The Bulldogs could be donning the black in 2018.
Georgia has not worn its black jerseys since its Nov. 19, 2016, game against UL Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns but recently teased, via the program’s official equipment staff Twitter account, that the jerseys are ready to be worn if need be in 2018.
Here is an image of Georgia’s jerseys on display in the equipment room:

Judging by the responses from UGA fans to the tweet, a good portion of the fanbase wishes to see the alternate look on the field more often in the future:
Too bad we have the best alternate (black jersey) in all of college football and we never wear it. Also, get some red britches to go with the white tops for once a season or so. pic.twitter.com/9cFnWmtQpR

If Georgia does decide to wear the black jerseys, which game should be chosen as the game to break them out? The Bulldogs are set to host Austin Peay, MTSU, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Auburn, UMass, and Georgia Tech next season.
