Isn't USC supposed to be wearing light?

they've been doing both home unis for this game, at least 10 seasons now.

Have petitioned the ncaa to both wear road uni. I wish more matchups had this!

When is the last time you watched a USC-UCLA game?

SC's Sonny Dyke's pass defense makes the outcome unpredictable. SC will need 50+ points to win, just like Goff did.

U Lo$ angele$ needs to figure out way to steal a possession.

No defense in this game but big hits

Baby Bears are going to be really beat up when they come in next Friday on a short week

Joe Roth would have dropped 60 on SC's pass D.

have to love it when someone takes the time to post a systematic destruction like this

Anyone know why Cal and Stanfurd never do this???

It discriminates against colorblind people when nobody wears a white uniform.

The old west white thing was based on TV viewing and you could not tell in B&W TVs. Since color came into vogue a year or two ago….it is an NCAA rule to wear the white. It used to be that if you did not you would lose a TO during the first half. So the opposing team would generally give up a first half TO as well to make it fair. Not sure if that is still required if they get a petition to the NCAA.

If you look at pictures of Big Games prior to around '72 or so, you'll see that Cal and Stanford always wore their red and blue jerseys for Big Game. Other games such as Utah/BYU, Oregon/Georgia, and many NBA games are going back to the tradition of wearing their teams home color in unis. I have lobbied, for years, for Cal to go back to wearing the Blue jerseys on the farm as they did for a majority of history. It's a great look, and $C/UC(la) picked up on it almost ten years ago. We need to revive that tradition.

Totally agree. The UCLA/U$C came is always a feast for the eyes. Cal & Stanford really need to do this. Love the color saturation. And the old B&W TV argument is so arcane as hard to believe! Drop this stupid tradition.

Plus, anyone with ANY Blue & Gold in their blood HATES seeing Cal in white. Yuck! I've ranted before, but it's still relevant: NO white jerseys! No white Cal t-shirts! WHITE helmets? Are you EFFING HIGH?!!!!! Stop it already. It isn't even a color! (Ok physicists you can shut up. I know.)

And seeing Wilcox show up for the on-field post-game interview wearing a mostly white hoodie made me sick! Come on folks, we really can do better than this!!!

Your avatar is a white shirt with blue sleeves…

Yup. I put it up for the 40th anniversary. Funny because I did it, but then it wasn't showing up thereafter so I was wondering what was going on. Thanks for showing me it's actually up.

That's my original big game t-shirt from 1982. So glad I held onto it. Unfortunately I wore out the GOLD The Play shirt that I had. I'd LOVE to have posted this image instead. Over the years, I was always frustrated to see commemorative Big Game shirts printed white. Made no sense to me at all. And this jersey is no exception. Hate that it's mostly white.

Regardless, I still hate the white clothing I see being worn by Cal staff. And the white jerseys are the worst.

It's a no-brainer for Cal-Stanford esp because we have different color pants. Not the same for USC-UCLA, both having yellow pants.

Saw a new (Joe Roth Blue) play shirt on a seat neighbor yesterday. You may have options again. I am not crazy about the royal blue, but he did say he just got it for the 40th.

The reason UCLA and USC have a tradition of both wearing home colors when they play each other traces back to all the years they shared the same home stadium, the LA Coliseum.

Cal and furd did this through at least 1969. I believe 1970 was the 1st year they wore white at Memorial . And I think we were in white shirts in PA in '71.

Lots of Cal folks have expressed interest in getting back to that tradition, but as far as I know furd has said they're not interested. Foolish.

I honestly can't say. I don't care. Obviously you do. Well done.
