Yeah I like it. Also think a black jersey next season JUST for the ISU game would be cool.

A purchasable black BU jersey would be an instant buy for me.Originally posted by thefish7 View PostComment

Too busy golfing to sit around a pool, but just for you Dogs I'll wear my black Bradley golf shirt on game day. That's the game I miss most.Originally posted by dogsrus View PostMY sugestion is to relax and have some fun
......I think the blackout is a GREAT idea. The coaches often wear black as part of their travel ensemble when they are on the road. Plus my other half bought me a cool black long sleeve BU shirt years ago I never get to wear at the games.
I recall South Padre was "men in black"....and I've seen it elsewhere.
They do these things to show team unity....and the FANS (us) are part of that team.
Have some fun, where black and see what the arena looks like. Besides...I have seen some of your popcorn eating Beer drinkin, nacho sloppin fat buttes in the stands. For ONE night you can actually look thinner and have the ole lady actually CLEAN your stain soaked Red sweatshirt for the first time this year.
THAT and it will make those lame arse ISU fans that make the trip over REALLY stick out like the LOSERS they are.
The ONLY problem is compliance. 40% of the 7000 fans will NOT go along with it. Wait...this is ISU....its geting to be OUR annual sellout......
Chico...I understand its TOO hot in Arizona for black but maybe you can dump those tighty whitey's for a night and don that black speedo you wear around the pool.What part of illegal don't you understand?Comment

I agree with this. --especially for the ISU game.Originally posted by Chico View Post
The black,red,white outs were nice a couple of years ago, but the novelty has worn off. If we do a game promotion, it is time to do something new.Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final

When was the last time we did a black out? Oh that's right, this is our first ever black-out promotion. Time for something new already though? How bout giving this one a chance and just wear black to the game?Originally posted by Beninator View PostComment

Maybe this is the first step towards becoming the Bradley Black Bears

Is BU listening? It sounds like we have an opportunity here to auction of BU uniforms from the "Black Out" game vs. ISU next year. For this to work though, we need to win this year's game first, which will help create momentum for next year's bigger promotion.Originally posted by thefish7 View Post
I'm still mad, I lost out on all my bids for the last batch of BU jerseys.Comment

I agree the novelty has worn off. However, as loyal as the BU core fanbase is, I have been very surprised this year how small the participation has been in the whiteout/redout thing. Take a look at Creighton and Illinois. Near 100% participation in the past, and I don't believe they necessarily always provide the shirt.
The only one I can remember being even close was BU vs MSU. Do Illinois and Creighton have more involved/committed fans than Bradley?Compete. Defend. Rebound. Win.Comment

If you check my previous posts in other threads, I'm a big supporter of doing a black-out with the team wearing a black 3rd uniform. I think that would be better but this is a start.Originally posted by Beninator View PostSame promotion with a different color.....
It is getting old and should not be needed for the ISU game! I like the special jersey for the players for a big games though.
Exactly... Last game was not much of a white out.
If I remember right, the times the red/white outs worked best was when the shirts were already placed on the seats before everyone arrived, so why not try that this year?Comment

Imagine if our guys did run on the court in black jerseys this year, SURPRISE! then I bet the crowd would get into the black out spirit.Comment

Maybe I make TOO much an issue of it but I cringe when I see people in suits or a green shirt at the game. I just wish everyone would wear red. I understand some don't think it makes a difference and its just what happens on the court but I STRONGLY disagree.
I think the fans can send a message and having a sea of red can be somewhat intimidating to the visitors. Look at that MSU game....was THAT an awesome atmosphere or what.
Why can't we have that for the Valley games which are TEN times more importaint then MSU was?
I think recruits see it also and think...WOW what a great place, look at the crowd, they really are involved.Comment
