You may be right for college football, but the first time I remember seeing this was in hockey. The Winnepeg Jet Fans wearing white for the Stanley Cup Playoffs back in the early 90's sometime.

the first time ever
The Winnipeg White Out is a hockey tradition that dates back to 1985 when hockey fans in Winnipeg were asked to wear white clothing to home playoff games in Winnipeg, creating a very intimidating effect and atmosphere. It was created as a response to the "sea of red" created by fans of the Calgary Flames, whom the home town Winnipeg Jets were facing in the first round of the playoffs. The Jets would eliminate the Flames in four games, and fans wore white for every playoff game since. Fans coined it the "White Out".

The tradition is also prevalent in other sports, as the student section at Penn State's Beaver Stadium held a white out during the nationally televised football game between Penn State and Ohio State in October 2005.

The Winnipeg Jets had white outs a long time before Penn State ever dreamed of it.

The Phoenix Coyotes Hockey team has been doing it since they moved from Hartford.
