The most practical approach to uniforms.
Oct 6, 2013, 2:51 PM
|
|
Uniform appeal should be for one purpose only, recruiting. Who cares what 30,40, and 50 year old men like? What matters is what appeals to high school seniors. Hence let the players decide what they wear. ( This from a middle age man who likes our traditional unis.)

There is a reason that they are called Fuddy Duddies and you're not going to talk logic to an old dude who is afraid of change and against it no matter what. This is coming from an old dude .

I hope we never go the Oregon/Maryland/WVU route. They look like clowns. Clemson/Alabama/Texas etc. look professional and ready to take care of business, as any good program should.

feels good to be arguing about uniform changes other than whether or not our football coach should be fired.
I agree with the OP idea that cool uniform changes (sometimes) does help attract recruits. To what extent I am not sure and obviously Maryland's disaster seems to be a cry for help not a cool uni change. lol

Agreed! Maybe in January we can argue about how long of an extension we should give Dabo and crew. 
I'll admit I like seeing the purple uniforms on occasion, but having only orange/white for the last few years has been refreshing. Especially since it seemed like Tommy broke them out every other weekend.

I doubt a huge rich Clemson donor would trade a strict uniform policy over a bunch of 5 star recruits.
I just see someone that successful being able to see the big picture.

Re: When did unis become more importantr than winning?
Oct 6, 2013, 3:23 PM

30, 40 and 50 + year old men contribute a lot of jack so that schools can field teams. In other words, you want things like they were in the Bowden days -- by letting the inmates run the asylum. When did wearing 20 different uniform combinations trump winning? Under Bowden, the players voted what to wear and the image was awful. The team LOOKED and Played like a Banana Republic!!!

Just win!
As long as they don't mess with the paw on the helmet who cares?
Orange pants on the road looks good, but if Dabo says all white It's all good. Just win!

a lot of routine national powers if wearing classic uniforms for decades now has hurt their recruiting. They don't need flashy/trashy/gaudy uniforms - they keep the classic looks that classy programs keep.
For example, Maryland seems to try a different uniform each week - what good has it done them? Didn't help much with their recruiting as evidenced by yesterday's blowout by FSU.
Florida State and Georgia wear their classic looks and they seem to be doing fine with their recruiting.
I agree with DS - the players need to be focused on playing well, not how flashy they're going to look.

All of those schools have tried alternate unis, except for bama.
Keep it simple like Dabo is doing with the traditional uniforms and just keep on winning.
One day we will change it up for 1 game, no doubt about that.
NIKE $$$$

and that "distracts" them no matter what. I always thought that sounded like pure BS to me though I don't care what Dabo says or does if it works and we win.

Take one game per yr ( & one only) & wear it all.

Purple shirts...orange pants....white and purple helmets with an orange paw. This is to be worn only in a gimme game such as The Citadel game (no disrespect intended). Then everyone drop it! All the other 13 games orange on white at home and white on white on road.
