I hate the white shoes. Maybe that goes back to the 1979 Alabama Sugar Bowl game. But I do like the numbers on the helmets.
Still no pink and black uniforms. Bummer.
Yea, I don't get the "tradition" of including white shoes. The one and only time that PSU has worn white shoes was in the biggest game in the program's history (the first true shot at a NC) and they lost the game.
I was at the indinia throwback game a few years ago. Remember Barkley’s one-handed catch where he stopped on a dime to avoid a defender and then turned on the jets in an instance? Ridiculous.
I like the numbers on the helmets as well and dare I say...gray face masks. 🤣
But black shoes....always black shoes.
I think the throwback uniforms are overdone at this point. White shoes are a bad memory and not really part of our history. I do like the numbers on the helmets though and would support them as part of the permanent uniform.
I think an occasional modern alternate uniform would be a cool idea though. All blue for example. Not every year and not for a big game.

When you became a Penn Stater, you accepted the gift/responsibility to honor & preserve our traditions & legacy.

I'm with you, I love the kits and the white cleats. I'll always be a fan of white cleats, the thing that really sets this uniform off are the gray facemasks though. If there is one thing that could transfer to our current uniform, the gray facemask would be it for me.
It's like deja vu all over again

UGH Anyone who has worn those rues the day they were on your feet. Ours were SpotBilt, but they look exactly the same. I have really wide feet and had to cram them into those monstrosities. I've never had anything hurt my feet so bad before or since.
Other than being stepped on by a DT wearing them
If we want to do a throwback, we have to go back to royal blue. People seem to forget that Paterno was responsible for the most drastic change to the uniform. He changed the color from a royal blue to a navy blue in the late 60s. Here's a pic where the stripe & number on the helmet are navy while the jersey was still royal. 11/2/1968.
You just gave me a flashback to my first pair of cleats. I was in fourth grade playing peewee football and got a cheap pair from Hills. I think they cost about $2. They hurt my feet and made me slow. Luckily I somehow came across a pair of hand-me-down Pumas. They were so comfortable.
Does anyone know if white shoes had anything to do with the loss?
Almost as ugly as our offense.

These look like BYU unis that got spoiled in a wash machine.
They sucked… much like the team today.A full breakdown of Penn State’s alternate ‘generations of greatness’ uniform
