I'm an old man and the all orange look great. Not sure why everyone hates it. Be bold, all orange is a great look on occasion.

I hope we play half as good as that looks. :thumb:
BLUE!!
Amazing what happens when you incorporate blue with the white and orange. Adds some nice balance and makes the orange numbers pop a lot more.

I could agree with that. I think we need to pick one helmet and wear it 95% of the time.

I'm not at all a fan of blue and white, but they did a good job with it.
I also really dislike Penn State's uniforms, but I think the orange accents help make it look better.
BLUE!!
Got to say, the blue helmet looks sweet!
So has there ever been an answer why there are no blue tops or pants? Given the date these designs were rolled out it's crazy to me you wouldn't have all the components Aug 1.

While I have little hope we can stay within 30 of Wisconsin, at least we'll look better than them.

Can't help but think the first time we see O/B/O, we're going to wonder why we tried all of these other combos. I know that won't happen this year. The whites occasionally are nice.
It's sad that this is the only thing on the field that is remotely interesting.

Totally agree. I love the new all-whites on the road (and B/W/W also looks pretty sharp), but there's no reason to wear anything except the classic orange-blue-orange at home.
I'd like us to have three "primary" uniforms:
Home - O/B/O (traditional, unique)
Away - B/W/B or O/W/O (Looks good, i think all white every game is too much and not "us")
Alternate - W/O/W (Seems to be everyone's favorite look incorporating orange, we've just worn it out a little early this season)
From these you could occasionally do something crazy, but I personally think a little consistency would be nice. I also still really like the idea of wearing W/O/W early at home and then going O/B/O once big ten play starts or the weather cools off. While LSU and a few NFL teams kind of do the reverse of this with jerseys, nobody has a totally different look for weather including pants and helmets.

Can someone explain the lamp thing to me?
It can't be explained. You either get it or you don't. I'm sorry.
Gee thanks
