Penn State uniform changes include names on jerseys

STATE COLLEGE - Players' names are being added to Penn State's football jerseys for the coming season, the university announced Tuesday, along with blue ribbons to show support for victims of child abuse.
The team's generic look - blue-and-white, no names on jerseys - has long been a trademark and was associated with the buttoned-down style of former coach Joe Paterno, who was fired last year after his former assistant Jerry Sandusky was arrested on child molestation charges.

School officials said adding the names was a way to recognize the "resolve and dedication" of the players, as the team faces a four-year bowl ban and loss of scholarships under the severe penalties handed down by the NCAA last month over the school's handling of the Sandusky scandal.

The changes will take effect with the Sept. 1 season opener at home against Ohio University.

I think the NCAA should make Penn State wear gawdy uniforms for these next 4 years. Like Oregon, but blue and white. And gray and black and silver and matte....

..and carbon fiber.

And make the Lion wear a sailor cap like Oregon does with their mascot.

They should have to wear pink jerseys with pink skirts, and no pads. Nothing is too extreme to send a message to schools that child sex abuse is BAD!

I'm thinking the bleeding of (eventually) hundreds of millions of dollars is going to send them more of a message than the pink uniforms.
