CBJ: Orange Pants?

[thebjd]

I agree that orange pants are not appropriate for the workplace. We are talking, however, about gameday coaches' regalia. As a cultural anthropologist who specializes in the stylistic analysis of material culture (yes, that includes clothing), I would argue that the only stylistic limitations intrinsic to wearing orange pants, within the context specified, are (1) the fact that only neutral colors (white, black or gray) will decently complement our shade of orange; and (2) does the coach have the guts to wear them?

Gruden suggested in an interview that he probably would not, stating that they were a little loud for his taste. Neither did Fulmer, who jettisoned the orange road pants for a far-too-drab color scheme consisting only of an orange Power T against unstriped white pants.

For any Tennessee fan or coach, I would suggest that, if you have the guts, wear orange pants. You will be loud and very proud. For the record, I too have a couple of pairs of orange Nike sideline-style windpants.

I loved the power T against the unstriped white pants. The storm-trooper look was great. I wish we would bring that back with the over-sized numbers. See my avatar. Nice.

The wearing of The orange pants and The orange blazer should be earned. Bruce earned the right to wear the blazer.

Gimmicks suck.
We need performance on the field and continued positive results.

Too much recent negative history with those pants.

There's much more positive history than negative with those pants.

Maybe if you don't like our school colors, you could become an alabama fan?
