What you got against light blue? I would be ecstatic if we ever got a light blue uni kit.

It's fine as an accent color in very, very small doses. It should never be used as the primary color for a jersey, we are not UNC. I'm fully on board with a silver jersey though.

But having a light blue kit also increases the number of combinations we can use (that actually look good together). Right now we have Navy/White/Black. We can't mix the black with anything because Black/White looks weird, and black and blue look too similar so there's no point.

Right now:
All Black
All Blue
All White
Blue Jersey/White Pants
White Jersey/Blue Pants

and that's it. Light blue, if done right, would look good with all of Black/Navy/White uniform combos, and would increase our number of combos gigantically!

I know that Silver would do a lot of the above as well (and honestly I'd love a Silver kit over a Black kit), but silver would bring no pop to the uniform and would make most of the sets monochromatic, none of which scream ODU to me at all.

The monochromatic looks are awful. I hate that almost as much as I do the idea of a light blue jersey. You add a silver jersey and pants into the rotation and you have something. The blue and black jerseys would look good with silver pants. Silver jerseys would work with any of the pants, less so the white but could work depending on the silver they went with.

We could do a lot worse than looking like Penn State.
