Green uniforms on a green field? That might make it difficult for grizzaholic to follow.

Following Eastern Washington's lead, Cal Poly has decided go with a green field.

Ya know, we'll take that! the red is not going to please everybody. And its the FIRST of its kind so its def shocking to see. Hopefully is boosts attendance and leads to the video board and visitor grandstand. If those tthree things happen.. Ill call it a success.

And if EWU goes 0-fer this year will you be calling for the "turf" to be pulled?

Um, yeah. When was the last time that happened?

People don't seem to realize that our home uniforms are black anyway.....white jerseys on red pants is the away....the red on red look is the alternate uniform. Although I could see us wearing it to a couple home games this year.

I can't immagine how bad that will look on TV. TV cameras do not handle red well.

They won't have to worry about that.

And since you're obviously a professional videographer, please tell us why that is.

[Grizo406]

I think the field looks good! Nice job, EWU!!

Simply, Red has one of the highest, most saturated chromanance levels of any color. It tends to
"bloom" and interfere with adjacent colors. It is less obvious in the HD world, but it is still an issue, expecially with text. It also makes contrasting colors look poor.

I think you just got kicked in the taint S_E

[S F State Gaters]

yeah i'm not going to hate on it, it's ok. It is very bright though.

[blazerbird]

Unless you're working with dated equipment, don't know how to paint a camera, can't read a scope, and are watching on a 20 year old CRT, the color red is not unlike either other primary color. There's no good reason it can't be replicated successfully on television. While HD video is obviously of a much higher resolution than analog SD, the digital aspect of current capture, transmission, and reproduction devices has more to do with higher quality video, than anything.

EWU’s new red turf a hit with players
By Steve Bergum (Spokesman-Review)

“Boise wears blue uniforms on their blue turf,” Baldwin explained, “and it seems to work for them. We’re going to look at some different uniform options, ourselves, to see if one color gives us an advantage over another on our red surface.”

Baldwin said the offense and defense will alternate wearing red uniforms at practice in an effort to see if red-on-red makes it harder for defenders to pick out ball carriers, or harder for quarterbacks to find receivers or locate safeties on the other side of the ball.

“We’re going to change it up this week,” he said. “I told our guys I’m looking for their feedback. I want to know how it looks to their eyes and how they feel before we play our first game on it. If we can create any kind of additional home-field advantage by wearing a certain color uniform, we’re going to do it.

“Why wouldn’t we?”

The Eagles have used several different home uniform color combinations in recent years, ranging from red jerseys and black pants to all red and, in a couple of instances, all black.

Mitchell, who inherits the starting quarterback position left vacant by the graduation loss of four-year starter Matt Nichols, is looking forward to the uniform experiment.

“I think Boise wears all blue for a reason, and I think their home record speaks for itself,” he said. “So, I definitely think it’s a good idea to get the red jerseys out here and find out what they look like and whether there’s an advantage to wearing them.

“If not, let’s just go to all black and come out here and sweat.”

According to Baldwin, the Eagles could opt to wear the white jerseys they normally wear on the road.

“But I don’t see that happening,” he chuckled. “We haven’t made any final decision, yet, but there’s a good chance you’ll see us in all red. That would be my guess, if I had to guess.”
