UPDATE:<\/strong> New Penn State football jerseys not a done deal yet<\/a><\/p>\n

I have been meaning to post about the Penn State football program for a while now. You may recall, that after the Outback Bowl<\/a>, the following things were reported:<\/p>\n

QB Kevin Newsome<\/strong> was leaving the program<\/p>\n

QB Rob Bolden<\/strong> was leaving the program<\/p>\n

Tom Bradley<\/strong>, assistant coach in charge of the defense, was taking the Temple, no wait, the Pitt head coaching job<\/p>\n

Rob Vanderlinden<\/strong> and several other assistants would be following<\/p>\n

Joe Paterno<\/strong> had much more serious health problems and was going to step down after the game<\/p>\n

In the end all of these things…did not happen.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the lack of change is short-lived and it appears that Guido D’Elia<\/strong><\/a>, the man who made Penn State football the greatest show in the College Football<\/strike> an increasingly generic and dumbed-down experience, is involved. The Nittany Lines blog on The Morning Call<\/em> broke the news that Penn State’s football jerseys will be even more minimalist<\/a> starting next season. The white trim around the neck and and sleeves on the blue home uniforms (and vice-versa on the white road uniforms) will be removed. It is a minor change, but one that makes elegant Nittany Lions jerseys less attractive and frankly, cheap looking though I’m sure the price won’t be coming down.<\/p>\n

This is a typical D’Elia move, the kind that screams “LOOK AT ME, I’M GUIDO D’ELIA AND I CHANGED SOMETHING JUST BECAUSE I COULD!” He just “fixed” something that WASN’T BROKEN.<\/p>\n

Isn’t it odd that D’Elia is a minimalist about things like football uniforms and end zones (he made those more boring too a few years ago) yet he is the same guy piping in all that crappy music instead of letting the Blue Band play? Heaven forbid the gameday atmosphere feel like a college football game and not some minor league hockey game. Actually, that probably isn’t fair to minor league hockey (at least not the Hershey version).<\/p>\n

I’ve figured D’Elia was going to get this done eventually. Additionally, though it wasn’t said, I fully expect Penn State to be sporting a gray facemask instead of blue. Count on the ugly 2 diagonal numerals as well. If you are so into throwbacks Guido, let’s have a throwback gameday atmosphere, back to before your tainted it, back when it felt like a college football game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
