The University of Georgia might want to rethink its uniform after A.J. Brown’s latest revelation.
The Philadelphia Eagles superstar revealed on the “Pardon My Take” podcast that he didn’t commit to the Bulldogs because of one deal-breaker: black socks. Yes, you read that right — black socks.
“I didn’t choose Georgia because I don’t like wearing black socks. And that maybe crazy but I hate wearing black socks,” Brown said, adding, “Putting on black socks with black cleats, it’s so hideous.”

While some might roll their eyes, an athlete’s fit matters. Players want to look good on the field — otherwise it becomes an unnecessary distraction.
Brown chose Ole Miss instead, where he posted 2,984 receiving yards on 189 catches with 19 touchdowns over three seasons, all while sporting white socks.
“Because when I put on white, I feel so fast, so smooth. There’s something about it,” said Brown.
His white-sock preference has served him well in the NFL, where he’s earned four second-team All-Pro selections with Tennessee and Philadelphia. He also captured his first Super Bowl championship with the Eagles last season.
