I actually have zero issues with Buzz as a mascot. Love him actually. More so than an old car. Yellow jackets are super aggressive creatures. But even since a young age, I’ve been a little bothered by the slight disconnect of gold and white on the field, and a mascot in a suit (and is also...

I’ve actually thought a lot of these same thoughts. I guess “gold” seems classier maybe?, but do think we would create more uniformity if our color actually was yellow. It would tie in more with Buzz, because I’ve had countless friends/acquaintances/customers (all non-Tech people) ask “why...

This is this year’s basketball jersey, just released a few weeks ago. I’d say it’s the most up to date Adidas thing we have, as it’s literally the most recent thing of ours they’ve made.

That’s why we wore white hats when we wore the sand jerseys earlier this year. The metallic helmets right next to the sand, non metallic jerseys is not a match at all. Here is our actual sand/gold basketball jersey (should be the same material and color as our gold football jerseys) next to a...

Oh I agree. LSU does pop, but it’s a much more vibrant yellow/base color than we use. I think our matching issue is like I said, the fact that we are trying to match a metallic gold. The paint on the helmets is metallic/contains flake, and so does the vinyl decals. Unless you use a cloth...

Just to play devil’s advocate for a minute though, one issue that is always present when using gold as a color, is if we did make our jerseys more metallic like the Calvin version pictured above is that you’d probably still have a metallic and non-metallic variant. If our current jerseys were...

Yeah. My biggest issue with our cloth “gold” is that it’s not metallic/no sheen. Gold is a metal. Gold has a sheen. It’s why our helmet decals or helmet paint looks correct, but the cloth doesn’t. If you sand blasted our helmets (or an actual gold bar) and took the sheen off, you end up...

I think if our current sand jerseys had a sheen/metallic finish to them, it would at least be acceptable. We actually have two “Tech golds”. One metallic, one not. Take one of our white jerseys with gold numbers and look at the gold used in the numbers. It has a sheen to it and looks much...

Do we have mustard gold now though? It’s sand/khaki. I’d say we’ve had mustard gold at times before Adidas, but not now.

Could it be the other way around? The gear (apparel, etc) that has sold in the highest numbers for...as long as I can remember (I’m 41, been a Tech fan since 5-6 years old, then attended Tech) has been navy. This goes back to my junior high/high schools days at least. In several of these...

You’d get a kick out of the free Adidas shirts handed out at the GT basketball game last night. Solid navy with white logos/printing. Not a lick of gold. Also, did anyone look at the team graphic for Graham’s ACC Team of the Week award? It’s navy and white.... Navy is a main color for us...

Wish I could like this more than once. Some of the same things I was yelling (by late 2nd half) last night at the game. Our offense...doesn’t do anything.

I think it’s the concept of just gold and white that people like, myself included. But I do agree, and have said, that our/Adidas’ version of “gold” leaves a lot to be desired.

I think the answer to the question/discussion is that, if we could do it and thought no one would complain enough for it to be “illegal”, we would have done it during our existence. I actually would love it, but our “gold” doesn’t work for it. I think it would have to be one of the older...

It’s not really “my interpretation”. It’s clearly been stated on these forums that those jerseys were very hard to read for many viewers during the spring game. If this was said then, by our own fans, you can be certain that the TV crews televising the game, the officiating crew, or even the...
