Uniforms announced for Florida

JOHN FORNEY was the first one I heard complain about the "Pale orange numbers hard to read" Way before your time.

uhm you quoted a guy that remembers having a ham and egg omelette 40 years ago

 

[JohnWardForever]

could tell that from when he did the NC game

Yep. Jackson was UGA Homer. And basically whoever was playing Tennessee. Voted for Charles Woodson.. That's all you need to know. So do they let Frauds in Heaven?

I figured about 10% on here would know who John Forney was. Forney & Doug Layton with Jerry Duncan on the sideline. I had to listen to them here when they played UT.

I’m older than you think, however, I’ve never listened to the Alabama sports network .

If you lived in Mobile, and wanted to listen to the Tennessee game that's what you did.

I really liked the black border around the numbers.

Play by play guys back in the day almost insisted on it. orange on white was/is hard to see.

I lived and worked in Montgomery, AL just long enough to earn the money to fix my car and leave. My only fond memory of that time was receiving my acceptance and financial awards letters from UT. Finally, I was going to college.

Jackson absolutely hated Tennessee..

He was an Alabama fan and friend of the Bear.

Mobile WAS a great City to live in back in the 1970's. Montgomery not that bad then. Both are pathetically run Munys now, the reason for the exodus to Baldwin County, where I live now.

Those guys were ok. Eli Gold is fingernails on the chalkboard as far as I can see. Bama fans swear he's "the best", but it sounds like a NASCAR event (which he did on the side).

I grew up in Alabama, and fortunately, close enough to Fayetteville to get John Ward, but it wasn't a rock solid signal. At times it faded out. Coaches shows were the only place you could get a "visual" on yesterdays game. Until then, it was just the picture the play by play guy painted in your mind. Suffered through the "Bear Bryant Show". Thank God for John Ward. Keith Jackson had a man crush on Bear Bryant, and like stated before, didn't give the VOLS any credit for anything. He had to swallow a hairball in the Arizona desert when we won the natty beating FSU.

Did you go to high school in Montgomery? What year did you graduate?

No. I was out of high school, working to save money, and applying to various universities, hoping one would award me the grants, loans, and scholarships for which I qualified. Universities’ financial aid offices controlled the disbursement of federal as well as state programs at the time.

Edit: It was the early 70s.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

love those uniforms.

 

[Wireless1]

As long as the helmets are white, we seem to have issues with non-white helmets.

I remember those days. I graduated from Wetumpka in 70 and started at UT in June 1970. I was lucky in that I had a POTSB scholarship.

 

[terrypedigo]

oh sure but I'm not gonna gripe because of a uniform discusison.

Just kick there azz.

 

[DenVol]

hell yeah! Our best roadies! 2nd best uniforms we wear besides the classic home orange jersey and white pants.

 

[Prayivm3rcy]

Bring back the black outline around the numbers on the Storm Troopers!

Nope

 

[ChrisVFL]

My favorite uniform combination. Ice Cold Vols. GBO

 

[Arrested Devolopment]

Perfection!

 

[CAVPUT]

I think Milton plays better away from Neyland.

Well, he doesn't lose in Florida....or so I've been told.

 

[camp_steveo]

I like the all white uniforms at night. It should give Milton some contrast when aiming his passes down the field.

Total Blue background white targets .. Will assist

 

[fossilfiction]

The right choice was made.

 

[Vol737]

All white on the road has always been my favorite. Especially when this guy went down to Athens, GA in 92' and showed the "foregone conclusion national champions" how football was really played.
