[NU Sports] So, I see we wore black uniforms at W-R

Dunno about that. Izzo's team started this season wearing camouflage
uniforms in tribute to our armed services aboard the USS Carl Vinson.
It's all good for college basketball.

I don't know how much trouble it is to get the waiver but I doubt that Izzo will agree to wear white on the road any time soon.

Every time we've worn a gimmick uniform for a home football game, we've lost: 2007 vs. Duke, 2008 vs. Ohio State, 2010 vs. Illinois at Wrigley, 2011 vs. both Michigan and Penn State. In fact, even when we wear non-traditional uniforms for road games under Fitz, we lose, too (the Ticket City Bowl vs. Texas Tech and 2011 at Army).
