STATE COLLEGE -- Pink and black, the original colors of Penn State athletics, are probably what most fans thought of the moment they heard of the football program's plans to wear a "retro" uniform against Indiana on Sept. 30.
The men's basketball team recently decked out in those two colors in their own throwback-style uniforms, and fans have long kicked around the notion that the football team might one day give it a try.
This first go-around with a different style of uniform didn't travel that path, though, as a gray face mask, white cleats, striped socks, and other elements will make up the head-to-toe garb of the Nittany Lions players when they take on the Hoosiers.
