Why did we not wear the orange pants and white tops in any away games this year? They demo'd them at that crazy Nike hype up, but never wore them this season? Still possible at a Bowl, but 50:50 odds of being home/away team.

Wonder why the staff showed off a new uni that would not be worn?

I personally would like all orange, but definitely wouldn't be bothered if they choose the smokey grays lol. They're all Tennessee uniforms and they all have orange in them.

Player staff gets to vote every week on the combo they want to wear, and the storm troopers are a favorite of theirs. IIRC.

I know we can't do it at home but gray helmet, white jersey and gray pants is a good combo.

Actually, I think we can do this.
The home team chooses their uniforms.
Both LSU and GaTech prefer their white tops and wear them in home games.

LSU had to fight for that right tho. The tradition started in 1958, when Coach Paul Dietzel decided that LSU would wear white jerseys for the home games. LSU went on to win the national championship that year. Since then, LSU continued to wear white jerseys at home games through the 18-year tenure of Charles McClendon. Then in 1983, new NCAA rules prohibited teams from wearing white jerseys at home. Because of this, LSU wore purple jerseys during home games from 1983 to 1994. The team's fans believed wearing purple jerseys were "bad luck" and often complained about being forced to wear purple jerseys at home although LSU won SEC championships in 1986 and 1988 wearing purple at home. In 1993, then-coach Curley Hallman asked the NCAA for permission to wear white jerseys at home during LSU's football centennial, but was turned down. In 1995, LSU's new coach, Gerry DiNardo, was determined to restore LSU's tradition of white home jerseys. DiNardo personally met with each member of the NCAA Football Rules Committee, lobbying LSU's case. DiNardo was successful, and LSU again began wearing white jerseys at home when the 1995 season began. In LSU's first home game with the white jerseys, unranked LSU prevailed in a 12–6 upset victory over #6 Auburn.

The 1995 rule allowing LSU to wear white at home had one stipulation: the visiting team must agree for conference and non-conference games. In 1997, the SEC amended its rule to allow the home team its choice of jersey color for conference games without prior approval of the visiting team. Therefore, only for non-conference home games does the home team seek permission to wear white jerseys at home. In 2009, the NCAA further relaxed the previous rule that required most away teams to wear white. The rule now states that teams must simply wear contrasting colors.

This will never happen. They're not going to mix and match the gray with our traditional uni.

Just keep in mind, it's senior night. Not "tradition" or "fan appreciation" night. Let the seniors go out how they want to go out...especially with a win.

Why not?
Not saying we have to be like Nike Daddy Oregon and have many different mix and match.
But, one or two might be fun for our players and something extra to show recruits.
