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”.

How many people on here own a gold (yellow) jersey?
My Dad won a Brandon Grier jersey from an auction a few (several) years ago. I believe that jersey is gold, or App’s version of Gold which is that brighter yellow color. Think it was from the lower level FCS opponent that year but I don’t remember whom. Maybe Jacksonville? The mighty dolphins?

Sounds like a black shirt with a gold Mr. T starter set. I pity the fool!

When your social media doesn’t have the market penetration and friends don’t let other friends know, it’s an issue.

It really shouldn’t be that difficult.

So here is a plan, if I could get a trademark pass, I’ll go design and print 10,000 yellow (gold) App shirts and set up shot outside of the stadium. If I could get them at an all in price of $1.50 per shirt, I’d sell them for $5 a piece. Boom, stadium is all wearing the same shirts.


Now, my idea is exactly what the University should do, and why advanced planning of these color outs are so important.

You are right! It should not be that difficult. Go get a gold t-shirt and wear it to the game. Anyone who doesn’t get the message or doesn’t have a gold shirt at the game? Perhaps we (App State) could have one available. Advanced planning for anything is of course paramount.

Except, there's not a gold out planned. Just some fans that want to have one.

That is the main issue for this. Those not on a message board/x won't do it and part of those that do see it won't do it, especially since it isn't suggested by the administration.

I think it would need to be something planned before the season to have any chance at success. I have plenty of gold for any time they want to have one.

Yeah a longer lead time for it would give it more chance of success.
