I would rather look like any of those teams you listed than like UVA or Auburn. There was absolutely no reason to go with navy blue as a (at the time) tertiary color, and less as a secondary color now. True both Dodd and Alexander on occasion used navy blue jerseys, but until the NCAA demanded all home teams wear dark-colored jerseys in the 80s, our home uniforms 99+% of the time were white jerseys and gold pants. I like the black watch unis, but only for special occasions, and only if worthy of our defense. 1990 NC and 2014 OB notwithstanding I do NOT like blue jerseys, and especially I do not like blue pants or those hideous all blue ones we wore in Detroit.That's because way back then everything was in black and white. There was no such thing as navy. Gold was actually a light gray. In all seriousness, I like the idea of the black stripe and black GT on the helmet (if allowed) for defensive team members who EARN it, but I do like the navy as our accent color. Yes there are a lot of teams with navy as a primary color, but to me it seems like black is a color for even more teams. It isn't a primary or secondary, but seems to be used by most every team in some way or another. I, for one, do not want to look like Wake, Vandy, Purdue, Colorado, UCF, Army, App State, Iowa, Mizzou, ...
