DU pondered new uniforms to up attendance
Despite all their championships banners prominently displayed in the arena and an over-inflated sense of self-worth, DU officials have been struggling to keep pace with CC in average attendance this season. Currently, the "mighty" Pioneers rank only 9th in the country in attendance opposed to CC, which ranks 4th with a full thousand more fans per game. According to an "anonymous" source within the DU athletic department, there was talk of bringing out "special jerseys" midway through the season to raise fan interest (ala NHL switching to dark at home...another rant for another time). "We had the freshman try them out during practice one day" stated the unnamed source "and they looked good, flying by in that bright pink. The problem arose when we tried photographing them, the uni's just weren't very photogenic." Looking at the test-shoot photo, perhaps it was the players that weren't photogenic enough?

I especially like the 'pink Chevy'! :) They should have gone ahead and tried them in a game - would probably have been OK under those dim lights at Nagmess.
