Question

Why does Georgia wear silver britches?

Answer

The pants were the innovation of Coach Wally Butts in 1939. Through the years fans refer to the pants in their chants. In the early fifties, the cheer "Go, you silver britches" came about. Vince Dooley redesigned the uniform in 1964 and made the pants white. He reinstated the silver pants in 1980 which turned out to be the championship season.
