wore their white road jerseys at home yesterday. Does anyone know why? I thought GT and LSU were the only major schools to do that.

I knew there were some new rules in place. I thought they allowed both teams to wear home jerseys if there was sufficient contrast and both teams agreed. I didn't realize they had a "whiteout" in Tallahassee yesterday. Looks like it whitewashed their offense. Why didn't they have a "garnet-out" or whatever color red it is they wear?
hahaCause it'd make sense....
New rule this year. A team may wear any color combo they want as long as the other teams agrees to it before hand.
Before, you weren't allowed to wear colors on the road.
Now you can, with agreement
That's the difference.
So what it sounds like you're saying is that the home team can request to wear white at home and can do so as long as the away team agrees but the away team, up until this year, couldn't request to wear their darker jerseys on the road?
I'm asking because I know that in the ACC for a number of years the home team has been able to request, prior to the start of the season, to wear white at home and the away teams had to agree to it.
Yes.

The point is that even as the rules have changed you were always "allowed" to wear colors on the road if the opposition agreed.
Also, I think the road team in the past could choose to wear white, forcing the home team to wear the colored unis. I believe that's the terminology I was officially told in 2000 and 2002 at BDS. Wake "had the first option to choose to wear white."
It was a special occasion so they could do a true whiteout... I think it was the first time F$U wore white at home. Mississippi State also did it yesterday, forcing LSU to wear their purple tops.
I imagine Mississippi State wore white just to spite LSU. I wonder if they'll do the same to us.
