[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 841868, member: 4572"] For whatever reason we really seem to love matching helmet colors and other uniform options with the other team’s colors when there is very clearly another option. We’ve worn G/W/G against 2 teams in back-to-back weeks who pretty much exclusively wear gold helmets, yet we wore white against Miami who is basically always in white helmets. We wore navy elements against UVA and UNC when they’re both navy and have no gold. We’ve done this for years now I don’t get it. Why would you want to look as much like the other team as possible? Shouldn’t you want to distinguish yourself as much as possible? Are we trying to wear as many of the same colors in hopes the other team gets confused? Just by my counts in 2019 we wore the same color helmet as the other team’s primary/only helmet color 4 times: Citadel (white) NC State (white) UVA (white) Pitt (gold/yellow) 5 times in 9 games during 2020 Florida State (gold) UCF (gold) Notre Dame (gold) NC State (white) Pitt (gold/yellow) 4 times in 2021 Kennesaw (gold/yellow) Miami (white) Boston College (gold) Notre Dame (gold) I just don’t understand why we seem to be intentionally matching our helmet colors to the opponents’, and if it’s not the helmet it’s the jersey or pants [/QUOTE]
