Uniform Update: inside sources say #UGA & #Clemson have agreed to an all color game.
Both programs want to sell their ability to replicate NFL “Color Rush” style for recruiting purposes. Thoughts are it makes sense on the NFL/prime-time stage.

Chaser.
Clemson’s All-Purple goes hard.
Georgia’s All-Red does not.
The sooner UGA realizes their traditional look is what works, the better.
Take it from someone who wore two unbearably awful alternate jerseys.
Sad!!! https://t.co/ej6xNp5Pus

Although the initial tweet was a hoax and I disagree with Mr. Lynch about that purple uni, you’ve got to respect the pain he still has over those abominations he was forced to wear.
Also, this.
While I have the attention of Dawg fans re: Jerseys. It’s important to highlight that @GeorgiaFootball should bring back block numbers.

I generally agree with Mr. Lynch – our traditional look is hard to improve upon – however I don’t understand his strongly held feelings on the bulldog illustration. Both the old and new look fine – I’ve never really loved either one – and the new isn’t nearly as pervasive as the old.

The new bulldog looks like some generic clip art you’d find in Word from Windows 95. It’s an effortless insult to the rich tradition and character of Georgia Athletics. The fact that it was approved under the “leadership” of Big Ears is all you need to know. I will never buy an item if it contains that abomination.

I don’t have a problem with the new bulldog artwork (though I do prefer the old, “jowlier” version), but yeah, the block letters need to come back. And no uniform variations beyond red shirts/silver britches for home games and white/silver on the road. Talk all you want about how special unis attract interest from The Youths, Bama doesn’t fuck with their uniforms and it doesn’t appear to have dinged their recruiting one bit.

I had to look up the second alternate. I remember the “power rangers” to open 2010, so I’m guessing the other was the black helmet/pants for Ajax in 2009? That was truly awful.

The black pants/white jerseys are ok. The black helmet was not ok. The Power Rangers unis were awful. Any combination of red/black pants/jerseys is awful.
Wear the red helmets. If we switch in red or black pants with the white jerseys? Fine. Mix in black jerseys? Also fine, but only with silver or white pants. Red on red is an abomination. Our players, would look like oversized blood clots. No. Just no.

I’ve never understood why Clempson cherishes the purple. It’s from when John Heisman came from Auburn to start their program and he had to bring old, faded blue unis with him because IPTAY was not yet a thing.

The red pants should never be worn with anything other than white jerseys (and even then, only on a special occasion – in Knoxville or Lexington – I believe we were in red pants for “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!”. Otherwise, it’s silver britches. I totally agree with Lynch on bringing back the classic block letters and numbers.

The red pants were worn in Lexington for the “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” game in ’78 during the Wonderdawgs season. The Silver Britches were not an option during the ’77 through ’79 seasons; home games were white pants and away were red. They came back in time for the National Championship run in’80.

For a guy who isn’t a southerner by birth he gets it. And honestly, I don’t understand why this is thought to be a recruiting asset.

I think the new numbers and font are so much better than the generic block letters that look like they are iron-ons from a little league team.
As a logo, the new dog better than the old – much easier to cleanly reproduce and stand out from the background. Unless it’s going for a vintage look. However, I choose the Power G over a dog 99% of the time.

The entire Nike redesign was trash! The font, clip art bulldog, and rounded numbers are trash compared to the old stuff. That said, I kinda like the color rush idea and I loved both alternates from last year! Red pants/white tops and the blackout ones should be in the regular rotation once a year each.

My understanding about the classic Bulldog head on the left is that it has entered public domain, so the University won’t use it on anything official as it could be copied.
