how many blue bloods wear alternates half the season?

Well, I know what the frick I’m talking about because fact of the matter is we wore alternate uniforms half of our games last season it’s bullshite.

The kids don’t freaking make the rules. The school makes the rules ….tradition makes the rules, especially in this day of NIL with these motherfrickers liable out don’t be here next year

Now the standard has been set. You’re lucky enough to have a seat at the table!!!


6 times in one year is fricking swac level Bush league shite.
Yes other schools mentioned have periodically worn a different uniform and I’m not opposed to that at all…. but six out of 12 are you fricking kidding me ????
The gold purple gold combo is legit.
All this other crap is garbage.

Stop trying to defend the shite. I don’t give a frick if you’re 50 or 12 if you’ll notice about half of the folks in this thread, agree half don’t
I would assume the half that agree are probably people that aren’t 14 to 25 years old and Johnny-come-lately fans that pick and choose what uniforms they choose each team to wear on their freaking PlayStation ncaa college football game.

Let's see how many games "tradition" can win, chief. The more you stick to what used to be, the further you fall behind in reality.

You don’t have any idea what you are talking about beyond the tip of your own nose. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but they aren’t going to change a damn thing and I’m laying out why that is.

You are objectively wrong about one thing. Traditions don’t make rules. They never
have and never will. We were forced to go away from wearing white at home years ago because traditions don’t make rules. The NCAA made a rule and it changed what we wore for 15+ years. I’m glad that rule changed, but it’s an example of how some traditions die as things change in the sport.

We will no longer play State, Auburn and likely UF on a yearly basis like we have the last 40 years because traditions don’t mean shite in this new era of NIL and realignment. We have played State longer than any other program, by the way. Before last year, we had the longest unbroken games streak against them snapped. I’m not claiming this a good thing, but it’s sure as hell reality. We have it a lot better than others like the PAC 12 orphans, but it’s a shake up that affects every program.

You can lump Tulame into this. We will never play them home and home or 2 for 1 again because of the current situation in the sport. Any consideration of this was just killed by the SEC’s new scheduling mandate. This was a traditional matchup for over 60 years. It’s gone. Some transitions will disappear and others will change. That’s just how this sport works.

Here’s a new one that I mentioned above. Tennessee just got a $10 mil per year deal plus extra NIL incentives (a nearly $5 mil per year raise over ours) from Adidas. No one wants to acknowledge this, but it’s a potentially big change. That’s a lot more money for their rev share and it’s going to shake up the equipment deal market. We should have at least that big of a deal based on exposure and past success when ours comes up in 2026, but you had better believe it will come with strings attached. Who knows what they will be, but it very well could affect what we wear on the field.

And go back and read dummy- I’ve made it clear that my personal opinion is 4 games in other uniforms should be the max. I also thought last year was too much, even if I believe there are legitimate reasons to have the alternates in the mix.

You certainly are convinced your opinion matters. I know for a fact neither yours, mine, nor anyone else’s beyond a very small number of very big and influential boosters does when it comes to how this is going to work in the future. You can be mad while it happens, or you can just accept it as like some of us, but it’s going to keep happening either way.

Actually, I do know what I’m talking about.
It’s a fact that half of our football games last year alternate uniforms were worn. That was my entire point ….you on the other hand turned this into something else wanting everybody to know or at least think that you’re smarter than you really are . Pushing you’re own narrative


Also you’re not comparing apples to apples when talking about tradition and not playing other teams
There’s plenty of money to be made in college football without changing the shirt color that you choose to wear on the field…. Hell two games last year we wore the same exact all white uniforms!!!
Nike wants their brand out there. Adidas wants their brand out there.
You’ve made this way harder than it needs to be with your 87 paragraphs typed.

I’d bet most LSU fans don’t want to see us turn into Oregon in regards to football uniforms.
That’s the point.

Ok ? Is that hard to comprehend?

This isn’t MY narrative. I’m good with 3 or 4 games per year and I don’t want to ever see a non school color like Black or Gray or any changing up of the existing uniform style. I’ve made that abundantly clear. That IS what Oregon does and anyone who compares what happened here last year to that is lazy as hell. That’s a bullshite false equivalence and you know it.

What I pointed out was the opinion of the greatest coach in football history on the topic while he was here. Players don’t want to wear the same thing all the time. And if you think they don’t have a lot more power in the sport today than in the past, then you are living in the past. That genie isn’t going back in the bottle.

I pointed out that other schools, even ones that you and others have tossed around as examples of conservative traditionalism, are doing these same things. I pointed out UT’s new $10 million deal with Adidas and how that will likely kick off a mini-arms race of programs looking for Nike and other to match or exceed that number. That’s going to change things. Nearly doubling our current deal will require more sales and that’s just the fricking real world, man. I don’t know what else to tell you. You don’t have to be smart to figure this shite out. Go ahead and stick your head in the sand, but this is happening everywhere and it’s going to keep on happening here.

I do hope Kelly will take control of what the team wears for games back from the players, because based on his comments last year, that’s why we wore different uniforms 6 times. I don’t think they should have the final say on that.
