Message: [QUOTE="TigerSmith, post: 767424, member: 3809"] Until the start of the 2011 season, Clemson wore all sorts of combinations of orange, purple and white. That started under Tommy Bowden who let the seniors pick the colors for just about every game. That practice resulted in some garish combinations - like orange pants and purple jerseys under our signature orange helmets. I heard too many fans say, "I don't care if they wear pink as long as they win." Well guess what? We weren't winning. I consider it part of Dabo's maturation process that he put an end to the multiple combos after the 2010 season that almost cost him his job. Sure it was a little thing but it contributed to the lack of focus on that team. Since then we have worn orange jerseys on white pants at home and "road whites" away from Death Valley. No exceptions. The team considers those colors to be their "business suits" now. It seems to make a difference. Just putting that out there [/QUOTE]
