Same here.

Apparently it’s a touchy subject with the booms, though.

They like that tradition.

The Gold-Purple-Gold look is so nice.





I wish we’d wear it more, but I do love the tradition of wearing white

People think of the purple ones that were basically see thru and garbage thru the 80s and 90s and hate them
The ones the last 15 years are great

It’s our best uniform. But small minded people get hung up on silly traditions like wearing white, H goal posts, #7, #18, Neck, etc.

My first game I watched was when Cholly Mac was coach in the late 70’s. Then when Stovall was appointed after Rein’s plane crash they went to purple. It was an NCAA rule and I remember the actual Boomers (like my parents) went nuts.

We had some rough losses in the old purple, but we had some glorious wins as well. Truth is I prefer the uniform with purple shirts like what we had last Saturday, but I am old and it’s just nostalgic for me to watch them in that color combo.

But hey - just win and they can wear pink tutus if they want. Just win.

I just wish they would go back to the full shoulder stripes. That damn half stripe looks stupid.

A lot of us who watched the Tigers through much of the 80’s and 90’s when they were forced to wear purple at home have a hard time wanting to see too much of it…but I like the couple of games they wear it as a change of pace. I really love the white-purple-white combo.

I always liked them too. White is a tradition that we won't go away from, but I'm glad we wear the purple at least once a year.

Lots of people have bad associations re purple jerseys and the bleak era of Archer's last two years and then Hallman. My years of going to games in high school & college were Stovall, Arnsparger, and then Archer's first two years. We had a couple of bad years with Jerry, but had some good winning seasons in that stretch too. So purple is a little nostalgic for me I guess.

I definitely think our traditional white should be our uniform we wear for big games.

That being said I'd like to see the white/purple/white for an SEC game a year or two.

Why do you people insist on changing what is the greatest uniform in all of football?

Purple looks great; but the gold hats, white jerseys, and gold pants is by far the best combination of all time.

Good Lord, this reads like an article from Vogue........"the purple is bold but not over-stated"

The purple jerseys and white pants and helmet are legit.

The purple jerseys with gold pants and helmet are laughably bad and look like some Walmart JV SWAC bullshite

If I were in charge I would keep doing one game of purple/yellow for the home cupcake opener, one home game with a special uniform (lean purple/white but mix in some of the other good ones like the old gold throwbacks) and then the rest of the year wear traditional white

That would be a 5:1 ratio of tradition/alts and I feel that’s about right for us
