Why have we only done "whiteouts" at Apogee? I know there were like half-assed attempts at blackouts in 2018 and 17 but if you're going to do a color scheme for fans why not make it green or black or at least mix it up? Meh. We did this already.

Gagree....its lame. I imagine we'll wear the worms again though which is nice.

Typically, college home teams wear a colored jersey.  The visiting team will usually wear white.  So we’re going to show up appearing to support the “white” team.  From across the stadium or on TV no one can read what’s on your white shirt.  
 

“The Demons sure brought a lot of fans with them today, Bob.  I didn’t know they traveled so well.”

ANY SHADE OF GREEN IS GREEN.

Amazing.  A team called Mean Green wants to have a “white out.”

So you think instead of "singing Glory to the Green, singing Glory to the White" we should be

"singing Glory to the Green, singing Glory to the" Green?

That doesn't rhyme with "right".

I would feel comfortable with the assumption that we will wear white since this is a white out.  

You all are missing a great benefit.  Usually, games this time of the year are extremely warm.  Make the visiting team wear dark colors, stand in the sun, etc.

I As pointed out above, other home teams have demonstrated white outs before.

I also think we tried green-outs years ago at Fouts, and we had a number of fans vocal about how awful it is, because you can clearly see all the different shades of green from across different eras.  Demonstrates how bad we were at official colors/consistency from one AD or team to the next.

"Any shade of green is green" is not true.

TX heat, other home stadiums wear white, and we can be consistent with the color.  Seems to make sense.

Either the worms or the all-white throwbacks from the HBU game. I am a huge fan of either. The uniform is not my gripe - I absolutely adore our variety of great uniforms. Just the measly attempts at crowd color coordination.

I assume we will wear white as well like we did last year vs HBU
