Ciaranowls Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I never realized how bright Georgia's red is until watching this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Recap of the CFP semis: Fantastic game out in Pasadena (both in aesthetics and on the field action- a classic and my Dawgs came out on top!) with both teams in their traditional home and road sets: The Sugar Bowl gave us the usual "big game" orange britches for Clemson and the standard Bama set. Also a classic looking game: For the natty, Georgia is the higher seed and will likely wear its home tops. On the other hand, I could see my Dawgs continue with the white given the recent success in big games (SEC title game and Rose Bowl). Coach Smart likes to instill a "business trip" attitude for away games. Also, I noticed an odd word mark in the Alabama end zone. It used a rounded edge on the letters that I've never seen them use before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 9 year old has an annoying follower in his class who decided one day to make fun of my kid's shoes because there wasn't any visible manufacturer's logo to be seen. My son asked me why it was so important for some of his friends to always wear Nike shoes. He's a pretty smart kid, so he basically only had to ask two questions. His first question... "What's so special about Nike shoes?" My answer... "They cost four times as much as yours, for no readily identifiable reason... that's kind of special." His second question... "Why does having that name on the side of their shoes mean so much to some guys?' My answer... "Some of your friend are mouth-breathing idiots who get their self-esteem out of boxes." Those answers seem to satisfy him for now. I'm sure when he's a teenager we'll have to revisit this crap. There's obviously only one real solution here. You're gonna have to start your own shoe company and charge everyone $500 for a pair. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard for me to get one bc my high school teams rarely kick FGs. -I could see UGa sticking with the white. Steelers did that against Arizona in Super Bowl. 13 hours ago, aawagner011 said: Also, I noticed an odd word mark in the Alabama end zone.

aawagner011 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Field coming together. Looks like it’s gonna be a great looking game. That paint looks like high quality for a turf field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I forgot it was in Atlanta... Lol this really is like a second SEC Championship game. There's going to be a lot of red (in different shades), but is Georgia wearing their home uniforms? They're technically (and practically) the home team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxy8s Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Per the team's Twitter, Georgia will be wearing the home reds. Love the decision to roll with the obvious uniform choice instead of overthinking it with the recent success in white (or god forbid, a blackout). However, the patch sucks. It makes the jersey too busy and the date just feels off. I get that the calendar flipped, but the game caps the 2017 season and the winner will claim the 2017 national championship. Would rather just use the stylized trophy/football without the numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 They're the higher seed as well..I wish one of the team's end zones would have been in crimson or red, instead of black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they do this for every year? Or was this a mistake? This is how it’s been for all three CFP National Championship games before this one. The game technically determines the champion for the 2017/18 season, and since the game takes place in the new year, it’s officially labeled as the 2018 CFP National Championship Game, hence the 2(=)18 patch. It was the same in the BCS era, it just wasn’t as obvious since the patch wasn’t just the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Yeah, they go by the year the game is played because playing the 2017 championship game in 2018 is confusing as hell. That's partly why the NFL went to numbering the Super Bowls chronologically instead of by year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
