Subtle, but gay, changes to Penn State football jerseys.

Gay new Penn State football uniform.

Take a look at the picture. What is wrong with this picture? I dunno whether it was Sandy Barbour’s idea or what, but between the new 1855-less lion logo and this new frilly blouse, this old traditionalist ain’t too happy.

I imagine I’ll get over it.

  • And you seen kind of ignorant and bigoted ascribing a sexual orientation to clothing.

    • Since when does “gay” exclusively refer to sexual orientation? You seem to want to pick a fight here. Merriam-Webster defines gay:

      1
      a : happily excited : merry
      b : keenly alive and exuberant : having or inducing high spirits
      2
      a : bright, lively
      b : brilliant in color
      3 : given to social pleasures; also : licentious
      4
      a : homosexual
      b : of, relating to, or used by homosexuals

      Please excuse the formatting. I didn’t think your ridiculously defensive comment deserved a pretty response.

      In common modern vernacular, we turn to the Urban Dictionary:

      1. jovial or happy, good-spirited

      2. a homosexual male or female

      3. often used to describe something stupid or unfortunate.

      Definition three is where I’m coming from.

      Stop co-opting damn words in the English language for secular use! As I view my gaily patterned curtains, I see a gay squirrel bounding about in search of acorns. Now I’m going to get dressed, go out, and have a gay old time. Sorry, Javier, but homosexuals do not hold a copyright on a common English word.

      Now go away, Mr. Troll. You have business to conduct under the bridge.

  • Turkey, you should realize that only gay people are allowed to use the “g-word”. You obviously learned nothing during all those years working in academe.

    Hopefully the jerseys will be a little less puffed up when once the players put on pads. If not, the opposition will enjoy the extra leverage.

    And, speaking of “gay as in unfortunate”, check out # 47’s positioning of his water bottle.

  • Big Al got it right the puffy sleeves are for the shoulder pads to fit snugly. Even though they charge you $250+ for an “authentic” jersey, it ain’t authentic if it’s not puffed up.
