Just so long as we don't come up with one of those seizure-inducing Oregon-style "alternates"

I wonder if it turns to a "gimmick" when the fans get involved to make it a "blackout". Seems to me, if the jersey was in normal rotation, there wouldn't be a fuss about it.

I think they look good, but this is football.

Could the Dawgs wear all black jerseys, pants and helmut if they wanted two?
That would be a black out.

According to ADGM, they became an annual fixture, beginning last year. Time and coaching not artificially assigning booga-booga (good or bad) are the only thing that can neutralize the stigma that CMR allowed to fester surrounding them.

Don't get me wrong - I love the guy and think the world of him, but he was a total pussy about the jerseys after Bama. That's all on him.

The jersey and pants, maybe. The German guy would probably not want to be a part of it, though.

I think my proofreading needs a little more proofreading. Helmut? LOL!

I still think a black helmet with a red G, a black jersey with red numbers and black pants with a red stripe would look good.

I've never liked the look of the Red Power G, personally. I sure as shite don't like the Halloween "Grambling" uniforms from 2009. Dear God, Almighty, the play on the field was the only thing uglier than those solid black uniforms w/ white jerseys.

I might have been, but idoesn't have to be. I like them because the look good. No other reason. Jersy's and helmets and pants do not win football games. But I do like the way those look, so I am all for wearing them......once a year.

It was fake juice the way that CMR employed them. Wearing an alternate jersey that's one of your primary colors is fine. The fact that he never argued to bring them back for 7 years afterward shows you that he bought into the superstitious nonsense.

ADGM announced the annual black jersey fixture before the 2016 season began. Sure, it was a little lame to break them out against ULL, but they were used, nonetheless. Time and repetition are the only things that will conquer the stigma that was erroneously heaped on the jerseys. the '08 Blackout was little more than the unfortunate intersection of the jerseys (uncommon) and the team failing to show up for a big game (highly common).
