It appears that the old adage, "Black Shoes, Basic Blues, No Names, All Game" is once again relevant. According to Benjamin Jones, the names will be removed from the backs of Penn State's jerseys for this season and the foreseeable future. Names were originally added to the uniforms for the 2012 season, to honor those who stuck with Penn State in the wake of the scandal.

In other words, get ready to see a lot of tweets today using the following hashtags.

Hopefully the lack of names will calm the traditionalist crowd when the team runs out in pink and black Nike Pro Combat uniforms for homecoming this year.
