Auburn football fans hate the idea of maroon uniforms

Auburn football fans have the NFL Draft to look forward to this week, with several Tigers eligible to be taken in one of the seven rounds taking place from April 28th-30th this month.

After that, it’s a long summer without any pigskin events in East Central Alabama. The USFL two hours north in Birmingham is the best outlet until the fall.

In the meantime, there are going to be more than a couple of dozen conversations that fit the ‘miscellaneous’ category of college football. On Tuesday, we got one of those in the form of uniform talk.

Of course, the Tigers do white on the road and blue at home, minus a few exceptions. But one Twitter user mocked up what Auburn football would look like wearing maroon, and, well, it didn’t go over well with the Auburn family:

Clearly, that particular shade should be saved for overall-wearing Midnight Yellers and those that like to beat cowbells like piñatas.

The Plains will respectfully pass.
