Blackout, anyone?
It’s USC, ESPN and Halloween night. If ever there was a time to pull out all the stops, this is it.
Yet, there’s been no official university announcement of a stadium-wide blackout. For all we know, the team could show up in green and yellow. I know, crazy.
Fans can’t stop discussing it. The UO Duck Store and others are rolling out t-shirts to support the movement for a united fanbase of solid black.
The only way it happens to the fullest, though, is if the university has 60,000 black t-shirts (er, ponchos) waiting at the gates. Throw a Carl’s Jr. and Bi-Mart logo on the back and it’s done.
Otherwise, you’re asking everyone to do some last minute wardrobe enhancement and that’s just not going to happen. That, and Ducks fans are mostly made up of independent, “I’ll wear whatever the hell I want” types so it’s a bit tricky trying to pull off any sort of unity.
Hopefully, it happens, but without university backing, I doubt it will envelope the entire stadium. Besides, what we’re all really holding out hope for is a “steelout.”
Opportunistic capitalism at its finest allows you to have options. Here’s some places you can buy something black.
- UO Duck Store
- ReaperClothes.com
- Ducktees.com
- Saw this on educk.com but not sure how you can buy it
- Football Fanatics for a large selection, but nothing specific to this game
If you know of any other options, feel free to leave a link in the comments.
