    SC/Tenn/Candy/Georgia off the top of my head wear black in some shape or form during the season

    It's what the players like and thats why we do it. We arent a winning team with tradition (altho Georgia is and they still wear black) and have to do things like wear black to attract players

    Exactly just paying them is not enough. 18 year olds absolutely consider uniforms. Hell AJ Brown just said on a podcast he did not consider UGA bc they wear black socks

    Agree. We don't need to be wearing black in any of our sports. Stick with MS State colors of maroon and white all the time. You don't see traditional teams like Penn State and Alabama changing uniform colors.

    Black isn?t the issue.
    Just don?t wear them when the game is going to be 100+ degrees. It is beyond dumb.

    Practically everyone has done it - Kentucky, A&M, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, even Florida.

    The only schools I have not seen wear it are OM, Bama, Auburn, LSU, and Texas.

    And UGA has black as a primary color, they can of course do it as much as they want.

    If we?re going to wear black it should be to honor Leach with the Jolly Roger on the helmet. Once maybe twice, but only night games. At least be smart about it!

    I’m actually with you- I don’t like it either. But these spoiled kids of today get all this crap

    I'm fine with it for one OOC game a year.
    I remember reading that baseball changed to maroon after football chose the color. Before that they wore black, white, and grey.

    Nearly every major team has a variety of alternate uniforms and color patterns. Oregon made it very popular several years ago with all of the different uniform combinations they put together and yes young kids like to see it and be part of it. I understand alot of the old school fanbase doesn't care for it but it is mostly about recruiting. I personally don't mind it, I just want to see wins and could care less.
