Weighing in on the Uniforms

Alright, now that everyone had has gotten their anger and frustration out, here are my honest opinions on the Nike Pro Combat uniforms the Dawgs will wear in the Dome.

- I don't mind the red jersey and red pants. One of the most famous clips in Georgia history features red pants and at least we got to keep our red jerseys. I am just glad it is not black on black, cause that would have been awful.


- The silver helmet doesn't look too bad...except for that stupid red stripe. If it was just a thin red stripe like the white one on our regular helmets, it would have been great.

- These are definitely not as bad as they could have been. I still think the black pants and helmets from two years ago are worse.

- We only have to wear them for one game, so we can have a burning party after the Boise game to get rid of them.

- I am very glad that the helmet features our regular G logo instead of something like a Bulldog with his hat backwards like this:
- The players like them, but this is definitely not a motivational ploy. Nike required us to do this. The people complaining about Richt doing this for fake juice need to shut up.


While that may not be perfect, they could have been a lot worse. In two weeks, the uniforms will just be a memory.

Jacksonville - Bringning you the worst in football fashion since 2005

Why does it seem like both the Georgia Bulldogs and the Florida Gators need gimmicks to fire up their teams for the annual showdown in Jacksonville? One would think that nearly 100 years of games, often with SEC title implications, would be enough. But no. Florida recently announced they will wear their new Nike Pro Combat jerseys this Saturday. Here is a picture of what they will look like:I don't know what's worse, the alligator scales on their helmets or the black "Grambling knock-offs" that the Bulldogs wore last year.

Let's not forget that the Gators started all this ridiculousness with their one orange sleeve jerseys back in 2005.

Uniforms don't change the players who wear them. For a home game, they may make a difference, but in a game like this, they are just a distraction. Both Georgia (2008 vs. Bama and 2009 vs. Florida) and Florida (2009 vs. Bama and 2010 vs. LSU) have lost their last two games when wearing alternate iniforms. Let's hope that trend continues with a Georgia victory on Saturday.

GO DAWGS!!!

Is it just me...

Or do these new Falcons throw back jerseys...

Look an awful lot like these:

Hopefully they bring the Falcons better luck than they brought the Dawgs last season.
