Back in 2014 David Hood said Alabama wore crimson britches


Nov 12, 2019, 3:07 PM

And Ford took this idea and used it for the orange britches in 1980. https://www.tigernet.com/story/Are-the-orange-pants-back-for-big-games-12373
Are the orange pants back for big games?
The Clemson football team walked into the locker room after pre-game warm-ups Friday night at Sun Life Stadium, and found a surprise hanging in their lockers: orange pants. Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney told the team to "put on them britches" and go beat the Buckeyes. Could the orange pants be back for big games?


Can anyone prove this true or false?

If you try to go after David Hood's knowledge and research, even though you may win, it will feel like a loss.

LOL I don't doubt it, but it is a genuine question.

I've been seeing tennessee fans arguing that we took it from them but I remembered the Danny Ford nugget in the article.

I tried a little research myself but couldn't find it anywhere, was just hoping he could show me the light.

the team only wears orange pants for championship games (division, state, conference, CFP semi-final, and national championships).

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

I know. I was asking if there was any evidence of Alabama wearing crimson pants under Bear Bryant.

They wore white helmets a few times...

but I'm not aware of an occasion when Bama wore red pants.

And Bowl Championships. That's why they're worn for the simi-finals.

Not really answering the question. Hes asking about whether or not Danny Ford got the idea from Alabama back in 1980. Back then they were worn for big games but the championship requirement came along under Dabo.
