For those of you who don't want to wear purple that is your right. The military has fought and died for you to have that right, but as for me I will wear purple and support the cause.

I don't now nor never have associated purple with the military. I don't need to wear purple for me to demonstrate my feelings for the military.
In my mind Clemson is ORANGE and white and purple but the primary color will always be orange for me. I have nothing against the other colors but I wear orange for the games.

seeing that sea of purple will put a grapefruit in my throat. You are correct on the school color thing as well. It's Clemson colors, and ONLY Clemson colors and anyone who wants to argue tradition needs to watch the YouTube video of the '51 Orange Bowl that was posted here earlier this AM where you'll see the Tigers under Coach Howard wearing Orange jerseys with Purple numbers and Purple pants on....Tradition didn't start in the '70's when folks tried to make Clemson a bland Orange and White like other schools or Orange and Navy like a ton of other schools. Clemson is the ONLY Orange and Purple school in the nation and why we don't embrace that blows my mind.

It's for Military Appreciation Day in honor of wounded and fallen Soldiers... If you can't find it in your heart to show respect to our Nations Military for one day please give your ticket away. It's a slap in the face to our Military, to the Clemson family and Clemson University that worked so hard to put this together. All Purple, All In! Go Tigers!

loud during the National Anthem and cheering/applauding during the service recognitions, flyovers, etc. And I show respect by exercising my right not to conform to some arbitrary wardrobe requirement and wearing what I WANT TO. I am a free man in a free country. Sorry, just wanted to see if anyone else was wearing orange. I don't own any purple and don't plan on buying any.

purple symbolizes “joint” in the military world, meaning “all services.” In the world of color, if you combine Army green, Coast Guard Blue, Air Force blue, Marine red and Navy blue, you get purple.
The military has (for all branches) Purple Camp for Kids, Operation Purple Family retreat (for families to reconnect after deployment), Operation Purple Program (programs serve military families in three different phases of military life – deployment, reintegration, and coming together after an injury), Operation Purple Healing Adventures.
Purple was chosen because it represents ALL branches.
Just saying...

the purple heart is not awarded to soldiers,sailors,airmen and marines (or coast guardsmen)killed or badly hurt during non-combat training exercises or just doing their normal, sometimes inherently dangerous duties. i like what we are doing, but to try and slam kb tiger ( who has served) for wanting to wear his orange is just outright wrong.

Nov 15, 2013, 6:33 PM

in the '70's. I personally think that Orange should ALWAYS be the dominant color but there should be more Purple trim on all uniforms, especially football. It's not about uniforms, it's about celebrating uniqueness. What irks me is the total disassociation with Purple that so many fans try to do when we're the only school in the entire nation with O and P as school colors. I'm glad we are not Orange and White or Orange and Navy because with the Hill, Howard's Rock, Esso Club, DV, the Paw, etc. O and P is yet another thing that is ONLY Clemson and I think that should be celebrated instead of denounced.

no reason to be contrary for this special event.
If you had a Clemson diploma, you'd realize the seal was purple, not orange.
By posting this, you show everybody just what kind of attitude you have towards the University. Thankfully you will be in the large minority that day.

Nov 15, 2013, 8:13 PM

to prove? This is something the University is doing that brings us all together. Everyone should participate. Purple is a school color so there is nothing wrong with wearing it.
People who are being stubborn and try to play this "I only wear Orange" crap or "You can't tell me what to wear" sound like a bunch of 5 year olds.
It's something our school is asking us to do and at the end of the day is putting on something purple really that big a deal? If your answer is yes then you have much bigger problems than what to wear at a football game!

LOL The students wanted to wear purple and that's fine, I'm no longer a student since 1975. Where is the same concern when there is an Orange Out, many of the students seem to forget they are the ones that asked for it. You and anyone else can wear all the purple you wish or want to, but you or no one else will ever tell me/us what we are going to wear May I make a suggestion to you and anyone else, if you see us or someone else wearing ORANGE be sure to come/go over and share your views in person. What someone wears does not make them any more or less of whom they are

You can wear whatever the #### you want, but despite who ask for it, this is now a University sponsored event and should be supported from all from the school. Just like anything else our school does.
And nobody needs to come up and tell you how foolish your stubbornness is over what to wear. You seem old enough to know that on your own!

Will argue about ANYTHING. I think the purple out is an awesome idea and great initiative by the student body. But if you don't want to wear purple then don't. Come to the game, pull for the tigers, appreciate the military and just be thankful for your freedoms that allow you to do so.

Could not disagree more. Did u know that Clemson university was third in the nation during WWII in commissioning officers. Only second to West Point and Texas a and m. Wear purple dude! It's the one game we don't have to wear the same shirts and socks and underwear all of us superstitious fans do for big games. Lol! Bo be respectful to our school and our rich military heritage and wear purple. Go tigers

The intelligence/faux bravado of some posters is astonishing.
Honoring the military in a unique way is an excellent idea. Would it be unique if they asked everyone to wear solid orange for the military? No.
What's the issue some of you have with wearing purple? You make it seem like it's somehow not manly (laughable) or against Clemson tradition (does tradition have a shelf life?). For some of you to be so adamant about only wearing orange is ridiculous. I love how one guy bragged about not owning any purple - what does that make you? More manly? More of a Clemson fan/traditionalist? Seriously, what are you proving (that is positive)? Please let us know where you will be sitting so we can congratulate you on proving whatever it is you're proving - maybe you can enlighten us then on what that is!

### beat in this country too. If you dont have purple (Regalia) Clemson attire then fine. Idk how you couldnt seeing as its a school color that was brought w Walter Riggs from Auburn yes Auburn not LSU. Clemson didnt start wearing purple recently. Check out the letterman jackets and pants from the first game in DV. Btw DV is named Memorial Stadium for all of our cadets who fought in the World Wars.

Unfortunately, I can't make the game. I would be wearing purple for the first time to a game if I were able to make it. It seems like a great opportunity to try something unique for Clemson. Obviously, people can wear what they want, but I don't understand why anyone that had a purple shirt at home would chose to not wear it for this unique event. It isn't like Clemson is trying to start encouraging people to wear purple to every game. Clemson is, and has been for a long time, all about the sea of orange on gameday.

If I'm there, I'll have Purple on.
For those who don't have any Purple and are coming to the game Saddy:
Go outside and slam the car door on your fingers Thursday morning. You'll have plenty of Purple to show off Saddy.

It's too cold Thursday, just slam the bathroom door on your fingers. Closer to the bandaids too...
