Georgia will wear black. Let the fun begin

Here comes the howling debates over why we should and shouldn't wear black with no less than 7 references to the 2008 blackout game.

Well if Alabama does it it'll be ok to do again lol

A few preemptive facts that so many forget when we have this endless discussions:

Under Richt we've worn black three times, all against top 20 teams. Two were complete blow out victories and one was an 11 point loss to a team that went 12-0 in the regular season.

I actually read a post somewhere this morning that said these were for the soccer teams.

So this board is only a place for stone cold facts? It's a decent offseason discussion topic.

And I really don't like the alternate uniforms that Nike put together. But I've never really been a fan of shoulders being a different color than the body of the jersey.

The UGA uniforms are classic. I don't mind a change in stripes on the helmet, or down the pant legs, or even a change in font on the numerals. This is not a good change.
This is all about selling $80 shirts in the bookstore.

I like our black uniforms, but I do not like the renderings on your link. I realize the jersys won't be exactly like the renderings, but the article does say they will be based on the shirts. Wish we would simply go with the regular black-out uniforms.

I read an article years ago that said a study shows that teams with black jerseys have a higher winning percentage than any other color. Some of it was from confidence and aggression. But if I recall correctly the article concluded that it was mostly due to it being harder to see and track who had the ball with the dark jerseys blending it in.

I hope those shirts are not what the uniforms look like. Nike will have something nice especially with that epic fail of the Pro Combat uniforms. Black with a little red it's kind of hard to make that look ugly.

I'm perfeclty fine with us wearing black, I think it's the sharpest looking uni I've ever seen. But I dont' want to wear the abomination in the link in OP, it shoudl be the 07 version. I've also said many times we shoudl do 1 of 2 things with the black jerseys:

1) Make it a routine thing like LSU does with their purple jerseys so it's not a "gimmick". For instance, the last home game of the year.

2) Quit talking about it, and break them out randomly once every like 10 years like notre dame does with their green jerseys. Tell the fans on Thursday we're wearing black on Saturday and watch all hell break loose.
