Penn State Wrestling has accomplished some incredible feats in the past 12 years and there’s not much the Nittany Lion faithful haven’t seen.
At least not in the last handful of years. But that’s about to change as Penn State just released the following news for the Bryce Jordan Center dual against Rutgers on February 12th.

Penn State Wrestling New Tradition

And not only are the singlets going to be a different color combination, but the Penn State Athletics department is completely flipping on the script with what color the fans should wear.
Because if you wear white, then you’re going to stick out like a massive, sore thumb.
Yes, Nittany Lion fans, you did read that correct. The instructions from Penn State Wrestling are very clear: wear black and not white.
So not only is the BJC dual on a different night than most are used to (Monday night), it’s going to be a rowdy and rocking blackout. And I for one think it’s going to be one heck of an environment to watch the Nittany Lions utterly drub the Scarlet Knights into submission.
