Wolfpack athletics teams have strayed from NC State's core color values for team uniforms. Get with the program; Wear Wolfpack Red & White only and always!
Good lord. It's 2023. The younger generation — including recruits — love the varied looks. It's not an every game occurrence. ... If you're going to be such a stickler, why not go back to the original pink and blue? Because they changed over the years. I would suspect every program has adapted and adopted an alternative uniform color at some point. Why make the exception for red helmets, jerseys and pants? That was never the way it used to be. ... It's also about money. And what university or athletic department can't use more of that these days?
As for the national identity issue, maybe win an ACC title in football or basketball and that will start to change the narrative. Certainly not the colors on the uniforms. Not sure the Olympic sports have an identity crisis. Didn't the women's cross country team just win a natty?
But, yes, let's create a campaign to wear only red and white. C'mon.
Well, at least one person reads and comments! Thanks. I like Penn State's uniforms. Simple and true to their colors. The younger players who you say love varied looks are being paid to play so make them wear the true Wolfpack Red & White colors! By the way, I love your Substack: The Red Thread. So simple and indepth!!!!
