The University of South Carolina’s football program finally realized throwback uniforms not only exist, but are something it’s allowed to wear, as the Gamecocks unveiled their homage to the 1984 Black Magic squad on Tuesday.
The ‘84 Gamecocks, with their famed “Fire Ants” defense, remain among the most successful squads in school history, winning 10 games and toppling foes the likes of Georgia, Notre Dame, and of course Clemson. They closed the season with a No. 11 ranking, although the less said about the Navy game and the Gator Bowl, the better.
I, for one, am absolutely thrilled.
