Looks like the Sooners will be creaming Kansas on Saturday. By that we mean wearing cream colored uniforms.

Center Ty Darlington said the team chose alternative uniforms against Kansas instead of at the Baylor game in Waco because of what happened last year (the Sooners lost to the Bears while wearing alternative uniforms at home). There is such thing as bad karma.

The players showed the Sooners’ white alternate helmet after practice on Monday. Missing from the helmet was the crimson center stripe present on the version OU wore last season against Baylor.

“We talked with Brad Camp, our equipment guy a while back,” Center Ty Darlington said. “We started talking about what games would games that we’d maybe be able to wear alternates for and wanted to wear a look that we hadn’t worn. We wore that crimson helmet, crimson jersey against West (Virginia) and then this was highlighted as our away game we’d be able to do something for.”

Although the plan is to stick with the all-cream look, the Sooners might go with crimson pants Saturday.
