I can’t speak for other Wolfpackers who are in their 60s, but to me the black uniforms are more of a fad than they are tradition, and tradition is a big thing with us long-time fans. What is wrong with us wearing the red and white?
Yes, the uniforms look snazzy, but they aren’t OUR traditional colors. They never will BE our traditional colors.
If we had been winning all these past years since Sheridan departed, you would not see this attempt to blot out these unpleasant years with a new look (color). And make no mistake about it, that’s what this is about. Erase the memories of the past 25 years.
What we really need is a new direction, not a new color. We might be wearing black this Saturday and every Saturday this fall, but unless something drastic happens over the course of this season, it’ll be the same old story- a big-budget school in a power conference, trying to move up into the elite class, but struggling just to get past mid-major schools and stay out of the conference cellar.
