Alabama fans are not happy about The University of Alabama’s Student Government Association making a post telling the student section to wear a specific color at each game.

The University of Alabama’s Student Government Association and Panhellenic Association have released a “fan color schedule” for this season, which includes asking students to wear white against Georgia and black and white against Florida State. pic.twitter.com/ePesf2j8Oe

Fans are dragging Alabama’s SGA for this and voicing their opinions loud and clear on social media.

 

While not my sport, I feel it necessary to put out an official statement:

This is such an ill-advised and shortsighted idea brought about by ‘elected student officials’ who grew up going to Big 10, ACC, and SEC East football games. Right Field shall oppose this Tyranny. https://t.co/fl9mK3Rtc1

Alabama is a University with a proud game day tradition, why even try this? Chaos chose not to support this because we knew it would not go over well with the student body, and the immediate feedback is telling. #TraditionOverTrends https://t.co/7RoNvTqA5J

Many schools around the country do things like this, but the act of wearing a certain color for each game is definitely not one of the gameday traditions that Alabama football has. Alabama has traditions like “Dixieland Delight”, “Rammer Jammer”, the Walk of Champions, the Elephant Stomp and more. The student section being told to what to wear is not being taken well by the fanbase.
