Isn't white a primary color for ODU? Guess we want them to feel welcomed

It has Long been my opinion, that every home Saturday should be black Saturday. And on each of those days every fan should be encouraged to wear black.

I'm fine with wearing black and/or gold for home. But not white. That's not an App State color.

I'm one of the 90% of App Nation with 0 white App gear and 0 intention to ever buy white App gear no matter what special announcements those clueless marketing people make.

There have been plenty of terrible ideas, and App Football wearing white at home quite possibly, is one of the dumbest ideas. It's an all timer.

Dumb idea. Smacks of needing to copy every gimmick day anyone has ever done. And I'm one who loved the gold unis.

NO! NO! A thousand times NO! Black is the appropriate color for every home game. This is a terrible idea. If anyone in the athletic department reads this board, please kill this whiteout nonsense now.

I will NEVER wear white APP gear. Black at all times and Black uniforms at home. If they want this stunt to fail this is how to do it.

Ok everyone go to the Athletic website and email Gillen and the Yosef Club. It is a terrible idea. I will not wear white and I will tell them

Come on Phil!

Sorry just one of my favorite scenes and felt it humorous for the situation, but in all seriousness App State wears black on Saturdays at The Rock and I'll be wearing black every home game.

They've been wanting to unite the fanbase. Looks like they've found a way to do just that.

Like others, Black or Gold is okay for home (preferably Black) but White? No way...

You replaced my black end zones with green end zones with what resembles a letterhead....for the love of God please let us have black uniforms at home.

I am one of the few App State fans that owns a white shirt. I wear it to the gym and that's about it. App hardly even sells anything white. It's all grey, black, or gold/yellow.
