Anyone know when they are going to announce what color each section is going to be for the "stripe out" game against Rutgers?
Rutgers game "stripe out"..

Ah, ok. Didn't realize that. I thought we needed to wear whatever color was assigned to our section.
Probably nothing to the university. The back of the shirt would be covered in sponsors. A plain shirt is like 40 cents max anyway.
Maybe, if you're buying them directly from the factory overseas, and overlook the child labor involved, and get a shirt that will fall apart by the fourth quarter. More likely they're going to pay around $2 per shirt, or more. And that's assuming they have a contact to go direct.
Still, selling ads on the back is a good idea, hadn't thought of that.
Guess you haven't been to a game in a while. Everything is plastered with ads. Half of the new jumbo screens are ads. Ads ads ads.
That's what they did for the basketball game against Purdue last year. The one thing I'm sure of is that all the shirts will be small or medium because all PSU fans are petite.....
The cost of doing it for the number of people at a basketball game doesn't compare to even a 90% full Beaver Stadium. LOL
I got the gig! They're buying 110,000, poor quality, expensive t-shirts from Fairgambit World Enterprises for only $500.00 per shirt. Geeze my supplier in Mongolia is at a yak festival so I hope he can deliver on time. Right now I just have 11 shirts, which will only be enough for the Rutgers fans in attendance.

The revenue at s basketball game doesn't compare either. My tickets for the Rutgers game cost $115. Multiply that by attendance, add parking, concessions, etc.
T shirts probably cost $2 in that quantity. The whiteout shakers probably cost 25 cents. Does anybody know what other schools do?
I have never received a white shirt for any previous white out games. Why would they change this now and give free T-shirts?
I doubt that trying to get 107,000 people to wear the right colored shirt would work.
I'm good with the white out because it's really a Penn State thing, but if the stripe out is planned, I imagine this will look pretty cool at night too. I'm looking forward to being at the game and could care less what a tee shirt costs. I can wear whatever they want.
White Out or Stripe Out...Penn State will win in a Blow Out.
The stripe-out will look cool, but I don't like the idea. For one thing, Penn State does the whiteout. They don't need a second look. Second, it's only ru. There is no reason to make it out to be a big game. It's just ru. Obviously Penn State is thinking of appearances on TV, but it's still just ru.
So, we're going to have 107k changing in the stands just before kickoff on a hot September night? Yeah, ok.
I still say it's not going to be shirts, it's going to be a construction paper type, and you're just going to hold it up at certain times so they can get there stripe out photo op.
