Penn State rolled out the white carpet for last season’s home game against Auburn. Now it appears Auburn is about to return the favor with plenty of orange to go around.
Auburn is encouraging fans to wear their orange for this weekend’s showdown with the Nittany Lions, and there is some wild speculation among Auburn fans that the Tigers could be rolling out an orange jersey to compliment the look and atmosphere on Saturday afternoon. Auburn has already confirmed the Tigers will have an orange facemask, as opposed to the traditional blue, for the game. The Tigers actually wore a white facemask during last season’s whiteout game at Penn State.
An otherwise fairly innocent tweet posted by Auburn’s football account has given absolutely no indication the team will be wearing an orange football jersey for this weekend’s game, but that hasn’t stopped fans from letting their imaginations run wild.

Maybe Auburn will go full orange out against Penn State, which will be wearing their traditional all-white road uniform, of course. If they do, it will be quite the sight to see, although a matchup like this just looks better if Auburn sticks to its main uniform combination and lets the fans take care of decking out in orange from head to toe.
Of course, any Penn State fans making the trip to the game will likely be showing up in their white.
This is going to be one fun afternoon of college football, no matter what color the uniforms end up being for either team.
