The Michigan State athletics department is asking fans to wear white to the MSU-Purdue men's basketball game on Feb. 9 as a gesture of uniform support for the Spartans. The Spartans and Boilermakers will tip off at 9 p.m. White t-shirts are available at GMC Kiosk on the Breslin Center concourse outside Section 110. Fans can receive a free t-shirt in exchange for filling out a short GMC survey.

Whyyyyyyyyy
Anyone else annoyed that they do white-outs? White is a horrible color to use for it because every empty seat or person that doesn’t wear white sticks out like a sore thumb. Consequently it never looks very good. If you look at something like Illinois when they do orange outs it looks like the entire place looks like it is solid orange. Why doesn’t MSU ever have everyone wear all green?
Three reasons
1) Dark green doesn’t have same visual impact as colors like red/orange for large groups.
2) Unless you can get everyone to buy official Nike merchandise, you’re going to have too many different shades of green, anyway.
3) The Izzone wears white.
The white-outs definitely aren’t as awe-inspiring as the orange at Illinois games, but it’s the best option available. At worst, it’s just helps complement the Izzone a little.

Fair enough....
Though I still contend the worst thing I ever saw them do was have a white-out - except the Izzone who was supposed to wear Hawaiian themed stuff or something :).
don't they usually give away cheap sponsored shirts when they want everyone to dress the same?
I’m burned out on whiteouts though. leave it for Winnipeg Phoenix.

Hey, I grew up in Grand Rapids
I will do almost anything to get something that’s “free.”

I hope he wears a white suit.
Light a man a fire, he'll stay warm for a day.
Light a man afire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
