1937 Represent

Competition may find it spectacular
Scheme and fiend to take a bite like Dracula...

Your Team, the Colorado Buffaloes announced that this Saturday they will wear 1937 throwback uniforms for their all-important game versus Wyoming. 1937 was the year Whizzer White roamed the backfield for the Buffs and lead them to the Cotton Bowl. For those who also don't keep up on their history, White was later appointed to the Supreme Court by JFK and served admirably for decades. How about the Buffs were throwback Justice robes in honor of White?

I really don't get all worked up for special uniforms, whether they are "alternates" or "throwbacks." (Peep the atrocities the Donks will be wearing this Sunday.) My teams could wear whatever- a pink tutu with a rainbow afro wig -if they win, who really cares. It's all about moving merch, and if that increases the AD's bottom line, so be it.

The big question the SG has is will the embattled coaching staff, mainly Chief Zen Hawk be rocking throwbacks too? What would the appropriate throwback be for Hawk? Ringo Starr Indian Buddhist inspired tunic circa late 1960s?

Perhaps Hawk should take a page from his predecessor's book and roam Folsom in full George C Scott general gear. When a player f*cks up, he can snap him with that whip Patton carried around. Damn that whip would get a workout. Maybe he can rock the 1991 satin coat and high hat that Bill McCartney donned. Now Mac wasn't the best gameday coach, but his late 80s fashion was always on point.

Hawk could go Tom Landry and go with the hat and coat and tie. But I'm afraid if he did that the ghost of Landry would come back to earth and smack Hawk in the mouth when some rah-rah pie in the sky bullshit flew out of his mouth.

One throwback CU fans might hope of not hope (depending on where you stand) that Hawk will be wearing is that of an unemployed coach post-game. Lose to the Pokes, and a cardboard "Will Coach...God Bless" might be fitting.
