How close are we?

I don't want to hear: 1) I don't look good in a gold shirt, 2) I don't own a gold shirt (you still have time on eBay or pick one up on or by campus on game day), and/or 3) I am an old geezer, you can't make me, and I will do what I damn please

Not this week buster. Let's roll call this shizz. LFG!!!

I bought a gold sweatshirt for me and a gold long sleeve tee for a buddy I'm taking on Saturday. It arrived today!

Go Gold California!

Unfortunately the Gold Outs have never worked - I've been to 2 attempts. For this one, I thought it was a Blue & Gold out which could work alot better, considering wearing a gold t shirt alone to a night game doesn't seem a good idea to begin with. It's no doubt too late, but I am sure most Cal fans have something to wear Blue & Gold. Even my incredible collection of Bear swag only offers two completely gold t shirts and they are basically so worn, I would have to jacket up!

Right, West Virginia has shown us Gold Outs at night suck:



I know Cal alums don't like to conform, but I implore everyone to try this once (hopefully we can get like 60-70% to do it and that should work pretty nicely). You can get Gold Out Haas shirts on ebay for $10 there is still time. You can pick a cheap one up at the ASUC Store, Bancroft Clothing or Bear Basics. It's not that hard.

Dude, dont be lame! Wear a long sleeve or sweatshirt under (preferably white) with the gold tee over the top, and let's not give up at the first hurdle.

It's gonna be cold at night (maybe around 60 degrees?). So it might be better to get a gold sweatshirt, or wear a base layer with a gold t-shirt over it.

Tee shirt hand out is the way to get this done but this will be on the agenda of a more competent admin at some future date, hopefully.

Usually in q but could only add seats trading to T for the game due to my 8 year old and 3 friends coming we'll be in row 1 which I'm nervous about being they are short and I've yet to sit in row 1 since the remodel.
Otherwise I'm in q for all the other games.
I'll be in the gold Oski shirt holding up the Hugh freeze pretty woman richard gere paste over sign…and no the 8 year olds don't know the meaning but even if they found out I really don't care. They need to know their are real world consequences to calling hookers from your office line

Ah that does confirm it was the coach that was fired from Ole Miss before we played them due to the scandal.

Since the remodel they raised the stands so that the 1st row is above standing players. You should be good.

Oh man, I didn't know I could be any more fired up for Memorial on Saturday night, but you just gave me one more reason.

Gold out won't happen until some donor buys 50k shirts. And we're asking a lot of these donors these days, so we have to prioritize

Not really much to ask Cal fans to wear the gold shirts that they already own (doesn't even have to be a Cal shirt), or pick one up at Bear Basics for $15 or less before the game. If we get to 70% participation it would look pretty nice.

Again, let's not give up 5 days before the game. Let's at least try.

I will be there in gold from my head to my toes. No excuses, this isn't my first Gold Out.

I doubt most ticketholders know that it is a gold out. I gave my tickets away because I'll be out of town, but I was not aware of the gold out.

You, sir, are a Sturdy Golden Bear (and I know you always go to the Pac-12 basketball tourney in Vegas).

For those wondering 47 has gold apparel.
Like most, I had plenty from my days as a young buck. Unfortunately after 2 pregOs worth of "sympathy weight" and Covid it doesn't fit quite like it did for the 06 oregon game.
They ship next day air as well.
Zero excuses

The only way these < insert color here > out works is if the game hosting athletic departments give away the shirts.

But our athletic department just took out an $11MM loan on top of the existing stadium debt and is too afraid of giving away tickets to students will "reduce their value" so…

I don't expect the "gold out" to be effective.

You can build it into the cost of the ticket and nobody knows the difference and you advertise it as a t shirt game, plus you have a sponsor for two on the shirts. It takes a little planning tho, and our guy's phoning it in from Colorado Springs so…

Let's show those Auburn folk what real commies we are by bringing an extra gold tee or two to share with the shirtless.

Yeah, JK needs a monthlong vacation in the Rockies after all that groveling^H^H^H
^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H negotiating with the ACC and couldn't bothered to delegate something to his dozens of minions that would actually improve the game day experience and fire up the fans and players.

Funny but you know that gold shirt we've all see of The Play where it has the Xs and Os including musical notes of the Furd band members -- it's become a collector's item.

Doubt Cal fans have the cohesion to make a Gold Out be anything other than embarrassing but in this case Auburn fans will make up something like 1/3 the crowd, doubly setting the Gold Out up for failure
