Phrases on jerseys went against Swinney’s routine, will not see them again

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney got an interesting call from a fan on his Tiger Calls radio show Monday night on the Clemson Tigers Sports Network.

On the first question of the night, a Gaffney woman, named Becky, asked Swinney if the Tigers planned to keep the messages “Equality,” “Justice,” “Love,” “Matter” and “Together” on the back of their jerseys when they host No. 7 Miami this week at Death Valley. A lot of the players wore the special messages where their name would normally go during the Tigers’ win over Virginia this past Saturday.

A self-proclaimed superstitious person, the caller admitted she was not a fan of the messages because, in her opinion, they messed up the Tigers’ mojo.
