I'm curious which part you disagree with. Do you disagree with the players being allowed to choose alternate uniforms and when to wear them?

I disagree with the alternate uniform. I'm a Orange and White guy

With all due respect, I am beginning to care less and less what the players think about this matter. I refuse to lump all of them into the same proverbial boat, but far too many of them now treat college football, particularly the transfer portal, like a turnstile, with no loyalty whatsoever to the university, their coaches or, ultimately, their own teammates. Opting out of the Orange Bowl, for example, if you aren’t in the playoff, is despicable.

When it comes to our school colors, I have yet to hear a compelling argument for minimizing the most distinctive and, arguably, prettiest color scheme in all of college athletics in favor of alternative uniforms or the “stormtrooper” look. We went on a fall-foliage vacation to the Idaho Rockies last month and can report that at least a dozen people started conversations with us almost the moment they saw us. Why? Because of the Tennessee orange regalia that we wore. ‘tis one of the best conversation starters imaginable, simply because of its recognizability. DO NOT POLLUTE OUR BRAND!!

I admit I was a bit surprised last Saturday.
