It's enough of an issue that the MWC prohibits Boise from wearing all blue at home for in-conference games.

I think that looking down on the field from the ESPN camera does kind of blend in, but if I'm a player on the field, meh I dunno.

First of all, we all know that the MWC is always rational and reasonable - right?
Second, it was before, but my recollection was that when BSU rejoined (without ever leaving) the MWC, that condition was removed. At least that's how I remember it.
