Unfortunately, that was not a National Title game. ND and Michigan State had already played that one.1967 Sugar Bowl Alabama vs Nebraska. Bama in White and Nebraska in Red. Snake at QB.

1935 Rose Bowl.To the old and wise of TideFans.com, when was the last time Alabama wore white jerseys in a National Title game?
However, we did get one of those non-consensus National Titles in 19661935 Rose Bowl.
Alabama | 11–0 | Bear Bryant | B(QPRS), SR |
Michigan State | 9–0–1 | Duffy Daugherty | CFRA, HAF, NFF, PS |
Notre Dame | 9–0–1 | Ara Parseghian | AP, BR, DeS, DuS, FN, FWAA, HAF, L, MGR, NCF, NFF, PS, SR, UPI |
It's not. It's just down the street for me - about - per mapquest = 4 hrs 22 mins / 259.28 milesWhy must this game be so far away!?
Yes Tide is the visitor in this one so will wear white. Wonder why the rank did not come into effect in the SECCG?I believe that's correct. I think the higher ranked team wears home colors so Bama should be in white which is fine by me.
So that we can get 30 days of rest to heal our bumps and bruises and our coaches can prepare to shut down ND's vanilla offense. With a fully rested team, i'll take Bama to crush the Irish all day long. Patience, grasshopper. It will be worth the wait.......Why must this game be so far away!?
Because the SECCG rotates back and forth each year between east and west being the home team.Yes Tide is the visitor in this one so will wear white. Wonder why the rank did not come into effect in the SECCG?
I know what you mean, I have been waiting to play Notre Dame since November 1987. A quarter century long wait is almost over!!Why must this game be so far away!?
If they wore those, it would be an insult to their tradition and the BCSNCG especially since they are playing us.Just so long as Notre Dame does not wear that awful looking mess they wore in their game against Miami.
Seems likely to me. They will wear whatever color Adidas tells them to wear.ND is home team by virtue of top ranking. Would not surprise me if they warmed up in Navy and then came out in Green for the game.
The White Helmet's is to white overall imo. Let Penn State have that uniform, the red helmet makes us unique the the white does them.I like the white helmets, but the red helmets over white jersey is great also. I just want to be there!!
Its a minor issue but I prefer the crimson jerseys.:BigA:Since these are the two top uniforms, I am glad that we are going with the most minimal of the two, our white one's. We will look ever bit as good Notre Dame. As far as uniforms, we will both be wearing our best imo. The white with the crimson helmet and trim is timeless.
Last year we would have worn white except our good SEC West buddies LSU prefer to wear white in the big games.If the 1979 Sugar Bowl had been a BCS NCG then we would have been in white since we were ranked # 2 at the end of the 1978 regular season. But at the time, we were the SEC Champion and therefore the home team in the Sugar Bowl.
