Boise State will wear all-black uniforms for its game against UNLV on Oct. 20, the school announced at halftime of Saturday's game against UNLV.

The program's recruiting Web site, BoiseStateFootball.com promises black "head to toe" and includes matte black helmets. The above pictures are from BoiseStateFootball.com.

Boise State is also asking all fans to wear black for the game.

The Broncos are just the latest program to go for the all-black look. BYU, for example, will wear all-black against Oregon State this weekend.

Boise State is expected to make an official announcement at halftime of Saturday's game against Fresno State.

The all white is far superior to this disgusting looking color.

I disagree that they are

I disagree that they are disgusting, but I do prefer the all white. Can't wear white at home though.

All White?

Submitted by jazabelz on Tue, 10/16/2012 - 9:41am.

All white as most people know isn't great in rain! I prefer the black or gray any day.

Why does that rapper want "All White Everything"?

Very Cool..

Submitted by grasshopper on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 11:21am.

This beats having to wear the gray uniforms at home. And why should they wear white at home? I also wonder why they are not wearing blue on blue. If I recall, the MWC is not going to share revenue with them anyway so i would shove blue up their nose. But black is very cool and goulish.

Because. . .

Submitted by bsuthruandthry on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 7:14pm.

Because Petersen, Kustra and Coyle aren't trying to be spiteful. Play nice and leave on good terms, that's what good, respectable programs do. The new uniforms look sharp, better than all orange. My eyes took a week to heal after that game.

White is for away games!

Submitted by jazabelz on Tue, 10/16/2012 - 9:43am.

The visiting team is supposed to wear light-colored or white uniforms!

Not gross

I like it, just don't wear it to often.

Probably just a Halloween

Submitted by Knuckles_Grymm on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 11:30am.

Probably just a Halloween thing.

Why?

Submitted by Korp on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 11:36am.

I think the uniforms look sharp, but I don't understand the why. I definitely don't agree with the fans wearing black, stick with blue or orange.

Black uniforms may look cool but they aren't our colors

Submitted by RedZone on Sun, 10/14/2012 - 8:55am.

Agree - the uniforms look great, but we should wear our own colors at home games. There has been much work to market our blue/orange image so why confuse things. Go "Big Black" and "black collar team" just doesn't sound right. It feels like selling out to a marketing ploy and losing our identity.

For one game?

Submitted by B43S42U on Sun, 10/14/2012 - 9:05am.

Come on, go with the flow. It's a cool little one game gimmick.

If all it does is make the school a few extra bucks, I'm good with it.

I don't have the money for new clothes right now, why BSU?

It's a braindead idea.

The helmets are really cool,

Submitted by Lilly on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 11:51am.

The helmets are really cool, but it seems like everyone else is already wearing black and I hate being copy cats.

Another way to honor the Vandals

Submitted by SandHugger on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 11:53am.

Would be to schedule a game with them, instead of RIPPING OFF their colors.

We are taking Black too

Submitted by bronco24 on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 12:34pm.

Just as we have taken everything else you Vanals hold dear, we are now taking your precious black. Try and take it back! I'd like to see you try!

Submitted by Rodster on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 3:48pm.

Stupid. Can't believe Peterson is allowing this. Boise States colors are blue, white with orange trim. There's no black.

PetersEn..

Submitted by JLandon on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 4:27pm.

With an E. If you're a Bronco, how can you possibly continue to spell his name wrong? If you're not a Bronco, why waste time commenting? Either way, thats whats stupid.

It always amazes me to see the crybabies. Yes its a marketing ploy. Yes its been done by other schools. The players (who are the most important) dig them. Recruits love them. Its different and new AND its a one time thing.

The atmosphere was awesome today, and it will be next week. If you dont like it, who cares? 35k strong will support it.

Wow

Submitted by Korp on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 4:42pm.

Wow, you get upset over the strangest things. He misspelled Petersen. I doubt that he is the only one to do this. Anyone with the name of Petersen or Peterson is probably used this this.

Great game today...Way to go BSU!!

Because it shows a lack of knowlege dude...

Submitted by JLandon on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 4:49pm.

Uneducated fans spell it Peterson.

End of story. Next whiner?

Knowledge and Intelligence are 2 different things entirely.

Submitted by QUICKS on Mon, 10/15/2012 - 3:49pm.

Being aware of how to spell ones last name falls under the category of "Knowledge"
- Congratulations young man! You have knowledge.

Becoming overly irritated at the site of a mispelled name however does not qualify for "Intelligence" but more so "Lack there of".
- Sorry, not all can have equal common sense.

Besides, I've spelled it Pedersin for years and I'll slap anyone who tries to correct me, POW!!

OK QUACKS

is irritated at this "site", where this "misspelled" name appears. However, he appears not to appreciate the "sight" of a well-known name, often misspelled, by those who should know better.

JL wasn't attempting an "intelligence qualification" test. He needn't.

ps - "thereof" is one word.

is that black is not a Bronco color. Other than that, it think they look pretty sweet.

Bronco stadium will look pretty cool with the black surrounding the Blue.

Wanna fight guy?

Agree. A sea of black will look very cool. But, what if the BSU players start to blend in with the rubber pebbles in the turf? Black uniform masked by a black cloud. Not fair!

UniWatch on ESPN.com calls

Submitted by haimerej on Sat, 10/13/2012 - 4:27pm.

UniWatch on ESPN.com calls this "Black for Black's sake". This is a silly thing that has gone on in pro sports for some time. I'm bummed that we're on board. And PLEASE don't tell me it looks intimidating. Not one single UNLV player is going to want to get back on the bus when they see them.
