Kind of like the abomination we wore years ago against Boise. And proceeded to lose that game.

There is zero excuse for any helmet that isn't our standard red. The helmet is a non-negotiable.

Those things were hot garbage, but getting our asses kicked didn't help either.

I was. And I also know that our current Silly Putty-colored pants resemble true silver britches in no possible way.

I haven't seen any articles about this in a few years. A beat writer usually asks the AD why the Cowboys and Raiders can have silver but we can't about every 5 years, and there's never a good answer.
What about those shiny pants?
We also discussed a subject that fans regularly have raised when McGarity does online chats: when the football Dawgs might return to wearing shiny “silver britches” like they wore in the late ’90s and the early years of the Mark Richt era, rather than the matte gray pants they’ve sported the past decade or so.
That might not seem like a major issue to outsiders, but I’ve gotten more mail about it regularly over the past five years or so than any other single topic, including a couple of recent notes from readers asking for an update.
The story so far: Back in April 2013, when he was announcing some uniform tweaks, McGarity said UGA would like to return to football pants with a sheen to them, kind of like the Dallas Cowboys were wearing at the time, but it depended on when Nike could supply a fabric that suited what the school wanted. “That’d be the goal, to get it back to the silver britches. That’s the overall goal,” he said.
Then, in March, 2014, he said: “We are working with our partners at Nike to create a more ‘silver’ silver for the Dawgs’ silver britches”

A couple of months after that, I checked with Senior Associate Athletic Director Claude Felton, who said: “Uniform design and production is quite a lengthy process these days, but the new ‘silver’ should be good to go for the 2015 season.”
As the 2015 season approached Felton again said, “we are hopeful they will be closer to the original silver britches.”
It didn’t happen, though. After that, I’d check in periodically on the subject and was told they’d get back to me if there was anything to report on that front. They didn’t.
So, I asked McGarity this week whatever happened to getting shiny silver britches.
Before we talked, McGarity checked in with John Meshad, the athletic association’s director of equipment operations, about the uniform pants. The gist of what Meshad told him, McGarity said, was “It all gets down to Nike being able to provide the material. They have this shiny material called Cordura. Unfortunately, it’s a heavier material and, when it gets wet with rain or sweat, it adds a pound or a pound and a half to the overall weight of the uniform,” which UGA finds unacceptable.
“It is not as good a performance model as the current Nike material,” McGarity said, and “they haven’t been able to make a better performing shiny material. They’re hoping to lessen the weight, but they have not been able to solve that problem.”
I speculated that perhaps not enough teams request such a material in order for it to become a priority for Nike. “I guess not,” McGarity said.
Still, he said, “It doesn’t mean we have stopped advocating for it or asking for it.

This all day, we’re not Oregon. And that’s a good thing.

I hope this is true. Billy, here's $100,000 come hang out and tell us everything you saw about us on tape before we played you, and during the game. Here's a suite at Hotel Indigo and here are our recruiting chaperones to show you around town during your stay.
Boss move by Kirby, if true.
