AJC: Dawg helmets were almost white

The AJC's Junkyard Blawg has an interesting column up on the history of Georgia's uniforms. Particularly noteworthy: We almost ended up with white helmets, instead of red, under Dooley, and we auctioned off last year's black helmets for charity.

Athens Bureau Chief Brian Huff in the comments:

The auction must not have gone extremely well. The UGA Bookstore is currently selling "Game Worn Black Georgia Football Helmets" for $300 a pop.

Now, for the low price of $300, you too can remember the anger you felt when you saw the Dawgs take an ass beating of epic proportions while wearing stupid black pants and helmets.
