You mean both are wearing Home Colors both games?

Dang I was hoping the White Helmets were back!

Whose making money off this decision?

I actually love this. Been asking why teams don’t do home jerseys when playing UcheaT for years. No chance of confusing the colors. Seems there’s a several schools you could wear dark v dark on

Wow! That should scare Bama right out of the stadium! Just like the Dawgs did with their Black jerseys.

It woudn't scare a Nick Saban led Bama team. I am not so sure about a Kalen DeBoer led Bama team.

Whew!

I thought this was going to be the annual white helmet thread...

I like it as well. I've always enjoyed the USC / UCLA game with the scarlet and sky blue jerseys.

Years ago, my dad told me that the general move toward visiting teams wearing white jerseys started because of TV. At the time, color television was rare to non-existent, and it was hard for viewers to tell which team was which on B&W screens -- everything was a shade of gray.

Obviously, that hasn't been an issue for some time now. Provided the colors are dissimilar enough to avoid confusion, I'd like to see a return to more school color jerseys.

your Dad was correct. The 1969 Bama-Ole Miss(still the best game I have ever attended) was broadcast in color but only 33% of the households had color TV at that time. We still had B&W studio cameras in the campus ETV studio where I worked while in school. After I graduated; I sold them color cameras. My company also rented the first video cameras to tape the Bear Bryant show when they converted from film. I actually operated one of the cameras from the press box.

Hey! let's choose a color not in our color wheel and wear jerseys of that color. That'll show'em!
We've got tradition, yes we do! We've got tradition so we're breaking it for you!

Hot take: ANY Bama coach or AD who ever agrees to ridiculous jersey unveilings should be fired 5 seconds later.

Absent success and winning tradition revert to tricks and gimmicks to create a buzz. Gonna end deliciously once their pumpkin shaped coach leaves them for his alma mater.

Oklahoma; for some strange reason, just gave Venables a contract extension.

And we know it is worth the paper it is written on. First 4-7 season, backchannel comminutions with pumpkin boy boom, new sooner at the helm.

I am ambivalent.

I did notice people online blaming Nick Saban for this never coming to pass before, but I distinctly recall Mal Moore was against it. UT has wanted this for years.
