Georgia Tech Uniforms

I still check in each day to see if you got new content. I’m ready for our match up this year.

The old school throwback’s are my ultimate favorite. I’m not overly opposed to any of the newer designs, but I don’t like any of the bright yellow colors. Stick with white and “Old Gold” or just plain gold. If you are going to go anything mustard, then leave out that mass production French’s color and go with something more whole grain mustard.

I too like the gold uniform of the Bud Carson era.

My choice would be to use that entire uniform package as one option, use the white jersey gold pants option of the Pepper Rogers era and the blue jersey combination of the Bobby Ross era. In my opinion those are the 3 best uniform combinations of all time.

I dig the idea of the matte white hats, etc. you described. Also agree with everybody talking ditching Russell and going with Under Armor/Nike etc. Russell is an embarassment.

Last year Jacob and I were talking unis, and he’s like “Russell’s version of ‘Pro Combat’ will be some Boy Scout gear for us. We’ll sport a handkerchief.”

As I recall, we get 4 million bucks (one time or annually I don’t know) for being their “performance research institute” (same kind of operation Nike has at Oregon, UConn, and others.) I guess it was profitable for our Athletic Dept and so that’s what we did. They do get us new football uni’s every year, though. I agree that they should try a Pro-Combat-style uniform for a big game, but I’m not sure they have an up-market brand segment yet.

Ok, so also I wouldn’t be upset if one day Radakovich said “that’s it, we’re a Nike/Adidas/Under Armour team now.” I’d assume Nike’s the most expensive. Might even be a recruiting boost?

As gentlemen we will all overlook your admission of ignorance in the realm of men’s fashion as it relates to the time-honored contest of the gridiron. A brief lesson from one Jacket to another, if I may: Pro Combat, good sirrah, is the top tier niche brand of performance sporting apparel masterfully sewn by the fine young oriental house ladies diligently working in the perfectly fair and safe jungle communes owned by Nike, Inc. Several of the most popular intercollegiate footballers teams don them from time to time – usually on occasions of particular import. For instance, the proud student athletes of Boise State University wore special uniforms designed by Nike Pro Combat to face the studious young men of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University at the outset of last season – a team also outfitted in blakc and orange Nike Pro Combat uniforms. UF, tOSU, Miami (FL), UWV, and many other teams have worn these multicolored threaded wonderments onto the field of play for two seasons now. My lesson is concluded and I bid you a hearty “Go Jackets” good sir!

No black. White is our black. Old Gold is our red. Navy is….also there. This is the way of things on Grant Field.

I like the idea, but it’ll probably never happen; my understanding is some of the big money boosters are EXTREMELY anti-black (they don’t even like the navy tops, but can take it once/year). But who knows if that hearsay is accurate.

When I was in school, the baseball team had jerseys with black instead of navy (I think), and I know the club hockey team did, and they all looked solid. Was it a little Wake/Vandy-ish? Maybe, but it looked good.

Bottom line to me is, get stuff that the kids like. Have Russell come in, and let the seniors/captains get some input. They know what looks fresh, but have been at GT long enough to understand what’s “sacred.”
