I like the all white too, traditional look. Then break out the orange pants on the road for truely big games. Not abuse it like the purple pants or orange pants like Bowden used to do all the time b/c he thought it was pretty.

All white = Taking care of business!

Per Levon Kirkland, said back when he played the all white was his favorite and it was the "taking care of business" uniform!

Did Danny Ford just use the word "prettiest"?

Somehow that just seems wrong.

Kind of expected more talk about actual football than unis
Oct 6, 2011, 9:47 AM

Perhaps that's all the paper chose to excerpt, but that we looked good and the uniforms were all clean - really?
No comments on the smash-mouth defense? The running game? Boyd? Dabo?
What's the age difference, just out of curiosity, between Dabo now and Ford in 81? Isn't Dabo a year or two older than Danny was then?

I hate the purple
Oct 6, 2011, 9:51 AM

There's a reason we never did it before the 90s - it sucks! Our primary color is orange. Stick with it. And if you look at tradition - we didn't do all that hot the years we wore the purple. Certainly didn't win the ACC, much less the NC.

I like the purple jerseys (neutral on the purple pants) but think they should only show up about once every 4 years.

The guy who destroyed what Danny built brought that crap here. He sucked and purple sucks. Bury it.

Stickers on helmets

I'd also like to see us go back to the stickers we had in the 80's, thought that was a good look.

Nice article from Coach Ford.
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Cos, I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

call someone's manhood into question when talking about uniforms. Danny Ford plsses toughness and he has the cojones to admit how beautiful Clemson's all white uniforms are.
Anyone who can't is trying to make up for mediocre genitalia.

Oct 6, 2011, 11:26 AM

before. I heard him myself talking about uniforms at Sloan Street tavern. So if you think he is being sarcastic, that is a desperate reach to hold on to some narrow image of Danny Ford.
Second, do you not realize the giant irony of you telling me not to judge people, when the very people I'm talking to are those who judge others for talking about uniforms? In fact, judgment was the whole point of my post.

Danny is right
Oct 6, 2011, 11:45 AM

The white on white is the best uniform in my mind. We almost always play hard in them, kind of a blue collar mentality.
Any combination of orange and white is perfectly acceptable. Orange britches for big occasions. Just like the old days - need to earn the orange britches.
The purple needs to go away.

I also like the old jerseys like this picture with more "holes" in it. Sort of like the pracitce jersey on the front page. Seems like it would also make us harder to tackle.

I like the purple pants, and the purple jerseys, but I'm not a huge fan of them together. The all purple is a bit much for me. I do however like white jerseys / purple pants (was there when they debuted them against NC State and Woody lit them up, so naturally I have good thoughts associated with that combo). I also really think the Purple Jerseys / White Pants is clean and classy looking. I think doing both just once a year is fine.
