Can someone explain why we stopped Purple Unis?


Oct 8, 2015, 12:42 PM

The purple shirt and white pants looks absolutely amazing.

I also liked the Purple pants/White jerseys on the road.


Oct 8, 2015, 12:43 PM

I vote we utilize that more than the orange pants/white jerseys on the road

I agree Purp Pants White Jerseys was one of my favorite combos....

I also liked the Purple Top White Pants combo.

Only time I didnt like Purple is when we paired it with Orange.

It's my understanding that Dabo doesn't really like them. I hate the purple Uni's by the way and I'm glad we don't wear them anymore. Would like to see the orange pants more often though

I like the classic all white on the road, orange top white bottoms at home. We do wear purple for military appreciation day so they have their place.

We signed Garry Peters and as part of his recruiting


Oct 8, 2015, 12:45 PM

we promised him he wouldn't have to be purple more than once a season. Something about jokes. Idk.

HTH out loud.

Did we employ a similar recruiting strategy for Denzel Johnson?

cause Dabo...


Oct 8, 2015, 1:06 PM

No seriously, he doesn't see the benefit of the ghimicks and changing things around every week. Just like Bama, Clemson has a unchanging brand and its Orange tops white bottoms at home (with the occasional orange pants reserved I guess), and all White on the road. I like it, we are who we are. We are not Maryland, we are not Oregon, we are not UL. We are Clemson, its what we do.

ps, I think we still wear purple during militree appreciation day :)

pss you know how we do

Because Dabo's mother-in-law loves purple.

Dabo has said worrying about what to wear is a


Oct 8, 2015, 2:47 PM

needless distraction. Didn't seniors have a say in the Bowden days? Now, imagine if the seniors bickered the way we do about that stuff, all while trying to go to school, learn the game plan, and keep all the lovely young ladies happy? No time for all that really.

Re: Can someone explain why we stopped Purple Unis?


Oct 8, 2015, 2:55 PM

it is not a gimmick or a shtick when it is a basic school color

using it is proper...

2024 purple level memberbadge-donor-20yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Three reasons:


Oct 8, 2015, 3:07 PM

1) We spent forty years building brand recognition based on orange and white with the iconic PAW, such that we became recognized throughout the country. This was almost destroyed by Mr. Hatfield and Mr. Bowden ( both of whom used the purple out of desperation).

2)The purple look like $hitt on TV!

3) We have a coach who knows that the fan base by in large know that uni colors in the late 70s and 80 represent the Tigers playing great football. Not the Hatfield Bowden days.

Just notice how many teams that have orange as one of their colors now try to copy us. Fla. Va. Cause, and others.

They were really bad luck. Win to loss percentages were way off balance favoring loss when purple unis cane out.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Not really....


Oct 8, 2015, 6:42 PM

We've never lost in Purple Jerseys/Orange Pants, we are something like 2-1 when wearing the Purple Jerseys with white pants, and we are 3-2 in the all purple.

The actual issue is that Dabo decided the players worrying about what jerseys they would wear is too much of a distraction so he took the decision out of their hands.

GO TIGERS


Nothing wrong with purple.


Oct 8, 2015, 6:55 PM

Nothing against purple but Clemson dances most dances with the one that brung us.
