Actually, to be a bit bold, I would have to say that this is an excellent
idea. Notre Dame (please, no flames from anti-Irish people) has the most
amazing set of student fans (they also do not have a greek system, but I
digress) and instead of dressing up and stuff, each year, the Student
Government Association sponsers a "shirt." Its designed by a student (or
students) and sold for I think 15-20$$. Which covers the cost of the shirt
and then the extras are donated to a charity of the SGAs choice. (I
think... I DO know it goes to charity) and for certain home games, the
word goes out to the student body to "Wear the Shirt" and wa-la! We have a
mass of green or gold or whatever and people stoked. And from then on, its
considered "The Shirt of 9x!" 

I think its a really cool tradition.
