The Red Pants Discussion

Yesterday, I posted a link to Herschel in the Red Pants in Knoxville. That created some discussion about the desire to maybe break those out again some day. I would argue the decision should be driven by the "luck factor":

• We should only wear "silver britches" in Athens. So that leaves road games for red.
  
• Richt is 19-2 in an opponent's stadium. He's not going to throw out his lucky pants to bust out red with that sort of winning percentage. Nor should he.
  
• We're 5-8 in neutral sites (Jax, SECC and Bowl) under Richt. And we're 13-16 in neutral sites since 1990. If we were going to break out the red pants, let's do it in Jacksonville when we're the road team (odd numbered years).
  
• Don't break 'em out in Auburn. We're 1-1 there with Richt. We're 4-3-1 there since '90, and that is considerably better than we've faired at home during that same time frame (2-6)

You've probably seen these pics before, but the guys at FootballHuddle.net photoshopped Red Pants onto our guys. Not bad.




Thoughts?
