The only way to accomplish a color out is to provide shirt on every seat.

We don't have the communication or fanbase that pays attention to these things to execute a gold out.
35,000 (including temp bleachers) x $10?/shirt = $350k

Or just GOLD LED the lights for $500k and turn everyone GOLD whenever you want!!!! (after 4pm).

(This is a joke I know it’s not happening)

Get a business or businesses to sponsor the shirts and it will pay for itself.

As for the lights, I think they’ll be a hit with our environmental folks. I just think they’ll look cool.

I go gold when it's hot/warm and black when it's colder. Home or Away, regardless of the "whatever" out. Guess I'll blend in next week. 8-)

Not that Boise does it better, but they had a plan for all six games before the season started. Stripes by section, white out for App, etc.

It's really simple to do via the website (if you are in to that sort of thing). https://broncosports.com/documents/2025 ... h=football

At Boise, they had racks of white shirts available for sale outside of the stadium for their fan white out, and they handed out white rally towels in the parking lot instead of strewing them across seats.

If the players call for a fan gold out, I believe 95% of fans will follow. But they're concentrated on Georgia State first.

That first point is key, and I feel like App has done that in the past. People need time to buy a new shirt or whatever to prepare for stuff like this.

To me, this thread is part of the reason we lack traditions. We don’t have the ability to get everyone on the same page for something a simple as “yellow out”.
