They are. White is not a school color either, but we have a uniform that's that color, too.

Black, white and gray are all base colors. No one says they're school colors. They are simply blank bases upon which you use your school colors.


equally opposed to white unis but we must wear them when other team wears a dark uniform.
we have apparently opted to wear black unis in the hope that it will incentivize the guys to tackle. i'm not buying it but we will see.

This is just unbelievable. Totally disappointing.

Nice way to reward all of the SMU families spending part of their holiday on The Hilltop by not wearing school colors.

But I am sure the kids will be hyped so who cares, right?

If this is the reason they need to play hard for, fine. Paint it all black.

Who cares? I just hope the players don't want to wear black to symbolize the funeral like atmosphere that might be Ford Stadium Saturday

Our colors on black have looked horrible in the past. Hopefully these will be better.
But throw those horrible helmets away & wear SMU helmets.
