Ole Miss is decent. I like Auburn's colors better.

West:
Alabama - classic unis, should never change. Don't even think it.
LSU - I honestly think the purple/gold looks better than the white jerseys.
Auburn - decent enough, seems like the number of stripes are always changing.
Arkansas - uniforms change every year, jeebus. Do you guys think that diagonal stripes and wraparounds make you look faster?
Miss St - you'll never catch up to Ole Miss in the uniform department and you know it.
Ole Miss - Great previous style, pick one color of blue and stick with it, OK?
Texas A&M - Freeze in place. The shaded logos look better, white uniforms look great.
East:
Georgia - Gray, silver, black - did you guys not learn your "blackout" lesson?
South Carolina - too many options and trim is too busy.
Kentucky - are you guys trying to be Oregon in blue?
Florida - you guys have too much heritage to play these games with your uniforms. It's just silly. Stop.
Missouri - just great guys... nice job of candying up and sissifying what should be the baddest and most feared colors in all of football.
Vanderbilt - y'all would do OK if you'd just pick one helmet logo and stick with it.
Tennessee - that's the color voted by the rest of the entire sports world to be "pukiest".
======
I guess I'd vote to change Tennessee's colors if I could. They look even viler than Auburn's brand of orange.

This is about colors, not uniforms.
We only have three uniforms, btw.

South Carolina. Or at least their logo. They have the ugliest helmets in the league.

I live in a world of extrapolation, pal.
I actually like the old school Kentucky plain blue uniforms. A lot.

Not a colors issue, but reguarding uniforms: Nearly every one of us would be far happier with a traditional look.

Wut
The school colors are red and black. That's not changing because of one stupid game. Those jerseys were badarse btw.
The silver britches are a traditional thing that aren't going away either. They look sweet. I wish they were a little more "silver-y", if that's a word.
To answer the OP, Tennessee's orange looks like someone ate a whole pumpkin and then vomited. It's simply an obnoxious color.

Their uniform colors are pretty consistently dark green/yellow. When is the last time you saw another color on an oregon uniform?

Georgia's original colors were Old Gold and Black, but they changed them after getting their butts handed to them by Tech in 1893. Tech actually changed their colors from Yellow and Black to Gold and Black to mock UGA's original colors.

OK, if someone has to change, lets set aside the unique ones first.
- LSU's Purple/gold is unique.
- Kentucky is the only one that uses just blue/white
- Tennessee is the only one with just orange & white
- Ole Miss is blue and red
Which ones are the same/close?
- Alabama, MSU, A&M, and Arky are all some sort of red and white
- Auburn and Florida are both blue and orange
- Georgia and USC are some sort of red and black
- Mizzou and Vandy are gold and black
To get a set of truly unique color scheme/combo, 6 of the 14 teams have to change. Here is my completely biased choices for who gets to keep their colors.
1) Alabama - completely homeristic choice, plus original SEC member and historically most successful SEC football program.
2) Auburn - Has historically more success than Florida and more recent BCS Championship.
3) Vandy - only because they have been in SEC longer than Mizzou
4) Georgia - longer in SEC.
New colors for the rest.
MSU - Brown and green. (I'm imagining a pasture)
A&M - Purple and white. (all male cheerleaders)
Florida - yellow and green (sunshine and golf courses)
Arkansas - pink and white (pigs y'all)
Mizzou - black and white (kind of like forgotten old reruns of I love Lucy)
USC - Red and yellow - just to make it even more confusing between them and Southern Cal.

LSU should drop the yeller and blue for something a little more unique.

South Carolina should add green and Mississippi State should change to straight pink and gold.

Hypothetical: What SEC school should change their school colors?
Lsu should swap from yellow to gold.
For tradition's sake, I would want them to stay like they are, but there IS something to be said for the Washington Huskies purple and gold, which is really gold. Sorta like them.

They quite regularly wear neon green,black,charcoal,silver,white and chrome.....they remind me more of a Nascar team than anything else....the Oregon nascar-ducks, if you will !

I really think this looks a lot sharper, imho. Would love to see that color/combo all the time, home and away uni's:
