Isn't this the same as at Wisconsin last year? Won't this kind of blend in with the 'Lions navy blue jersey?

At Wisconsin last year....

On another thread this was the combo I predicted. So called it!

But also... What times will the lights go out for the glow in the dark go into effect? Isn't that when Penn State scores? That doesn't feel like a smart move.

that mummy duck in the video looks like it took a beating. 😵‍💫😧

They don’t want to go all white. It would blend into the crowd from the field level. Penn State fans did a white-out for the B1G Championship Game. They took up roughly 75% of Lucas Oil Stadium. Black contrasted well during that game.

What about all-Yellow?

Or…

A GREEN dominant uniform to make us stand out, while being true to our colors? (Green Helmet, green pants and shoes, with white jersey and green accents?)

It is quite possible…

I was hoping for the all white Stormtrooper look. Like the ones we blew the doors off the Trojans with.

A close second would have been the all yellow like we beat Michigan State with. Oh well, a guy can dream! Go Ducks, tame the Lions!

Tried to like these, but man, the uniforms seem like a whiff this time around. What's up with the mummy theme? Are mummies a big thing with young people? Brings back bad memories of the Mandrake fail. Seems like more of a distraction than added value. Disappointing for the biggest football event of the year.

Oh well, if we can pull out a W I'm sure I will love them. And maybe they'll feed into DL's theme of "Play the game, not the occasion."

Go Ducks!

Section 4, Article 5, Paragraph 3 of the NCAA Football Rule Book, the NCAA prohibits the home team from wearing "away" whites at home.

2.     The visiting team shall wear white jerseys; however, the home team may wear white jerseys if the teams have agreed in writing before the season

3.     If the home team wears colored jerseys, the visiting team may also wear colored jerseys, if and only if the following two conditions have been satisfied:

1. The home team has agreed in writing prior to the game; and

2. The conference of the home team certifies that the jersey of the visiting team is of a contrasting color

Coach Franklin in 2019:  "First of all, part of the White Out is the contrast. It helps us if everybody else is in white, it makes our players stand out on the field for our quarterback and those types of things. That's the first thing," Franklin said..

"The other thing is, we can't wear white at home. There's NCAA rules. We can't show up and wear whatever we want to wear. We would have to get permission from the opposing team to allow us (to) wear white, and I would never do that for anybody else, so we haven't even kind of gone that route."

When Penn St hosted SMU in the opening round CFP game, SMU wore all white - jersey, pants, helmet. It was a daylight game. It was PSU's second white-out game of the 2024 season.

I love it. A little "Raideresque"like our winning the B1G championship.

Plus, it's very threatening, 'the curse of the mummy' and all that.

Mummy Duck shoes, wraps, etc.

In a 'white out' no less.

I think this is brilliant.

Everyone wear GREEN.

GO Ducks. Kill the Lion!

I was hoping for all yellow. I'm worried our white jerseys will blend in with the crowd and make it hard to find our receivers down field. But, by same token, maybe the db's will have a hard time finding our receivers too!

IMHO, this different uniform per game business just makes it a little bit harder for us to play and win. No matter what, each player has to add a nano second to process, at least early in the game. Why is it a good thing, especially nowadays there are so many other ways to show that we have uncle Phil? 😁

Not in love with the uniform.

Glow in the dark? When will the lights go out?

I'm fine with this. I don't understand the blending in with the fans in the stands thing. The fans are up above.

Subconsciously it will seem all those people in white are cheering for us, because just like at home, the fans are wearing the color of our team's uniform.

There are lots of people that claim the whiteout is more intimidating than a regular game, but I'm not sure. I think it amps up the away team to see such a clean beautiful atmosphere AND have them wearing your color.

Like last year at Wisconsin, Lanning’s approach to dealing with super charged atmospheres is to limit the emotional affect of color, and go with the business suit (white shirt, black suit) look that keeps the focus away from appearance and the team’s mental focus on execution.

As ugly as PSU unis are I love to see plenty of yellow and green
