Chip Towers actually goes to the trouble of debunking the latest chatter about uniforms.
Georgia traditionalists can relax, however. While all-white “unis” were a hit with recruits, the Bulldogs specially ordered only a handful of them specifically for use during recruiting visits and have no plans to wear them this season or anytime soon.
Asked about the chances of Georgia playing a game in the all-white uniforms, a person familiar with Bulldogs’ football operations responded with an all-cap text: “ZERO.”
This isn’t a reflection on Chip so much as it is on a portion of the fan base that gets itself wired up on the possibility that this will be the year that Georgia starts going Oregon with its team gear. Not gonna happen.
Wear them or not, I do think they look sharp. I like the white helmet especially. Beats the hell out of the old Grambling black.

Red helmets, red/white jerseys, silver britches is such a classic look I can’t fathom why any serious Georgia fan would want to mess with it.
I mean, Oregon’s a fun program to watch and everything, but it ain’t like their bazillion uni combinations have helped them win any titles.

I prefer my uniforms like the city classic. I’m just fine winning every game in comfortably boring fashion. No fake juice needed. The last forty years has taught me to appreciate everything Kirby and company have got going on.

I actually wouldn’t mind that for a game. But by shutting this possibility down publicly now (Chip may be carrying Kirby’s message he wants to convey) there are no expectations going into the fall. Then if it DOES happen, it will be a shock and surprise when they come out of the locker room, whenever that would be.

This is the answer. I do like the throwback whites, they’re subtle anyway, but they also accurately match the early 80s look. “Varsity striping” on the shoulders looks better than the mass produced nike stretch striping, IMO.

I actually think the all whites look cool and would not mind seeing them in a game or two here and there.
That being said in my very biased opinion I think the Georgia home red and silver britches is one of the best and most classic uniforms in college football. I feel the same about Michigans helmets with blue tops and maize pants (the all blue look in the orange bowl was almost as disappointing as the wolverines play on the field, hey ohhh!!!!), usc, and Notre dames home uniforms.
I also liked the road whites and red pants we wore against Arkansas in 2020. I think our black uniforms are ugly and not just because of the 2008 black out, I just much prefer our red and silver over the black.

I like them. I also like the Black jerseys (w/ red helmet & silver britches – last seen vs Cincinnati – Peach Bowl 2021), Black pants (w/ red helmet & white jersey – last seen with this combination vs Wisconsin – Outback Bowl 1998), Red pants (red helmet & white jersey – last seen vs Arkansas 2020). I don’t want them to be an every game thing, but I like the good uniform combinations once or twice a year. If it looks good, why must it be blasphemy to wear them every now and then? No one is saying to bring back the bad uniforms (i.e., the power rangers vs Boise State in 2011 or the Black helmets/Black pants vs Florida in 2009). The 3 combinations that I’ve named look good and are not stupid looking like every Oregon uniform combination. If you want to be technical, why can’t we have actual Silver britches again? We used to wear them, but all we seem to wear now are a shade of gray that doesn’t look that good.

Well said, 93. The black jersey is awesome. The red or black pants with the white jersey is awesome. The white on white with a red helmet would look sharp as a pre-silver britches throwback. The red jersey should only go with the silver britches. No red on red or black on black. Never, ever mess with the red helmet with the Power G.
