Actually, Mizzou wore all ‘gold’ (see: yellow) back in the ’60’s.

Unfortunately, that old saying comes into play: Some things are better left in the past.

In this case, some things are better left in the past. Leave the mustard yellow in the past Mizzou/Nike. I’ll root for you regardless, but is this really going to help uni sales? Let’s keep to the more intimidating color scheme of all-black with gold as the secondary coloring. They don’t really have to look like Tigers (see: LSU, Clemson and Memphis which don’t even use Tiger color color-schemes).

Using a uni scheme that you have never used before against a rival that you are supposed to beat.

Yeah, there is NO WAY this will end badly.

I didn’t see CMU last night. But those all yellow Mizzou uniforms remind of Cal’s horrendous Fire Hydrant uniform scheme.

ASU aparently went “all banana” twice in either 1989 or 1990, losing both games to USC and Arizona. Legend has it the uniforms were a laughing stock on both sides of the stadium and they were scrapped immediately.

So Mizzou, if it’s not too late, Don’t. You might end up losing to Arizona, and that’s a fate no one wants.

Someone needs to tell Nike to stop using football players as walking queer advertising signs.

You know that college football has entered bizarro world when the first coach that comes up when discussing food and bright colors is Mangino. It’s like Coach Fulmer is already gone (sniff).

In related news, the Krispy Kreme by my place just went out of business. I guess they figured that Phil won’t have his usual paycheck to drop at the KK counter.

The glare from the lights in the CMU game made their jerseys look white at times. That gets kind of confusing when the other team is wearing white.
