Actually they could have decided on all orange and change after pregame to mess with louisville qb's mind and really fire the crowd up

Dumb! Do we have to tell everything on social media these days. What happened to the element of SUPRISE!
Why doesn't everyone just tweet out their first play on offense too.

We play to a standard, uniforms don't matter. Per Dabo. So why would we care if they know what we're wearing?
Just one less distraction on the table each week by advertising it early. And, as an added bonus: recruiting tool.

If Dabo and company are so regularly gonna eschew wearing orange pants for big games, then the idea of the uniform as announcement worthy is a joke. A Tweet to say they're wearing orange on white? Ohhhh, what a shock. I'll be sure to check out twitter to see what's on tap next week!! Ohhh, the suspense!!
And the whole "business suits" thing is sort of corny. It doesn't make sense to be so predictable with uniforms all the time, and then have a cutsy social media practice of announcing the perfunctory predictability.
Good grief Dabo. Have 'em wear all orange for big games during the season. It doesn't HAVE to be a championship game of any sort. Clemson's tradition is to whip them out for big games - a little extra pyschological somein'-somein'!! And for goodness sake have em wear purple every now and then, not just the all purple once a year.

Orange versus Coots, ACCCG, National Championship. Louisville doesn't warrant orange pants. Yes, their ranked third in the country but BFD, it's the third time Clemson has played them.

You almost had it right! Except you added Scar to that list, we will never wear all orange for Scar.
ORANGE PANTS AND ORANGE TOPS ARE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES.
and the list of people to respond to for saying this is dumb to put the uni combo out there is too long, so I'll say this to the general list of ppl, shut up hahahhaha

We absolutely wear orange pants against the coots, what have you been watching? We wore all orange last time we played them at home (2014) and we wore orange pants against them last year at their place. Its for the state championship, dabo let's them wear them for championship games.

Were you a fan of the duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton being referred to as an "interview?" Because it was and still is...
The term "interview" can be a gentile way of referring to a slaughter.

We should wear what we would ordinarily wear for a home game at this point in the season. Changing it up would be out of character for everything I have seen Dabo represent. Wake Forest can beat us, North Carolina can beat us. Louisville is no different. I thinking putting on a uni that is out of the ordinary would send the wrong message to our players.

By that logic, why would orange pants EVER be on tap? If the fact that we could just as well lose to team x as y is a universal leveler, then we should never change unless the road uniform rule demands it (i.e. dark vs. white jersey).

and the past just is what it is in that respect, but there's no reason it couldn't return with a little cultivation. And, to be fair, Dabo is doing that somewhat, but he's letting some unquestionably big games roll under the "uniform radar."

that Dabo picked the "business suit" to go out and meet up with the Cards? Perhaps you do not know the fundamentals of how football games are won. I can assure you the uniform of any team has never won said team a game. Ever. GO TIGERS!!

I didn't quantify an amount, it's just an expressed criticism, that's all.
And, it astonishes me how many folks respond to uniform talk with the ole "it doesn't affect the game" schtick. Of course it doesn't! I didn't say otherwise. And technically speaking, neither does running down The Hill, rubbing Howard's Rock, wearing orange, tailgating beforehand, throwing the All-In Chip into the bucket, etc. etc. etc.. If you don't think traditions matter, then that's on you, but don't conflate it with superstition.

The orange pants are not "big game" pants anymore. They are our "championship" uniforms. It's been said and nobody wants to acknowledge it or pay attention. Go back the last couple seasons and you will notice we only wear orange pants when a "championship" of some sort is on the line.
State championship Division championship Conference championship Bowl championship
These are the only games we will wear orange pants for anymore. And I think it's awesome.

This doesn't make sense for a couple of reasons
Sep 30, 2016, 7:18 PM
|

I mean, I think you're right - that's the M.O., but I think Dabo is overthinking it. I take it this approach began after the 2011 season when we took it on the chin from WVU in the Orange Bowl (wearing all orange) - b/c it wasn't long after that there was some questions to and discussion from Dabo about laying off the uniform variety for a while b/c he said it was a distraction - and Clemson didn't wear orange pants but two times over the next two seasons, and didn't wear all orange at all in 2012. So that's when I'm assuming this "championship" standard for orange pants started. Besides, by any measure, the use of them before that was not in line with that.
But even since then it dosen't add up - for instance they were worn against FSU early in the season in 2012, before clinching the Atlantic was possible. They were NOT worn in the "State Championship" in either 2012 or 2013 (but then were in '14 and '15). Besides, the "State Championship" is a moniker of sorts, for goodness sake - not a championship per se. It's a good moniker, but we all know what it means - and if Dabo's gonna be that semantic about allowing it for "championship" purposes, then what about the NC State game for the "Textile Bowl Championship"? I mean, it gets a bit absurd trying to play it that way - I mean, if it's for championships and not big games generally, then why championships? Ostensibly it's b/c Championships or championship related games are BIG, important games! So then, we only use them for ACC Championship games, South Carolina games (and only b/c we designated it a "championship" due to it's informal title - and even then only SOME SC games, like vs a 3-8 team that just lost to Citadel), games in which we clinch a division, playoff games or Nat'l Title games, as well as OTHER bowls (OU Champs sports Bowl). Plus the occasional FSU game that doesn't clinch . . . but an game vs #3 ranked division opponent that handed ate FSU's lunch? No dice, apparently. "Business suits."

He just started using the orange pants for championship pants in 2014, at the end of the year. The last time we wore them in a non championship type game was at fsu earlier that year.
And if we lose the game it doesn't mean we have lost the division. There's a lot of football left to be played. Same if we win it.
