People are making way too big of a deal about the dang helmets and pants. Let me start by saying this, you open the door for this criticism when you change the uni's. If you change them, you better win. Because if you lose, there will be idiots that think the uniforms lost the game.
While this opens the door for the criticism, the resulting criticism is generally lame. The most annoying thing I keep hearing is that the staff should have spent more time game planning and less time wardrobe planning. I suppose these people think the coaches spent the bye week in endless meetings debating whether or not to wear black helmets and pants. Give me a break! Richt said they had the helmets last year. My guess is it was Richt's decision and not much discussion was held on the matter.
The other annoying thing I hear is that Georgia is above this...Alabama, USC, and so on don't do things like this. Well, I've got some news for you if you think that way. We aren't above anything right now.
What you have to remember is these are kids playing in those uniforms. They think it's cool. Whether it gives them extra motivation or not, it's something that is fun to do for them. I thought it was cool myself.
The only complaint I have is along the lines of part of what PWD said. I'll quote him.
I think special uniforms should be worn by special teams. You beat the Gators, you can have a blackout against Auburn. You get a Sugar Bowl birth, you can have a blackout against Hawaii. You come into the Bama game undefeated with ESPN Gameday in attendance, then sure...a blackout is fine.Now that I can agree with. The alternate uniforms should be a reward.
But 4-3 teams shouldn't get special treatment. They should just work harder. And by team, I mean coaches and players.
