I can sort of understand it as far as Boise is concerned -- Oregon's green (which varies) isn't exactly the same color as their field.

So...if the helmet were a different color, we'd be fine?

nope - no pant/jersey combos same as the field so no more all-greens. Who cares but it will irk the donks so I think that's funny. Quack1 wrote: So...if the helmet were a different color, we'd be fine? |

Next, the NCAA will require all football players to painted their faces bright red so that they will stand out.
They got this idea from Congress which keeps the members busy on slow days with nothing to do.....

I look at it as saying you can't wear uniforms that are the same color as the field.. and I don't think our green is the same color green as our field so I'm not sure it would effect us. But, it's really just one of those things we'd have to wait and see how they interpret it. Even if we couldn't wear all green.. we have plenty of other combos to choose from. |

The NCAA should quit beating around the bush and just make a rule that fields must be green. These alternate colored fields (Blue field at Boise, Red field at Eastern Washington, etc.) are a complete joke.
For the record, I'll also throw our basketball court into that group as well. Not a fan at all.

Ducks need a color rain, fog, and sky, duck black takes care of night.
The players don't seem to think it has an effect, the primary reason is
the only time they see the turf is when face planted. Boise fan when confronted with the blue on blue always resorts to "What about teams that wear green!"
ironic if Oregon can only wear green if their turf is blue.

Boise State chose to wear blue jerseys, blue pants, and blue helmets in the same color shade as the field. As a result, in 2011 the Mountain West Conference mandated that BSU could not wear the combo for Mt. West games in Boise. The NCAA is now joining the requirement. Part of the uniform must be a contrasting color. So, they could wear blue jerseys and orange pants. Similarly, Oregon could wear green jerseys and yellow or gray pants. Oregon is not the only team with green as a color that will be affected: Michigan State, Baylor, Tulane, Colorado State, South Florida, and Marshall are a few others. Boise brought this on themselves: 25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp2...lwkpho1_500.jpg |

shirts and skins in pickup b-ball....skins have an advantage because their naked man boobs distract the shirts team from playing to their complete defensive ability.

I've wondered that years ago when BSU wore all blues how they blend in to the field. I was surprised this didn't happen years ago. --------------------------------------------- --- DuckBoy73 wrote: Boise State chose to wear blue jerseys, blue pants, and blue helmets in the same color shade as the field.

and the field view? The question is does it effect the opposition (who is not sitting on the top row of the bleachers)? The teams that have played there don't seem to think so.
This rule was dropped by the MWC for the 2013 season.
"The school said the conference also agreed not to impose uniform restrictions on Boise State. So the Broncos can go back to wearing blue while playing on its blue-turf home field."
fairness of the game has nothing to do with this. Its all about TV.

Well, I guess that the obvious was inevitable.
Oregon will soon be the first football program to have a variety of turf colors. Think of the possibilities and varied color combinations, not to mention all of the threads asking "what will the turf color be this week?"

The Mt. West dropped the blue rule as a carrot to get BSU back from the Big East. Suspect they also knew it was in the rule hopper for the NCAA soon which would make it unnecessary as a seperate Mt. West rule.
The issue at Boise isn't that they wear blue, it is the color of blue that they wear, which caused visiting teams to complain. The color is too close to the color of the field.
Guess I'm old fashioned, but I don't like any of these high school or college fields in blue, red, black, orange, etc. It simply is irritating to watch, but also conveys a junior high attitude. It's akin to a young lady wearing a push up bra because she doesn't yet have the real assets.

Re: No More Home Green Uni's for Oregon???
I have posted several times about green on green being an Oregon advantage not used enough. Camouflage is a big advantage for DBs. I remember that Civil War game with the fog a few years ago where the DBs were invisible. Just about every other OSU pass was a pick.

Eastern Washington will be even more pissed off than Boise. Have you seen pictures from their games with all the RED?

RE: history?
Historically the term home whites referred to major league baseball jerseys worn at home. The visiting teams wore gray supposedly because they didn't have laundry facilities on the road.
College basketball teams wear light jerseys at home. For example, Oregon wore white and yellow in the two games this past weekend while the visitors wore dark jerseys.
Not sure how football ended up with dark jerseys as the color for home games when baseball and basketball were just the opposite??
If the NCAA wanted a BSU-neutral policy they could just mandate that home teams must wear light color jerseys at home, and dark jerseys in road games.
But, most schools prefer the dominant color for football home games: green vs yellow, cardinal vs white, purple vs gold, orange/black vs white, blue vs gold, scarlet red vs white, etc.
