why are you talking about those uniforms?
can u show me images of old auburn uniforms in which orange was the main color. when i think of auburn i think of the navy blue.
the football coach who started football at Clemson came from auburn. take it up with him if u don't like Clemson's 'copying'. dig up his body and flog him. lol
i personally never cared for tigers mascot b/c when people say 'go tigers' reminds me of tony the tiger of Frosted Flakes. lol

I always think of Fairley, but it wasn't him that speared Parker in the ribs and damn near killed him. Who was that dirty fricker?
Ruined our season, as he just never healed up all year.
That was a great game though. Cam figured out how to be a badass that night.

our uniforms don't resemble AUburn's colors at all, given they don't feature the orange, and don't have purple at all. you got a talking point that you haven't thought much about it.
The first "colors" of Clemson can be seen in an early diploma that is displayed on campus. But to everyone's surprise, they're red and blue! The orange and purple began when Walter Merritt Riggs formed Clemson's first football team in 1896. Because Riggs had come from Alabama Polytechnic Institute (later renamed Auburn), he borrowed ideas from their team colors, orange and purple, and
their mascot, the Tiger.
Clemson Official Website
A year later, Walter Riggs left the Auburn program in the hands of Heisman and headed off to Clemson, South Carolina to start up a football program there.
Clemson had no mascot, no school colors, nothing. So Riggs just took off with what he knew from Auburn, branding them the Clemson Tigers.
In fact, he was low on money—probably used it on Heisman’s salary—so when he left the Plains, he brought some of Auburn’s old practice uniforms with him, which happened to have orange and navy jerseys.
Because the jerseys had gone through a few washboard scrubbings, they were quite faded—the navy worse than the orange. So Riggs made the school’s predominant color orange and the faded condition of the navy became the purplish color, officially known today as Regalia.

according to Wikipedia, Riggs was a fan of the Princeton Tigers, who had won a title. he named Clemson after Princteon Tigers. but i've read that the players chose Tigers to honor Riggs who was from Auburn.
it is amazing how much this comes up on here though. who cares if we have the same mascot or if first uniforms were auburn uniforms. the uniforms do not look anything alike today.
as far as tradition goes, obviosly both schools have traditions that the other doesn't have.

I am a Clemson fan, and you are embarrassing us here. Your grammar is poor and your arguments are scattered and illogical. So please stop.

you are so uptight if you are whining about somebody's grammar on a internet forum. get a life, homey
name one thing that I said that is illogical, control freak. You run that fat mouth of yours but you won't get specific.
Who do you think you are bossing me around on here. what is embarrassing is your lack of people skills. You act like a caveman.

Clemson would be a top 4 program historically if they played in the SEC.

i never said anything about 'historically'. this is why i say AUburn fans are hacks. I said right now, Clemson would be a top 4 program in SEC.
u guysy will say AUburn has dominated Clemson but leave out the fact that 20 of Auburn wins are from early 40s and prior, and the teams have only played 6 times since 1971, and Clemson is 3-3 in those games, and the losses were competitive.

I'm not going to go through the whole thread to point out your lack of reason. You believe what you wrote so obviously me giving you examples isn't going to change your mind.
I'm sorry I asked you to stop posting. Please continue.

ok, this is my point, you run off at the mouth but you can't even hold a conversation.
you are insult me and talk down to me but then you act like I am the embarrassment. you are a caveman.
did it upset that I pointed out that Clemson uniforms don't look like the Auburn uniforms? or that CLemson is 3-3 against Auburn in the only 6 games played between the two since 1971 and so it probably not true to say Auburn has dominated Clemson in football.

Nope. I'm actually an undercover USCe fan. Let's don't bicker amongst ourselves, boys. Lots of other posters here need your attention.
