    I can't think of a single program that uses black to delineate between their two primary colors. Can you?

    About as easy as thinking of a team that hasn't worn black

    I'm sure a few have, but to my knowledge most of the teams with strong winning Football traditions haven't worn black jerseys unless it was already part of their primary colors.

    Will probably look about as good as the gator skin unis from the A&M game in 2017. Hopefully this gimmick will meet a similar fate.

    Not really sure how that compares when everyone wears white.

    Black and white are both neutral colors....the black for uga is comparable to the white for Bama or Tenn. And everyone doesn't wear white every week, plenty wear black

    Aren’t almost all teams white on the home or away jersey in every major sport on the planet every other week?

    I took this to be a discussion of home unis since away team wears light jerseys (unless flipped like lsu)

    Well the helmets are the most defining part of every jersey combo, it's always the primary focus and ours will not be hard to spot so that helps you with that issue, and also besides Tennessee's super bright orange which I imagine jumps out at you against that black like it does to me the other 3 teams all have a different kind of red tone which is also lucky for anyone having a hard time differentiating the shades because we will have orange and blue popping off of the black which itself is different from any other team we'll be playing.

    I highly doubt you'll have a hard time figuring out which team is the Gators if for no other reason than we'll be only team that will be wearing black in the game.

    Any thoughts on kickoff time for this one? It's the only game I can make this year.

    Most likely it will be announced the week before the game.

    Thanks. I was hoping there was some insider formula that I wasn't privy to. IF game 1 is X AND game 2 is Y, THEN game 3 is Z unless Y + X = ESPN AND it's the 1st Saturday of November

    Since there are two networks broadcasting SEC football, there is some formula that allows CBS to pick the games, then ESPN most but not all weeks. Some of those choices can be made relatively close to the game time whereas some are made prior to the season (like Florida-Georgia). Its frustrating for fans that aren't local and have to plan travel to be able to take in a game, similar to fans having already had to purchase Utah tix prior to learning that it would be a Thurs night game.
