In honor of the 40th anniversary of Georgia’s last national championship, they’re rolling out these:
Likee? No likee?
I’m good with most everything, except for that cheesy spike collar on the black jerseys.

UPDATE: Always be sellin’.
I surely do hope this doesn’t turn out to be nothing more than a cynical merchandising exercise.

UPDATE #2: Okay, they’re actually gonna wear them.
Georgia football’s famous red pants are making a return in 2020. And if the Bulldogs can beat Arkansas, it will be a triumphant one.
Georgia will wear its rarely-used “red britches” in the Sept. 26 season opener against the Razorbacks in Fayetteville, Ark. The gesture is an homage to the 1980 Bulldogs, who wore them that entire season paired with white jerseys as their road uniform. This year is the 40th anniversary of that undefeated national championship season. A commemorative patch is prominently displayed on the chest.
“Yeah, we were given a heads-up on that,” said Frank Ros, linebacker and captain of the 1980 Georgia team. “It’s awfully nice of them to do that. Obviously, that was a special team and we’re honored they’re honoring us that way.”
… Also unveiled in that video were some new, specially-issued black jerseys that the Bulldogs are going to wear sometime this season. Exactly when remains undecided — or a secret. But Georgia will be back in black at least this season.
A nice tribute and a nice reward for the players who have put up with much to play this season.

These are so damn hot.
Also, black jerseys in a release video… they’re real and they’re spectacular. https://twitter.com/LoganMBooker/status/1306624686768427012?s=20

Love the throwbacks.
Hate the Nikefication of the black jerseys, which were prefer mirror images of the red jerseys. Now they’ve added that ridiculous dog collar and NikeDawg to the sleeves.

What they need to do is get rid of the bubble numbers on the regular red and white jerseys. That would make everyone happy.

I actually love the spiked collar on the black jersey. It’s not blatant and in your face. It pays homage to the classic bulldog and even the savage pads. I have always hated the Nike bulldog.
I LOVE THE BLOCK NUMBERS … it’s a classic look.

Here’s the difference. Nike has at least two types of pants to offer. The ones with the sheen are an older style. The Pro Combat pants are supposedly much lighter and stretchier, but Nike hasn’t been able to get the sheen in this material. Both Richt and Smart have both stated the players prefer the Pro Combat, so that’s what they use. We’ve gotten years of promises that Nike is working on the technology to get the sheen in the newer material. Most NFL teams decided to go with the Pro Combat pants when Nike became the league uniform provider. Exceptions included the Cowboys and the Raiders, who chose the old material to maintain their classic look.

Don’t care for the collar spikes on the black jersey but it doesn’t bother me much and I don’t think they will be distracting on TV or from the stands.
Maybe the players like it. The players should be able to wear pretty much whatever they want as a reward for playing this year. Except for the Power Ranger unis.

Agreed on all counts. Typically don’t like any deviation from silver britches but in this case I love the traditional throwback, and I also love the number font. Tbh I could take or leave the numbers we’ve been using for the last several years. Could definitely do without the spike collar, but it’s a subtle detail I can overlook especially if I’m getting the black jerseys that I am indignantly entitled to.

Well I’m definitely in the minority here as I actually like the dog collar element to the black jerseys, plus I’m just loving the return of the black jerseys period. I’m assuming we’re still going to see the red jerseys though. I’ve always said the black ones should be used for the last home rivalry game of the year, which should alternate between Ga Tech and Auburn if not for some stupid scheduling BS.

Exactly. Also. we wore silver pants at Auburn in 1980.
My memory is that we wore red pants at Kentucky in 1980 but I may be wrong.
Assume we did wear red at Kentucky. We played only 5 games away from Athens. We wore red jerseys and silver pants at the Sugar Bowl, red pants at Tennessee and Kentucky and silver pants at Florida and Auburn. We didn’t wear red at away games all season. We at best wore ref pants half of the away games.

I thought the last time we wore them was in the opener against Tennessee, but I guess I’ve never seen video from the Kentucky game that year (I was about eight months old). Still, it’s nice that we can still rely on the good ol’ AJC to put the work in on research.

LOVE the away throw backs with the red pants. I like the original black jerseys, but these are terrible. The Nike bulldog is a bad look and the spikes on the collar looks cartoonish. I wish they would just wear the original black jersey once a year at the last home game. I don’t believe in the jinx from the Bama game, but if people are worried about “fake juice” for a big game then, simply state we wear them in honor of the seniors at the last home game each season.
