If JMU actually does this, it will NOT be a first for college football. Not too long ago, New Mexico State wore pink unis to support breast cancer research and took a ton of heat for it. I, of course, applauded them.

Not something I would wear every day, mind you, but for a good cause, anything would be fair game except purple and gold (that only because I can't stand Tokay High).

EDIT: BTW, the only guy who can get away with wearing pink on a daily basis is Bret Hart. :lmao:

What's your point? Seriously, there has to be some reason for this nugget of knowledge you bestowed upon us, but I just can't place my finger in it...

Not exactly. It was more like the pink accessories NFL does.

Purple and Punk together would be quite the color clash.

And?

That's Iowa trying to mess with the Psyche of the opposing team, this is JMU doing it to themselves. Plus, the locker room is out of view of everyone.


Just got this from someone inside the JMU Athletic Department, a crude rendering of the Duke Dog for UMass game. For those faint of heart, avert your eyes

If pink out equals bottomless female cheerleaders this could be interesting :nod:

I see a couple of reasons for this:

1-the breast cancer awareness
2-money. JMU now gets to create and market and sell tons of pink JMU gear.


I would also add that quite a few D1 basketball teams have done "pink outs" this past season.

We tried that last season. 60-70% of the women did it. No men. :lol: :lol: No chance for a pink out unless you only admit women.
