New Georgia Tech uniforms

I guess like most of us I am biased toward uniforms similar to what I remember from my youth. In my mind, Tech will always wear the uniforms they wore in the late '70s: gold pants and helmets with white jerseys, whether home or away.

I did not like the black jerseys that the team wore occasionally during the Bill Curry years. I did not like the gold jerseys and white pants Tech was wearing when it won its last national championship.

I like that the current uniforms feature white jerseys at home. I'm not thrilled with the color (it looks like vegas gold, not old gold), but at least it's not a metallic gold.

A big improvement this year is that the weird pointed stripes from 2008 are gone. I hope, but I am not optimistic, that the white road pants are gone.

I wouldn't mind seeing a navy jersey for specially occasions, maybe once a year, but I'll settle for white jerseys home and away.

As long as Tech gets the uniforms as part of a marketing deal we'll be stuck with whatever they give us, and I can live with that (as long as they don't go Oregon on us).

I think the white road pants are here to stay

… and we will probably be wearing them for Thursday. Oh baby let us have white helmets somewhere too….

Uni's!

I don’t know how I feel about the white pants. I like ‘em for the white out but that’s about it. My favorite uniform was the Throwback uniforms, which seems like what you were talking about Craig. I do miss the days when we kept the same style of uniform every year.

The college football season is so fragile. It's like a glass ball being pushed around from stadium to stadium by a rhinoceros.
