So I just finished reading T. Moore in the AJC who thinks we're overdoing this. If you know anything about him, he's a big Notre Dame guy and everything relates back to either race or the Irish. That came out wrong. Oh well.
Then I was wondering if there is an opinion one way or the other among PRFers?
10 - Let's change our permanent jersey to black
1 - Never liked it to begin with
Other voices...
-just be careful you don't overdo it.
-I'd like to see us don black helmets or pants (I'm sorry but black pants would be TIGHT!)
-fine to do it once a year
-do it as much as you want, just quit if you lose
-do it against Tech since they like to wear white at home
-do it for the night games
-save it for the Gators
Personally, it is the kind of thing that only needs doing once a year and you might want to shelve it for awhile if you lose in black. But I would also suggest if you think it is stale, you have forgotten what that stadium looks like all decked out. One of the strangest and coolest things I've seen, especially as the fans start to file in. I would like to see us wear black against Tech on the road. Even thought we might wear them in Jacksonville as we're home this year. Anything to get them upset. Any thoughts on this?

I love it, but it needs to be a special deal. I don't have any problem with doing it more than once a regular season....but it should not become the regular thing. Win or Lose...the point is to get everyone pumped up. If you worry about the W in the black...then it becomes superstition (we baseball coaches know this well) and it loses the edge it was created to bring.
By the way....black pants suck. Donnan did it and it was brutal.

Saturday's Alabama blackout won't include black helmets
Georgia broke out black jerseys for last year's blackout. Richt was asked if this blackout will have a new twist like black helmets.
"Come on, man," Richt pleaded. "Why are you doing that to me? There won't be any black helmets."
Love it!! I agree with Chunk on the pants. I don't want to become Oregon.
