I know this doesn't really apply to us, as we'd rather wear white, but the ACC will no longer stand in the way of color-on-color football jersey action. The uninformed part of the article (let's face it, anything relating to Clemson is probably uninformed in one way or another) is that it assumes Tech would rather play in the yellow top. Yellow tops vs Clemson Orange wouldn't look bad, but our gold tops contrasted against Clemson's hideous purple bastards would make my TV grow tear ducts for the sole purpose of weeping. There's some other minor football related rule changes in the article as well, but I'm a full-on fabulous fashionista, so this is the most important development to me.
 
Finally, it is no longer an illegal formation to have less than seven players on the line. As long as there are five players with jersey numbers 50-70 (offensive linemen), it's acceptable.

I am confused. So how do they determine who is an eligible receiver? What if six players are on the line? Is one end eligible but the other is not?
 
Color-on-color football is hot. That USC-UCLA game last year was awesome.

Agreed, it's something I've always been in favor of.

It won't apply to the Clemson game, that's our whiteout.

I'd love to see us go Gold vs. Red against the mutts.
 
Someone post the picture of the Clemson kicker with the long hair & the old alumni football player taken during spring game festivities under Swinney ....

I'm thinking that we'll be able to take advantage of this more than just about anyone.

There was something posted on this a while back that this is basically a symbolic change or something and nothing on-field will actually be affected.
 
This does not affect a thing because you are still not allowed to have more than 4 players off the line...in the backfield.

They just changed the wording and focus of the rule.

Now...if an offense takes the field with 10 players and puts no more than 4 in the backfield..they can run the play.
 
On a side note, as an out-of-conference game, would ACC rules matter if we played UGA color-on-color? If it's an SEC officiating crew, do we follow SEC rules (Lord knows they don't) and only play gold vs. red if it's allowed by them?

It's a NCAA rule, not an ACC rule. We could wear gold in Athens if UGA agreed in writing before the season.
