God I hope not. We do not need gimmicks. White pants, white jerseys, normal orange helmet.

Tigergirlga I agree!
We don't need to be Oregon or UCF! Bama and Georgia are recruiting well and winning games as are we: "in traditional duds"! We need to keep it classic Tigers!

I too join those who aren't in favor of gimmicks. We brought out the orange pants 39 years ago and that was fine. In a bad year, it revved up the players & the DV crowd & we put a beatdown on Scar that day (a team w/a senior George Rogers almost nobody gave us a chance to beat). George went on to win the Heisman a week or 2 later, but we kept him - AGAIN - out of our endzone & CU chalked up a decisive victory. That was the beginning - as we would go on to win the N.Championship the next year.
I think we've MORE than arrived. Just go up there, be who we are and beat SYR - by a lot! We don't need anything extra.

I sincerely hope for your sake that one day before you die, you get to see this team play in a chrome helmet. I just hope I’m already dead and gone when that happens.

traditional UNI's that look great just as the different combos are now. I will allow the all purple out of respect to our men in uniform - you know, uniforms that represent our country - but that is enough imo.

Dabo shut this stupidity down hard earlier in the week.
When Swinney got the head coaching job at Clemson in December of 2008, one of the first things he wanted to do was learn what the Tigers’ real uniform was. So he enlisted the help of long time sports information director Tim Bourret and 1981 All-American Jeff Davis.
“I had a meeting and I said let’s talk about it. I wanted to know because I did not know what the traditional uniform of Clemson was because it was different all the time,” he said. “So, I kind of put some study into it and research and I said, ‘alright this is what we are going to do.’ I met with the team and I said we are going to quit worrying about the uniform. This is what we are going to wear at home.”
By the end of the 2010 season, Clemson’s uniform combination had reverted back to its traditional look from the mid-1970s through the early 1980s. At home, orange helmet with the orange jersey and white pants with two orange stripes down the side. On the road, they wear the all-white uniforms with the orange helmet.
The exceptions are in championship games or on Military Appreciation Day.
“If we have some type of championship on the line, whether it be a division, the state or the league or whatever, then we will wear the orange pants because that is something special here and I wanted to embrace that,” Swinney said. “We eliminated all of that. That is not going to come back. We wear the purple on Military Appreciation, that is kind of honoring our military heritage that we have here at Clemson. It is a big deal.
“Outside of that, I don’t think you will be seeing any different combinations, at least while I am the head coach.”

Well I guess if you say something long enough, loud enough, around enough people, one day someone might believe you. Only to find out you were wrong. Clemson will NEVER wear a different helmet as long as Coach Swinney is here, he is all about tradition and loyalty.
