Someone start a poll. .

It looks great on tv. It improves atmosphere. It's a recruiting tool for both athletic and non athletic types. It's not just the product on the field that sells. It's the players, coaches, administration, fans, stadium, atmosphere. It's the whole picture. They're not asking you stand at the player walk through handing out $100 handshakes. They're asking you to participate in a harmless event that as a side effect could impact our image in a positive light.


You're all grown adults. Wear what you want. I know we're all special little snowflakes but it doesn't hurt to blend in every once in a while.

But it's not every once it a while. It used to be every once in a while. The last few years, they tell you what to wear EVERY DAMN GAME. And I'm not wearing non-MSU apparel to a game, and I'm not buying a white or black MSU polo that I'm going to wear once a year. I'm just not going to do it, and I don't give a damn what missouridawg thinks about how I choose to spend my money. I'll play along with a warm weather white-out and wear my white dri-fit shirt, but other than that, I'm wearing maroon. And anyone who thinks that makes me a bad fan is just ignorant.

It's aesthetically pleasing to the senses. You were initially attracted to your significant other because they appealed to you aesthetically. You chose to stay with them because of everything they had to offer. It's human nature. How much something appeals to your senses impacts your decisions on a daily basis. It's not the only reason you make a decision but it has influence. That's how it effects the atmosphere and recruiting.

Colors. No doubt. It's not hard, at all. It also shows support and organization for the team people allegedly are there to see.

People spend $100 on a ticket for the game, gas, food, booze and maybe something else on the trip/experience, but won't spend $15-$20 for a t shirt of a certain color? Or is it more of the "don't tell me what to do, you're not my diddy" attitude?

Either way gtfo

I disagree. I prefer the look of seeing maroon and white haphazardly scattered throughout the stadium with no set pattern. As I have said, everytime I see a school doing this on TV I think it looks dumb.
