    Now it is the home team's option to wear whatever they want. We choose to wear white at home (usually). Most other teams normally wear dark at home, leaving us to wear white again. Florida usually wears blue at home, but usually chooses white at home against LSU - hmmm.

    I seem to remember us having trouble with some visiting teams not letting us wear white when Dinardo was here. Wasn't that what the "White out Vandy" was all about. I believe the SEC states home team wears the colored jersey. This weekend check out all home sec teams. The visiter will be in white. Hugh, did they change this rule in the SEC in the last couple of years.

    You are both right. In the past there were guidelines. Dinardo petitioned the league to get us permission to wear white at home. The league said OK, but only if visitors agree. This led to the Vandy deal.

    I think a couple of other schools followed suit and wanted to wear white at home too.

    A couple of years ago the NCAA sait "Just forget it. It's simpler to let the home team have choice." So the guidelines have been scrapped.

    Home team choice makes sense. I would like to see purple saturday. I thinkd it would be great. It certainly wouldn,t effect the play of the team.

    apparently there's some obscure SEC rule about home teams wearing the color of their choice

    i think they just didn't know about it against Vandy or Dinardo used it as a ploy

    when spurrier wanted to wear white, the rule was brought up and enforced.
