  "account": "Coach Kirby Smart announced during the 2026 Bulldogs preseason camp that the Georgia football team will wear all-white uniforms for one game this season. The occasion will be the Sept. 12, 12:45 p.m. home matchup against Western Kentucky. During the team meeting, safety KJ Bolden and tight end Lawson Luckie were chosen to be the first to wear the white jerseys, pants, and helmets with the black 'G' on the side. Smart announced the decision in a video posted on 'Glory Glory,' the team's NIL subscription site, following the spring game. He had previously mentioned to fans that a significant increase in subscriptions would result in the Bulldogs wearing the alternate uniforms. Smart addressed the players, emphasizing the importance of their dress and attire for games. He teased the fans by saying, \"April Fools! April Fools!\" but clarified that they would indeed wear the all-white uniforms against Western Kentucky. This is not the first time Georgia has donned white uniforms; they have also worn them for recruiting visits and against Mississippi State in the 2020 season and the Peach Bowl against Cincinnati. The all-white uniforms will make their debut against Western Kentucky next month.",
