Back in August, the Clemson Tigers announced they’d be wearing purple this week for Military Appreciation Day. We wondered if the Syracuse Orange would take that as an opportunity to finally wear some orange against Clemson.
They would not, it ends up.
Syracuse will wear altered blue helmets, white jerseys and blue pants this afternoon — the first time the blue/white/blue combination will be put into use. It’s been an annual sticking point here that the Orange fail to wear much, if any orange against the other ACC team that lays a very serious claim to the color (there are others that utilize of course).
