JL
Hello sports fans, and welcome
to another summer of school, tests,
and Gamecock sports. What's that
you say? There are no sports going
on at The USC? Well,...that's absolutely
correct. But don't fear, be
cause there are plenty oT things to
keep up with in Gamecock Athletics,
many of which will be focused
on in this weekly column.
Which brings me to the first order
of business, those much talked
about and highly controversial
football uniforms. If you have
been reading The State newspaper
on Sundays, then you probably
have been reading the letters from
readers who feel the football uniforms
are not up to par. That they
are too simplistic and very far off
from the "classy and modern"
looking uniforms of the Joe Morrison
era. Do these people have nothing
better to do? And besides,
those uniforms aren't so bad.
Consider this. The top college
footbal programs in recent years
have not had snazy attire. Notre
Dame- very plain; Michigan

State. Now if the Nitany Lions
were in Columbia, there would be
no end to this controversy.
In talking to the Sports Information
Director at Penn State, Budd
Thalman, he said the uniforms at
Penn State have been in existance
since Joe Paterno has been head
coach in 1966. Now many have
criticized the new Gamecock uniforms
as a high class version of
* Penn State's, down to the black
shoes. But at Penn State the players
take pride in what they wear,
even down to their shoes.
"Bob White was a defensive end
for us in 1986, and he played in
one of those post-season bowl
games, where the players usually
trade gear," Thalman said, "hvery
one wanted Bob's black shoes."

Pep Talk
"I think our players take pride in
the uniform. When you turn on the
t.v. you know who is playing. People
(around the college) like the
uniform and it's typical of our approach
to the game. We may come
in a plain wrapper, but we are anything
but plain." |
Perhaps that is what head coach
" 1 tn inctill

into the program...a program which
has lacked stability. With one set
uniform, players will start to take
pride not only in the uniform but
in their play, which will respond
with victories and bowl games. It
has happened to Notre Dame, to
Michigan, and to Penn State. All
of them have one uniform and
many championships. Here at
South Carolina we have had many
uniforms and no championships.
All that could be changing.
Above all, it's what the squad
does on the field that matters, and
not what their wearing. Teamwork
wins games, not uniforms. I wonder
what would have happened if
last season's Gamecocks had gone
9-3 with a bowl win. Perhaps the
new uniforms would have been put
into the Carolina Hall of Fame.
But until that time comes, here's a
vote of confidence for the uniforms.
They look sharp, are consistent
and basic, just what everyone
wants from a football team. Perhaps
coach Paterno said it best
when he commented on his teams
uniform:
"I don't think the uniforms look
that bad, but I've always liked
r them. It says something about
- team oriented play and an austier
approach to life."
