With the new black alternative uniforms being worn for the LSU game, is there any news on whether this will be a "Black Out" game? Requesting everyone to wear black, doesn't seem like a tough ask.

I don't own any black Aggie shirts and won't buy one either. I'm all over the idea of a white out or a maroon out game. I'm pretty sure those are A&M's colors.

I'm not a fan of alternate uniforms. Wear the school colors!

Or we could just stay with maroon and not try an embarraing gimmick like Utah State, Louisville, Arizona State, Rutgers, Marshall, Nevada, Ohio, Baylor, NC State, Oklahoma State, and Tennesee. (Georgia, Maryland, and Iowa are exempted from this list since black is actually a predominate school color.)

On the plus side, we would inevitablly get this unintentional comedy from the administration:
ASU asks fans to not paint faces before 'blackout' game

There are people who unfortunately don't wear maroon to Maroon Out games. If the team is wearing black, I would say for at least that game, black is an alternate color of ours.

Why would we "Black Out" a game when black is our opponent's color and not ours?

One thing I did appreciate about the Jimbo era was the absence of the stupid alternate uniforms (sans the throwbacks, those were pretty sweet) of the Sumlin era.

I'll be blacked out by the end of that game I suspect.

We have been, just alternates of our own colors.

Btw, black is not a color.

It's the absence of color.

Black is certainly a predominate school color for Okie State. Orange and black are their colors.

Black isn't conveyed by light but the lack of reflection of light. But what do you call what you put on a piece of paper that causes that? Calling it black is the typical color we teach kids along with other colors. Saying dye or pigment is notionally accurate, but also is pedantic and doesn't help us name the shade or hue accurately.

If you have worked with printing you know the K in CMYK is a black pigment ink on a press or a printer. Your ink jet has a K ink. Laser printers that offer color also use a black toner.

Nothing quite like the experience of a mid or late afternoon end of summer 100 degree game in a packed stadium in direct sunlight wearing all black.

Oops, you are right. I thought it was orange and white but to be fair, I haven't thought about Oklahoma State in about 12 years.

Why wear Black??!! An alternate color? An alternate color to WHAT??!! If A&M wants to wear another color other that Maroon and White then change the school colors to black.

"We;ve got to fight for the Back and Black"! Ridiculous? No, it's insane, leave the damn colors alone!!!!!!!

Who's the nut case that up with this idea???!!!

I will not watch this game!!!!!

I have both a black A&M baseball and football shirt. Good tshirts and I like the looks of them. That being said we should not wear black as a uniform. Not our colors and zero reason to look like a team we are not. Not a good idea.

Yea. I think, last I checked that's our national flag colors and we had just been sucker punched by a bunch of cowards and a bunch of Americans had just died.
It was a display of patriotism.

How anybody could make a comparison?
