According to NCAA rules the Home team has to wear there teams colors the visitor wears white. The exception is when the home team requests a special dispensation from the visiting team to be able to wear white.

Most teams have given that permission this year.

Therefore we should be able to wear white since we are the visiting team.

We were told GT has some different unis we haven't seen yet this year. We've worn white 12 games this year, mostly with white pants on the road and mustard gold at home. But I wouldn't mind seeing us in some navy blue jerseys they supposedly bought, with the white pants....

I would also love those mustard yellow jerseys with the white pants and white helmet that we wore on the thursday night game against uva a few years ago

We (Tech) will be wearing white pants, white jersey, and gold helmets for the game. That is what CPJ said on his radio show last week. I think we look pretty good in that combination.

According to Dan Cathy,both teams will wear white. Chick-fil-a feels it will be more interesting that way.

Also, after the game, all the traffic lights in downtown Atlanta will be green. Both directions.

Man, it's gonna be fun!

I say we go with white helmets, gold jerseys, and white pants. I say do everything possible to let the kids enjoy their experience.

Is this the Oregon Duck board? C'mon guys...you should have 2 unis - home and away. Throwbacks and different color combinations are a mockery to tradition. And uniforms don't make you run faster or play any better.

On the contrary -- or in honor of our esteemed hosts, au contraire -- the whole point of the thread is that Holy LSU Tradition includes only one uniform combination.

Which is white jerseys both at home and on the road.

GT is the one other major-college program that abides by the same tradition, since at least the 1950's. Though we haven't kept to our traditions as avidly as LSU, as shown in part by the arena league look adopted on the Flats this year. Not my favorite, but it looks good streaking down the sidelines on an option pitch.

So, hey, it's all relative. And down here in LA and GA, we mean that literally.

GT fans, and I suspect LSU fans as well, know we can't touch the Big Ten and especially Ohio State for Perfect Holy Tradition. If only leather helmets and metal spikes were still legal, all would be right in Buckeye World!

Finally, you may be right about new uniforms having no effect on team speed. But in the last few seasons tOSU has proven the inverse beyond the shadow of a doubt: NOT changing uniforms definitely DOESN'T help team speed!

Good luck against Texas!

I tried to tell this retard that just because Alleva's email said "paint the town purple" didn't mean we were wearing purple.
