Apparently, uniform gimmicks didn’t leave Athens with Mark Richt

For the past three years, the Georgia Bulldogs have worn their home red jerseys to face the Florida Gators in Jacksonville, while the Gators have sported their home blue jerseys.

However, seeing as how Florida has won the past three games, the Bulldogs have decided it is time for a change.

According to Dawg Nation, the Bulldogs will be sporting their road white jerseys for Saturday’s big SEC East rivalry game:

“Georgia will wear white tops for this game as the away team,” UGA team spokesman Claude Felton said in an email. “We are not wearing the home game tops as we have the last couple of years.”

The Bulldogs beat the Gators in 2013 and 2011 — the last two times they’ve worn the white jerseys, so the change makes sense from a superstition standpoint.

Whether it works again remains to be seen, but you can see for yourself on Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. Eastern time on CBS.

We should wear our white tops also.

I agree, but this is a page out of the Reverend Richt playbook.

We've got them worrying about uniforms the day before the game. I like our chances.

It’s probably motivational. “You guys have lost 3 straight to the lizards and don’t get to wear home jerseys until you beat them.”

After the Texas A & M fiasco I'd rather just keep my mouth shut about anything concerning uniform gimmicks.

We'll likely wear the ****ing Pell Clemson orange.

We're wearing blue jerseys, white pants, orange helmets.

We're wearing blue jerseys, white pants, orange helmets.

Allah be praised.

That is what we should wear at home every week. No white helmets, maybe the orange jerseys one time a year, but not the all orange look.

All blue is always sharp.

What? Isn’t there a purple uniform with pink spots and a lime green helmet combo we could wear.

Neat thing with both teams wearing home uniforms gets crapped on because Georgia sucks.

 

[Oklahoma Gator]

I don’t understand why y’all piss and moan about our uniform combos. Since the Meyer years we’ve worn some kind of alternate uniform/helmet at least once or twice a season. It’s not 1978 any more and this happens at most major university’s with very few exceptions. It’s ok and sometimes I really like them. Sometimes they’re not my favorite (TAMU). But at this point it’s less a gimmick and more standard operating procedure for a major D1 program cause the recruits like it and Nike can sell it.

If Chip Kelly becomes head coach, uniform style and color combinations will redefine gaudy and ostentatious.

Anymore seeing our normal uniforms is about as rare as a gimmick one...
