For FSU, how do we make the OU fans wear white happen??
This was so cool when we traveled to Alabama. It makes the most sense when we play a team with similar colors.
Who do I have to email, get a petition going, anything. This needs to be endorsed by the school at the beginning of the season so that the word gets out there. All ideas welcome.

What kind of white shirt are you going to wear? I want to make sure we match.

It doesn't really matter, especially to you if you aren't going. but It looks cool and comes across great on TV. To me it shows a school that a fan base has got it together. It was just a cool feeling being at Alabama, and everyone for OU was in white.
See the last couple seconds of this video.

Just wear your "I'm a Buzzkill" shirt and I'll buy one to match. Or you can loan me of yours. ;)

I always wear a white coaches polo for away games. It was pretty cool at Bama game, but what I remember was how loud the "home of the Sooners!" was at an away game. The Bama fans around me were not pleased.

Forgot about that, that was awesome. Two Bama dudes in front of us said "What the hell was THAT?!"

Well, I see your message and we'll wear white. I think it's good.
You might start by contacting Joe C's office to see if they are considering a push to do something like that. Maybe the PR department will pick it up. Haven't they done it in the recent past? Folks do it for Coale & Company games (pink for cancer research) and for Thunder (but don't they have tees on every chair?). Most fans wear crimson to the RRS, too. It's worth a try!
Besides, while I'm not one that feels any noticeable difference between the dry heat there at home and the humid heat here in FL - many of y'all will probably be more comfortable in white/cream than in crimson.

I think that at the end of the national anthem we should all scream "home of the SEMINOLES!" and freak the hell out of the home crowd. :pop:

I don't have any white OU shirts. Since I am going to be there, I will have to get my wife and I new shirts before the game.

You can't really get a petition to make people wear white t-shirts, but I like it. The youtube video shows how awesome it can be if done right.

2 weeks ago, emailed everyone who seemed right to email or would know who to forward to, from administration to the ticket office and didn't receive one damn response. Not even one, "sounds like a good idea we'll see what we can do.". Pretty disappointing.

Re: For FSU, how do we make the OU fans wear white happen??
Do we know if the visiting section @ the Doak is all together? At Bryant-Denny, we were split up. w/OU fans in both EZ's.
I realize this would be nearly impossible but I'd carry it one step further and have everyone wear white away jerseys with the #12 and BOX across the back.
See you in Tally!

You need to write to the student paper. Either as an opinion or an email to the editor, but you'll probably have to wait until school is in session.

Just emailed every OU alumni club that was
Listed on the main site. That took awhile to click into each one and copy and paste the email address.
Got 21 auto bounce backs for bad emails, but that means it went through to over 80 clubs. Hopefully that helps.
Officials in the University of Oklahoma Athletics Department are encouraging the 7,000 Sooner faithful headed to Alabama this weekend to wear white.
Both the Sooners and the Crimson Tide claim crimson as a primary color. A switch to white will distinguish the visiting OU fans from the home Alabama fans.
"Actually, our true colors are crimson and cream so I guess we need to dig out the cream-colored shirts," said OU Athletics Director Joe Castiglione. "A contrasting lighter color will allow us to identify ourselves to each other and to our team. We want to make sure the players feel the support of the OU fans who will be there."
OU Associate Vice President Tripp Hall said, "This game features two great universities with storied football traditions. When OU takes the field on Saturday, we want the Sooners in Tuscaloosa to be distinguished among the sea of Crimson Tide fans. It will be a great representation of the unity of the Sooner Nation and the great fans we have here at OU."
OU and Alabama kickoff at 6:47 p.m., Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Ala. For those unable to make the trip, the game will be aired on both ESPN television and the Sooner Radio Network.

Ask everyone, no, demand that everyone where crimson, and they will wear white instead. It works every time.
