Auburn calls for orange out against Clemson
There’s going to be a lot of orange in the stands of Jordan-Hare Stadium on Sept. 3 when Auburn hosts Clemson.
The two schools already share Tigers as their mascot, and now AU appears to be embracing the fact that both teams wear orange.
Clemson fans have taken it as a sign that their team will feel at home in the season opener.

The image appears to have first been posted by Auburn fan site War Blogle, which posted an Aug. 4 blog with the image of the “pocket schedule”:
You may have noticed that what I call “pocket schedules” have been popping up around Auburn the last week or so. They are the true sign that football is getting real. It’s close.
Well, I picked one up at the Great Clips over the weekend and noticed that a few things have changed with Auburn’s clothing schedule. You see, for people that look for dumb less important things to blogle about, these schedules have been good for content. They usually tell us when the “All Auburn, All Orange” and “True Blue” games will be happening. This year, that has changed.
The portion of the image seen in the above tweet was cropped for Clemson site TigerNet, and that version of image has been circulated on Twitter following a recent post on Reddit.
Fans of Clemson and Auburn rivals are having fun on Twitter with the discovery of the orange out:
Never a good sign when your opponent likes the fact that you're doing an orange outhttps://t.co/4kjlK7az3J

Auburn chose the "Orange Out" vs Clemson to save the embarrassment of TV seeing mass influx of CU in attendance. https://t.co/cUrRET0Cfi

CU will probably wear their White-Away Kits. In other news, water is wet?
ANDREW OLSON, do some homework. Clemson has its colors because it copied Auburn … because their first football coach came from Auburn. Their first uniforms were old Auburn practice uniforms. Let’s face it. You’re lazy and just threw this one out there to fill your quota of inane posts. (See tigershark’s “In other news, water is wet?) Between Auburn & Clemson, Auburn owns orange. And after this year’s opening game, Auburn will still own Clemson regardless of the outcome. Auburn is 34-13-2 against Clemson.
The embracing line was not meant to contradict any of what you referenced. The news angle here was Clemson fans’ reaction/amusement. FWIW, I think the surprise to many outsiders is that Auburn wouldn’t try to promote contrast on Sept. 3. Florida fans, for instance, often make a point of wearing blue against Tennessee and orange against Kentucky.
The ball is in CU’s court. They only have 3 options (& Andrew, I wish you’d reiterate this):
1.) Does the CU fanbase wear the Auburn orange to reinforce our home crowd?
—–Or—–
2.) Does the CU fanbase wear purple to standout?
—-Or—–
3.) Does the CU fanbase wear white to support their away kits?
Either way I understand why USC, Garcia, & the OBC completely hate them. Clemson is the epitome of CFB plagiarism.
In reality, it won’t matter. There’s always either a blue or orange declaration for all Auburn games and only about half of the crowd has ever noticed. Coordinating an outfit for a football game has never been high on the priority list of most Auburn fans.
Jeez, you can tell the season is getting closer… people are getting vicious.
Many Clemson fans probably do not know the history of Clemson copying Auburn in everything (Mascot, Colors, Campus etc.)
Because that worked so well when Georgia called one against Alabama.
Way to be an ignorant DA.Auburn’s not wearing orange, just telling the fans to.
Might have something to do with the fact Auburn doesn’t have orange jerseys huh genius? IF they did/do you can bet your trailer park living ass they’ll break those suckers out on September 3rd!!! Yep… you’re an Awb alright!!!
UGA does a blackout once every few years.
Auburn does “All Orange” or “True Blue” several times per year.
Nothing special. Just will make a nice aerial photo.
Clemson needs to remember … you can feel welcome, but not at home. You may be the trendy thing but it will end and yall will remember why Clemson Football will always be Auburns lil cousin from up north. #WDE
i get the feeling that everybody has forgotten that jordan-hare can be a pretty hostile place to play. we havent had a night game in a year or two
