Speaking of what we're wearing tomorrow, my wife is unfortunately in a medical walking boot due to an ankle injury. She has decorated it appropriately for game day. You'll have to scroll bar on the right side to see the entire boot. Probably only going to be one of these looking like this at the stadium tomorrow, so if you see it, stop us and say hello.

That's disappointing. Easily my least favorite look out of all of our combinations. We wore this last year at Buffalo. I didn't mind our all white look from a couple years ago (essentially had orange where we now have brown), but the brown shoulder patches and brown chest and back numbers on our white jersey suck on this year's jersey (and last year's - same style). It looks cheap, crappy and boring. I LOVE our orange jersey! Yes I know we can't wear that on the road tomorrow, but the mix of colors looks very good on that one and they got that combination right. Easily the best mix of where to put what color where. I think the brown jersey is decent, but again, don't like the shoulder patches. I really hope we get a revised look next year. I love that we are now a Nike school, but whether Nike designed our look or if it was someone at BG, it needs to go back to the drawing board.
GO BG!!!

I like the stormtrooper look. I like other combinations, too. (Orange pants on the road look good, for example.) But stormtrooper is good.

Disagree. I wouldn't mind tweaks. The lettering is a little odd. But, overall, the current look is pretty good. I really like that we can mix and match colors and come up with combinations that make everyone happy on at least some weekends. I also like that we use brown liberally.

Don't like the all white look...looks like a Klan rally

I always felt wearing a bright orange jersey might help the QB spot his receivers a split second faster. And wear that with white pants. That would look cool. Cool like an orange creamsicle.
