My son is 16. I have daughter at State now, and one on the way next year, with him right behind. The one thing he asked me while we were in Starkville this weekend was why we don't wear cool uniforms in the egg bowl anymore. He then complained we never break out gray or black unis either. Point is, the kids notice; and they are the ones that will enroll and keep the university alive.
Of course, I agree that wearing them on the egg bowl just sets us up to look bad when we lose. But we should break out some exciting stuff during the year. The kids like it.
