Generally, I'm not a fan of red out, blackout, whiteout, etc. games. I think it's just a cheap stunt. But if the seniors want it, they've got my support. My general rule of thumb is this, "Beat the Gators and you get at least one no questions asked favor granted."
I was planning on wearing a black shirt anyway. So it doesn't alter my plans much.
As for black jerseys rumors:
On the call in show, Richt said that you can't just decide at the last minute that you want a team full of black jerseys. He also said there was no symbolism behind it. It's just a solidarity thing, and the players requested it. When it comes from the team, I'm down with it.
All that said, Nike has produced a black UGA jersey for retail sale since at least 2005. I have one of them linked above. I personally wouldn't have a problem with black jerseys and the silver britches. We'd look like the Oakland Raiders only with red helmets. If they wore them, I'd be down with it. Just NO BLACK PANTS. Nothing positive has ever happened in black pants. (Update: I stand corrected. We beat the hell out of Wisconsin in black pants. So we're 1-1 in black pants)
But realistically, I don't think we'll wear different unis on the field. And that's actually my preference.
It obviously won't make a hill of beans difference, but I'm receptive to anything that involves the team being a tiny bit more geeked up to beat Auburn. I'm 2-6 when watching UGA play Auburn in Athens. I'm down with anything to mix it up.
