With 14 SEC titles, 15 trips to Omaha and 6 National Championships, this is a common sight for Tiger fans.

After dropping the rubber match of a three game series against Mississippi State in heartbreaking fashion last Sunday, Georgia is getting some much deserved time off.

Baseball movies have taught me one thing: no matter how you play, its important you look good. In fact, there may not be a more finicky group of dressers than baseball players.

The sheer number of options should illustrate that baseball players all have their own unique look. What about our own local nine? Georgia’s play on the diamond has left a lot to be desired this year, but at least the look good… right? Err. Not so much.

After the break, let’s take a look at some of the duds the Dawgs have donned so far this season. (more…)
