| FTBL Pat Forde's ESPN Column- humorous write-up on last weeks horrid uniforms

[reger60]

Nice column by Pat Forde. Some pretty funny stuff on college football uniforms.

On Saturday against Florida, Georgia (9) wadded up more than a half century of silver-britches tradition and tossed them in favor of black pants. And black helmets. Dash reaction: Look like Grambling State, play like Grambling State. The Dash was told the helmets alone cost Georgia roughly $13,000 -- pocket change for one of the richest football programs in America but money the swim team probably could have put to good use.

Dash of discipline, unis and key games

Also a couple of Bama mentions...

He's spot on about UGA. The crap they are doing with their unis is a shame.

And Saturday night, Tennessee (10) strutted some black jerseys with orange numbers against South Carolina. Dash reaction: Not quite as hideous as anticipated, but not exactly a look that evokes memories of Gen. Neyland, Johnny Majors, Reggie White and Peyton Manning. If the decidedly nontraditional Lane Kiffin thinks it would help him sign a recruit, the Volunteers would come running out through a cursive "T" before their next home game.

:lol:

Funny stuff.

Mark Richt is a clever man. Thos helmets will fetch a fortune on E-Bay, if shipping to the State of Florida is not too high. As for the swim team, I heard the black pants were actually made of Terry Cloth, so UGA's swim team has all new Black towel.
