Every sports fan loves talking about their favorite team's jersey. Georgia football fans are no different. Just two weeks ago when Georgia beat Tennessee, UGA fans were begging Kirby Smart to have the team wear their black jerseys during the blackout of Sanford Stadium.

Unfortunately that did not happen, and Smart made it very clear later on that he doesn't care what jerseys fans want them to wear. But that statement isn't stopping Georgia fans from getting in another debate about a jersey that hasn't been worn in quite some time.

Dog collar jersey

Let me clearly state that these jerseys are elite. Having something on your jersey that is unique just to Georgia will always be a win in my books, regardless of if the design is that great or not. Any team whose colors are black and red can have similar jerseys to Georgia, but none of them can have the dog collar feature added to them like this.

But not every Georgia fan agrees that these jerseys should be used in the future. In fact, many fans are very adamant that they do not like these uniforms at all.

So should Georgia wear them during the College Football Playoff like this post is suggesting? That probably isn't up to the fans to decide. It however should be decided by the players.

If the team approaches Smart and says they want to wear these, then I would hope Smart would listen to them and do so. But after what Smart said about wearing black jerseys during the Tennessee game, that may not even be enough to convince him. So at the end of the day, this decision likely comes down to Smart and whatever he wants to do.

But hopefully he does choose to spice it up and use these uniforms, because why shouldn't Georgia want to show off their program's culture and wear something no other program would?
