I know Clemson's uni's were primarily orange and white in the 70's but why is it not called the Orange & Purple game since those are the official school colors?

Great idea! When the South stands yell “ORANGE,” the North stands yell “WHITE,” and the Hill and West end zone yell “Purple.”

Road (White) and Orange (Home). For a long time there were no purple jerseys. Don't remember any purple from 60-64, but haven't looked at my TAPS to see if there were any.

More darker Burnt Orange and Northwest Purple. When I was a child in the 70's I remember the O&P in the souvenir's they sold around the stadium were more those darker shades.

And let’s also not forget about the horrible use of navy blue for a while.***

Navy came from 1959 Sugar Bowl. Wore them because of TV contrast and continued for a while in 60s. Predominant colors in 60s were White and Burnt Orange The bright Orange of today started with HOOTIE Ingram and the intro of the Paw to the helmet. Thinkin official O & W game started with HOOTIE but not sure. Loved those burnt orange jerseys.

The spring scrimmage popularly known as the Orange & White

… dates back at least to the early 1960s (probably even earlier) and the teams have always worn orange and white uniforms.
