Okay now I see it, the green sleeves threw me off. I saw the rest of it as dark green instead of black, it must have been the contrast. And maybe color blind wasn't the proper term. I always fail those tests at the doctors when it comes to differentiating contrasts, but obviously I don't know what I'm deficient in. Because I clearly can't see it lol.

Why do so many schools want black uni's? Are they cheaper?? Just a fad???

I think they are a fad. We have black uniforms but had them before they became popular and because the athletic department uses black as a school color.

I'm not a fan of the Cal POly uniforms green sleeves. I think the 'stealth' style uniform looks much better.

Here is an example from Vandy. http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/vanderbilt-football/vanderbilt-debuts-all-black-uniforms/

The players go nuts. 18 to 22 year old players love them. I talked to the Cal Poly AD and he said there has not been a single year since he has been at Cal Poly that he has not been visited multiple times by groups of players begging him for Black uniforms. I guess he finally gave in.

They also have the same style jerseys that are Green with Gold sleeves with a white stripe. I like them.

Exactly this.

UNI did black tops once in 2009. They did them on the cheap. It looked terrible. Hasn't happened since. Not sure if it will again.

The use of black in uniforms might be the single most divisive topic in the UNI fan base. The basketball team has black alternate uniforms this year. Brought about a great amount of debate.

School colors are puprle and old gold...yet athletics uses purple and yellow...
Black and white are accent colors
The womens teams use a lot of dark grey for uniforms and accents.

All about keeping players happy and recruits interested while balancing the fan happiness of use of color

so .. the kids think its "badass" or something? lol

[Missingnumber7]

The college i started at wore black unis, but then decided that purple pants and helmets would look cool, not a good look.

But black unis is an appeal to the kids thing. Those don't look terrible, but there are better ones out there.

"badass"? No.
"Swagalicious"? Extremely

It used to be cool, but they too many schools went with this fad that it's not a big deal anymore.

I agree Slostang...they look good!

Everybody knows wearing black makes you tougher. That's why the Oakland Raiders are so good. :p

And by the way, this was pretty much the high point of their 2014 season, which makes the video all the more ridiculous.

Thankfully, Cal Poly plays most of their home games at 6:05 PM Pacific. San Luis Obispo can be very hot and black uniforms at 1:30 with a temperature over 80 can make for a very bad day. By 6, the ocean breezes have cooled the area, so black is not so bad then. Still, I prefer the Forest Green color, which, too, absorbs a lot of the Sun's heat, and I will be rooting again for the Green and Gold of my alma mater.

Go Mustangs!
