Tradition should never fade to black

It didn’t take long for the rumor of a possible change in the USC football uniform to spread like a wildfire across Tuesday’s Internet. It was a fire that flamed with resentment and burned with more intensity once images were attached.
We know today that Scott Wolf’s original report wasn’t completely inaccurate, though it was a bit overblown. The athletic department considers subtle changes in the uniform each year, and this one is no different. But the combination of black helmets and cardinal pants doesn’t appear to be among the options, and could hardly be considered a “slight” change, as much as it would be a complete overhaul.
