Clemson should have one of the easiest mascots to design a football uniform around. (considering the predominant feature is a stripe, and every football uniform has a stripe...)
* That doesn't even consider the military heritage, or Clemson's unique tradition of running down the hill.
I'm not sure who is in charge of Clemson's uniform design, (I suspect James Barker) but whoever it is, needs to lose the purple, tone down the orange, and market the stripe over the paw (black preferably) IMO.
The purple and overuse of the paw (and color orange) looks tacky.

Why the purple heart?

Why not the National Defense Ribbon? Why not the Bronze Star? Why not the Medal of Honor?
Is it MILITARY appreciation day or purple heart recipient appreciation day. I know a lot of Air Force guys that have served their country that were no where NEAR combat. Are they not appreciated. Same goes for Navy, Army, Coast Guard, and even Marine Corps.
Plus, those are gross.

maybe they can do a different medal next year. All I know is they have designated this year as a purple out for purple heart recipients...
just figure the team should also reflect the day...

I agree with the sentiment, I just don't understand the purple.
I would like to see them consider this logo, (perhaps changing the stripe to black and bottom portion to orange would make sense) and remove the paw on the helmets with the idea of marketing the stipe rather than the paw. (and use the paw as accomplishment stickers only)

I don't care for the helmet but like the jersey and tiger striped compression shirt.

it's one of our school colors. It certainly adds extra fuel for people wearing purple to the game with this in mind. Those you mention that weren't in combat have certainly known those that were, or are, and there won't be a soul in those stands that isn't appreciative of the whole lot of you regardless.
As for the uniforms, I'd hate to see us bust those out against the Citadel. They should remember the orange and white when they play here. If the D was cool with them do the Thursday night Ga. Tech game.
Go Tigers!

I had to take a break after reading this thread and seeing a person suggest doing away with the paw and orange.
If = Sarcasm
Do CHECK METER
Else
OP = FAIL AT LIFE

I don't see why most of you hate the color purple. If you love Clemson so much then how about actually supporting it and stop bashing YOUR OWN TEAMS colors!

I don't think many veterans would oppose using the Purple Heart in the Military Appreciation day activities. It is the symbol of the greatest sacrifice make by a large number of individuals: their life and/or a bodily
Injury in combat. Over a million awarded in WWII, over 100,000 in Korea, and over 300,000 in Vietnam.
Also, what is the deal with the anti purple comments?

Pretty cool. As a dark color at home it's also harder to

identify as easily as the bright orange. The DT's bulldozing up the middle would be invisible amidst the carnage and green. DB's and LB's wouldn't highlight a QB's peripheral vision as much, DE's would appear out of nowhere.
On offense, you're calling the game so you know where your guys are gonna be, mostly, and it's not as big a disadvantage.
The thing that I didn't like most about Boise St. was how their uniform colors matched perfectly their made up field color. It was a huge advantage for them at home and their record shows it. Putting a lot of our dark purple into a home uniform could be an on-the-field advantage.

After seeing Oregon's facilities, I'm going to purchase less Nike stuff.
I'll let Oregon fans (and everyone else who buys Nike stuff) pay for Oregon's facilities.
I'll create my own stuff from here on out.
