Jerseys

Certainly most games Georgia should and will wear red jerseys at home and white jerseys on the road. But there’s a lot Georgia could do from a jersey standpoint.

The most obvious alternate jersey is the black jersey. fans want it, they’ve wanted black jerseys for a long time. And when they finally got those black jerseys, they were gone after just two seasons and three games.

Besides that another obvious choice is a throwback. Georgia’s current style is very simple and takes obvious design cues from Vince Dooley’s 1964 design. But just like with helmets, the Wally Butts era gets neglected when it comes to uniforms.

A throwback to this era could include a simple red jersey with no extra designs and simple silver block numbers.

A final silver jersey could be worn on the road and take inspiration from Georgia’s basketball team. Georgia often times wears silver at home basketball games and it seems that since Georgia began wearing silver “britches” in the 1930’s, every other team at Georgia has used silver more than the football team.

These jerseys would also be well within NCAA rules since Ole Miss wore light grey jerseys as a road alternate a few years ago.
