The Clemson football team wore orange pants for last Saturday night’s road game at Wake Forest, and they were allowed to wear the britches because head coach Dabo Swinney wants them worn in championship games.
When was the first time the Tigers wore the orange pants on the road? It was in 1989 for the South Carolina game at Williams-Brice Stadium, and it came as a shock and a surprise to the members of the Clemson football team.
The Tigers had just returned to their locker room from pregame warm-ups as they prepared to play the Gamecocks at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia that night.
