Everything is changing for Penn State football. And the adjustments could include changes to the team's famous blue and white uniforms, which have become a symbol of the program.

Penn State has had a traditional look to its uniforms since Joe Paterno became coach.

In an article by the Reading Eagle that details new coach Bill O'Brien's conversations with parents of current players, it was reported O'Brien had discussed changing the uniforms with Nike.
Among the possibilities would be the addition of names to the backs of the jerseys, though making that change could be difficult to implement with five weeks left before the first game of the season.
"It might be easier said than done," O'Brien reportedly said. "I'm not sure we can get it done this year."
The new look would be the latest sign of the new look for a program that was run for 46 seasons by Joe Paterno.
Since taking over the job, O'Brien has delivered on his pledge of more openness with fans and news media in a reversal of his predecessor.
After the release of the damaging Freeh Report that resulted in NCAA sanctions on the football program, Paterno's statue was removed from outside Beaver Stadium last weekend.
A change to the Nittany Lions uniforms would remove one of the last symbols of his time in Happy Valley.

Penn State football needs very much to sever all ties with the past, and completely changing uniforms would be a good way of symbolizing the new start. Putting names on the back is a start, but I don't think it's nearly enough. If I were in O'Brien's position, getting rid of the Paterno uniforms would be high on my priority list.

A good way to start is to run up the scores on teams.Fans like to see their team score alot.

Imagine playing for this team? If you ever played any D-1 or college ball in general the shit talking on the line is UNREAL

This would be a treat to MiC these games when they play in the coming months. LOL

Was thinking the same thing. I would make the helmets blue and put the logo on the sides also.
