Maybe I am old man yelling at clouds" here

But UGA's white helmets were gay af

It never looks better, it just makes you look like some other team

Why couldn't we let this figgotry remain an Oregon thing?

Glad we’ve avoided succumbing to it.

Orange jerseys this week.

In 10 years the jerseys will just be advertising space all over.

I thought the all white jerseys looked pretty good.

Not quite as good as the black jerseys with red helmets but way better than those extremely ugly other Red alternate uniforms we wore once under Richt opening the season against Boise State when they kicked our arse.

I agree though, if it was up to me we wouldnt use any alternate uniforms ever and just use our classic home/away because theyre extremely clean and traditional.

Maybe Kirbs thinks rarely wearing some kind of alt uniform will help with recruiting

They looked like you printed a UGA helmet, but didn't realize the red cartridge was empty until it was too late

Alabama has held the line on these changes.

I hope they stay vigilant.

I don’t mind it if they are going to wear the uniforms for one game and then auction them off for charity.

I dont mind it either if it’s to honor something like 9/11 or maybe even on a lesser note celebrate a past look in school history for one game. Bama had white Helmets back in the 60’s I think. If they want to celebrate one of the 60’s championship teams one week by going retro then I have no problem with that. To do it just to do it though I don’t think I would like it to well. There should be a point to it.

I think earlier this year, I eluded to 17 programs that should NEVER mess with their Home/Away uniforms.

Lemme see if I can recall them.

Alabama
Auburn
UGA
Tennesee
LSU
Texas
OU
Miss State
ND (should have never gone away from old gold)
Miichigan
OSU
FSU
Miami
Clemson
Penn State
USC
Arkansas
Nebraska


I think thats 18

Florida gets a pass because they do retro pretty well. That gator skin was silly, though.
Ole Miss gets away with multiple looks because Powder Blue is actually pretty cool.

The icons should always wear their iconic uniforms, at least home.

It was just wrong for another team to be wearing red jerseys in Sanford Stadium.

"Hell, no, I’m not going to candy this thing up. These are work clothes," - Darrell Royal

I'm wondering if the usual Swooner will comment about Royal being from Oklahoma, or the sting of the Michigan loss keeps them bottled up a while longer.
