Georgia can use alternate uniforms and still be traditional

Once again, the Oregon approach will be going too far in the wrong direction for Georgia. The Bulldogs shouldn’t wear a different combination every Saturday. In fact the primary style should be worn for at least half of the regular season.

As an example, here’s Georgia’s 2017 football schedule and how they could use alternate styles throughout the football season.

Key: helmet/jersey/pants

Vs. Appalachian State: Red/Red/Silver
At. Notre Dame: Red/White/Silver
Vs. Samford: Silver/Red/Silver (retro-modern)
Vs. Mississippi State: Red/Red/Silver
At. Tennessee: Red/White/Red
At. Vanderbilt: Red/Silver/Silver
Vs. Missouri: Red/Red/Silver
@. Florida: Red/Red/White
Vs. South Carolina: Red/Black/Silver
At. Auburn: Red/White/Silver
Vs. Kentucky: Silver/Red/Silver (throwbacks)
At. Georgia Tech: Red/White/Silver OR Red/Black/Black

SEC Championship Game: Red/White/White
Bowl game: Red/Red/Black OR Red/White/Black
National Title game (If possible): Red/Red/Silver OR Red/White/Silver

It can be done without the Oregon approach very easily. Georgia will always look like Georgia, whether it’s a throwback, blackout, or a simple tweak to the traditional style.
