Home should be Purple jersey, white pant, white helmet.
Away should be white jersey, white pant, white helmet.

This is my hill upon which I shall stand.

I stand with you. Our traditional uniforms are fine.

In honor of Ernest Gibson, who shouted "purple pants, purple pants" in the locker room before home games -
Just do it at least one time for him.
Go all purple at a home one day and invite him back to see it.
He did his share of putting Furman football on the map.
I don't think the all purple uniform has ever been worn. Not a bad idea and have a "Purple Out" for a home game

You probably end up with an approximation of this if the helmet is purple:

I will admit... I could be ok with White Helmet, Purple Jersey, Purple pant, and black shoe. That is a clean strong look.

Last time I remember seeing Furman in Purple Pants was 1992 at Marshall. We lost 48-6 and that put a rather bad taste in my mouth regarding Purple Britches.

About Us

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage

GoPaladins.com is not affiliated with Furman University or its athletics programs.
