I don't think I do anymore. They are all Purple, Black, and Yellow....and I don't want to go look for a white shirt because that would mean I would have to buy it.

Re: Old Dimionin White Out

How about a Topless Friday. Everyone could participate. I know I would be there early.

Go to Walmart and buy a plain white t-shirt for a couple bucks.

I'm thinking of buying a couple packs of them to hand out to those around me wearing anything other than white.

Re: Old Dimionin White Out

Who the eff is "we".

You and four of your drunk buddies, or the athletic department?

A "white out" is a tremendously terrible idea. It wouldn't be a stunning move from a school that has struggled to market itself intelligently (are we still Students First, or are we doing something else now?), but still a bad one.

Purple or gold. Choose a color. I prefer Gold because it has more "pop" on TV than purple, but that's just me.

Is it also the color of WSU road uni's? STICK WITH PURPLE !

Re: Old Dimionin White Out

I look at it as an opportunity to expand my wardrobe. Why do we have to complain about everything? Instead, let's try to help make this work if it's what our athletic department (and maybe even the team) wants to do.

Is this an initiative of the Athletic Dept? If not, the only people to know about it will be those who read PN.

No, this is not an iniciative from the athletic department. It is an initiative from the pep crew via Facebook. I agree though and will do my part to make it work.

By pep crew do you mean the group of students that are the replacements that Dannen picked because the male cheerleaders quit? The group of people that were those ridiculous looking outfits? Those people who think they are better fans than everyone else?


A white out against a team whose official school colors are WHITE and Blue is rediculous. It's like the Hawkeyes Gold out when they played us in football...


_____outs are nothing but gimicks. They are used by school to try to get attention for something/someone because they can't think of a better way to do it. It is no different that Boises Blue turf or EWU's coming Red turf. It's a damn gimmick and that is it. When was the last time a respectable school went with a _____out? Duke? UNC? Texas? Kansas? Creighton? SIU? Anybody? Remember the Green out at Iowa...yeah that was dumb as hell and did nothing but make it a laughing stock to most fans because who the hell wears green when it isn't a school color. There are unwritten rules at those schools to wear certain colors because they are SCHOOL colors. Dark Blue at Kansas and Duke, Orange at Texas, Carolina Blue at UNC, Maroon at SIU, Blue at Creighton, etc... They don't do any _____out's, because it's a joke...especially when 5 replacements to male cheerleaders decide LET'S DO A _____OUT WITH THE OTHER SCHOOLS COLOR.



I have plenty of white shirts I could wear, just not a UNI one, and I'm not going to wear a non-UNI shirt to a UNI game. I could tell Ryan, because I know he is a Iowa fan to wear one of his 100 gold Iowa shirts to the game, but turn it inside out....


I hate gimmicks, and I may be the only person there wearing a Purple shirt but so be it.

Re: Old Dimionin White Out

My issue is $'s. I have never bought a white UNI shirt and very seldom get the opportunity to buy a white one. Family of 6 to UNI BB is financially taxing enough with tickets and concessions. Let's not add another expense for attire. Purple and/or Gold will accomplish the same thing. For those in the decision making process, please, be considerate.

Re: Old Dimionin White Out

Simple solution...EVERYONE that is a UNI fan has a Purple UNI shirt...of some tint. We should strive to make every game a Purple out...like UNC does with their Carolina Blue. We don't need to call it a Purple Out, we just need to call it a home game.
