Why do we only wear our purple jerseys for one game a year?
Jul 30, 2016, 9:53 PM

I know I know orange is the traditional. But seriously our purple jerseys are awesome and I wish they would rotate them out from time to time.

Because you don't get a vote.
Dabo likes orange branding and uniform uniforms.

What an impolite response. Especially from one who refers to himself as a gentleman.
What is this world coming to when a "gentleman" responds harshly to an innocent question and uses an innocent question to publicly embarrass someone?

In Country Gentleman's defense, it was a TNet rhetorical question, anyone who follows Clemson knows the answer as to why we rarely wear purple.
I LOVE the "Regalia" on Military Appreciation Day, any other day give me all white on the road, orange over white at home, and ALL Orange for big games.

We save them for a special occasion, and what could be more special than honoring the men and women who have sacrificed so much fighting for our country, so that we can go to said football game and watch our team wear purple jerseys. I love the military appreciation day game and think saving the purple uniforms for that event is a perfect tribute. Just my 2 cents.

Because orange and white are our primary uniform colors.

Besides, I like the fact that the purple ones are special, only to be worn on Military Appreciation Day.

with a white jersey.
Michigan's fluorescent yellow, or Maryland's abomination are far, far, far worse then Clemson's purple pants.

If you look back at old yearbooks, purple pants were a staple of road games. Of course a white football was used for night games.

It's probably my second favorite look behind orange on white. I would like to see the team use that look now and then (other than it being regulated to QBs during the spring game).

the blue jerseys that Howard would wear were a nice change of pace. Program pics of players were made in these unis even if they were not worn during the season.

I really like the opposite - regalia pants with the white jerseys myself.
But as long as we are winning just wearing Clemson Orange and white, I can live with it.

Because we wear orange or white ones instead? Seriously I hate special uniforms like that! You practice all year with your guys in white and orange, and for ONE GAME you wear something else. I really think if affects your teams' play because you are used to automatically recognizing your own colors and suddenly you are different and it takes a second to realize the guy in the purple is your teammate. My two cents!

tiger23orange instead of tiger23purple. Orange is our primary color - always has been, always will be. If you don't believe this, you need to check your Clemson bloodlines. Somebody messed up.
