My concern, and I'm sure someone smarter than me has studied this and hopefully proved me wrong, is that alternate uniforms can affect the players reads and reaction times. You practice in orange or white. Your brain gets trained to recognize friend or foe based on those colors. Then, you're asked to change that up and add black or smokey gray into the mix. Can you do it? Sure. But, in week 9 can it affect you even a little bit? Can it cause a half second lag in your reaction time? Does your brain dismiss an enemy player in white vs a friendly player in black because you are used to that orange or white dynamic? Does that contribute to missed blocks or tackles or interceptions even slightly?
My concern is it does and I want us to have every advantage available, especially against the tougher teams.

Keep the alternative uniforms for home coming where we can afford any negative effect. Give us every advantage against SEC teams.

My only complaint is when we lose in alternates, we get goofed extra hard for pulling out “gimmicks” and losing anyway.

I don’t agree that it’s a gimmick, but that’s the narrative and it isn’t changing.

Whether people want to admit it or not there are some recruits are drawn to uniforms. They like the change up. I enjoy the different uniforms as a change. I also know there are people who don't like them. I don't hate on anyone who doesn't like them but the uniforms have nothing to do with the way we play the game.

Alternate uniforms don’t make them miss tackles, drop balls, or commit penalties either. We do that plenty in orange too.

I’m aware of that and that wasn’t the point at all. The point is we can dark mode, grey out, orange helmet, whatever. You don’t need to build hype and risk causing any distractions for big games. We do all that and play like garbage prime time on national television. Time to remove ALL of the distractions and go back to the basics. Alternate uniforms don’t make you play better or worse but it is a distraction in my opinion. And that’s just my opinion, if you disagree that’s perfectly fine.

Never thought of it that way, would love to hear some former players opinions.
