Gamecocks reveal uniform combination for season opener

The South Carolina Gamecocks announced their “battle armor” for tomorrow’s clash against North Carolina, and in case you haven’t seen it yet, spoiler alert: it’s the all-white “Stormtrooper” look.

While the video reveal was excellent as usual, I gotta admit I’m not feeling it. I know the all-whites are beloved by many in the USC fanbase, but I’m a notable weirdo who doesn’t find them particularly inspiring. I enjoy our school colors, and more to the point, every team out there has a white uniform. It’s got a certain simplicity and clean edge to it that I can appreciate, but in general, I find it kinda visually uninteresting. What say y’all?

Also, speaking of excellent video work, the crew blessed us with another pre-game production to get us hyped:

This and another video they posted earlier in the week are interesting, because it takes more of a solemn approach to the start of the season, as opposed to the typical highlight reel interspersed with smack talk, pump-up jams, etc. Hopefully it means the team is focused and ready to go, fight, win, and kick ass.
