🏈 Having dealt with its impact on my family, I certainly support the cause: BUT, pink uniforms in foo

To each his own with their opinion, right? I don't see clear evidence any side of this discussion is wrong.

However, risking repeating myself:

Does anyone see the "cart before the horse" here?

Here's the three new looks Adidas introduces for Miss. State.

And then, after the fact, "Oh, by the way, the pink is for..."

From a different point of view...

How many are you are familiar with the adage, "know you audience?"

Power of Pink does really well with women's sports. It's a great fund-raising effort we've had in Tuscaloosa for years now. So far, I've seen nothing that tells me this is a concerted effort to support those fund-raising efforts.

IF SO, they have my support despite an awful choice.

(Slightly off topic: Am I the only one who thinks these jersey's look like their maroon color but they happened to run into a wash cycle filled with bleach?)

My only qualm was with making it into a political thing somehow.

Planomateo is absolutely right, though: we certainly gave Mississippi State what they wanted, a talking point! Whether you agree with it or not, they can do whatever they want, and if by some chance it may 'raise awareness' or make themselves feel better about something, go for it. It's an experiment, that's for sure. And whatever color they wear, all that matters is how they play on the field.

I actually thought the same thing re: the jersey colors .. When I think "pink", I don't think of that shade. It looks like a college freshman's first attempt at mixing colors ..


Besides pink, what is the most OUT THERE jersey color(s) you have ever seen? :bluebiggrin: I once saw a hideous bright orange shade (downright neon) on some high schoolers in North Carolina once. My eyes nearly bled!

You hit it in your post a bit ago: the neon yellow Oregon wears on occasion. One weekend last fall I told Howard I longed for the days when there were black and white TV's. As much as I wanted to watch one of the Oregon games, I couldn't bear it—and in HD?

Here's one more thing to consider here:

Let's assume this is a legitimate effort to raise funds for breast cancer awareness.

How much awareness will a Miss. State game bring?

Are they going to wear these jersey's in the Egg Bowl?

What about at homecoming?

An SEC game? OK, that'll get some views but then we have the issue just how many people are going to watch a Miss. State game. If we're honest, we'll readily admit they aren't Saturday afternoon material and the chances of them landing the prime-time spot on a Saturday night broadcast on ESPN? ONLY if they are playing a team like LSU. But then, are they going to wear those jersey's when they are getting their 15 seconds of fame on national TV?
