I wish they would wear the white pants with the purple

jerseys. Always thought that was a sharper uni. They should be wearing at least some white at night so those receivers stand out and pop against all that darker purple that will be in the stands.

that lit the coots up during a blackout at Willy B. He stated after the game it was so easy to find his receivers in the brighter unis against that background. lol

That's a Spurrier quote-of-a-quote...

"Even Florida Coach Steve Spurrier chuckled at the sight. "One of our receivers said, 'Coach, it was nice of them to wear all black so we can pick the ball out of the sky,"' he said."
Rex Grossman was the QB you're thinking of and he had a similar zinger: "It was fun....It was like they weren't even there. They were blacked out. Then we drove them out, they left."

Totally agree. Hate purple on purple but purple jerseys and white pants looks good - if we must wear purple.

Agree. I like purple, but would like to see it on white pants. Of course, it is Dabo's call, and he seems to know what he is doing.

Too much going on with orange helmet,

purple Jersey and white pants. Looks like an accident. I'm glad for two things: that we do something unique to honor the military and we wear purple only that one game a year.
I'm not a fan of the purple unis, but I'm a fan of honoring the military with something special. When we do wear purple, however, it should look like a uniform, not a hodgepodge outfit. Since the orange helmet is a non-negotiable, the rest should be all purple. Now, if purple helmets were an option, purple jerseys and white pants would look good.
We're not TCU though, so that ain't gonna happen.

Daob says...

when he got to Clemson, we were like a bunch of chameleons. There were too many uniform combinations and the seniors would decide which combination to wear each week. He felt like too much time and energy was being wasted on uniforms.
Of course, Dabo came from Alabama which has just two traditional uniform combinations so he decided to go with tradition (orange jerseys and white pants at home and white jerseys and white pants on the road) while respecting the history and tradition of the orange pants (orange pants for championship games only) and, of course, Clemson's military heritage (all purple on military appreciation day).
Hard to object to any of that.

This is very true. Even if they went with white pants, I am still pleading for purple camp pattern pants.
With a purple and white PAW.

Purple is for one game/year and it's a home game.

I agree, it's a great look.

Although I like the all purple for Military Appreciation Day.
I would like to see the purple jerseys and white pants for other home games though. It doesn't get much better than this when it comes to incorporating our official school colors.
