    The Official 2020 Color Debate Thread

    I will say that it is a bit odd that it is said to “wear gold” to games (football at least), and yet almost every giveaway is non-gold. There may be some disconnect there. But consistently student giveaways seem to be blue the majority of the time. I’d say that if they didn’t want it, at some...

    But do we know that it’s being “undermined?” Is there also not a possibility that the student giveaways are being driven what students are actually asking for? I know it could be what if’s either way, if the students are ok with it and aren’t complaining in any way, is there reason to change...

    I keep forgetting to post these, but this pair of shoes is pretty nice. And if you have any Nike GT gold gear, these match that exactly. “Team Gold” is the main shade that Nike uses for us.

    Clearly, it’s not true. Those young people I see almost every week walking around campus in all the navy gear, hats, sweatshirts, hoodies are figments of someone’s imagination. Along with all the students when I was in school in the late 90s that made a big deal (positive reaction) and got...

    Very true about our golds. I can wear it with a white GT hat as stated above, or a blue. Hell, Adidas can’t even match our golds on the same hat! (Hat I’m wearing today, look at the GT gold vs the gold on the bill...next to khaki pants for comparison)

    Most student giveaways are navy based. But you really don’t seem to believe me that most of the students on campus wear navy, IF they are wearing Tech gear at all.

    I do like that too. Have always felt our current gold needs to be darker. It’s too much like khaki. I may get that hoodie. But nothing else GT gold will match it.

    Yep. Fully understand. That’s why Collins was brought in I believe. The success and rebuilding of GT sports depends probably as much on marketing and making it “cool” again as it does on field performance.

    It’s available, but (rightfully so) the approach Adidas seems to be taking is the logical one. At least from my perspective of being very familiar with it. The largest variety in Adidas gold GT gear seems to be going to our own bookstore. And that would logically be where you’d want it as a...

    Just out of curiosity, how much apparel do you buy a year, and where are you buying it? Because as we’ve seen, gold is available. At least as much as other gold schools. And how this works is...Adidas will only make it IF the retail accounts(Dicks SG, Barnes and Noble, fanatics, etc) are asking...

    2020 Adidas Swag Thread

    I’ve been really wanting the top pair. Of course they would be women’s. Dammit. And if they only went to a size 12, I could make them work, as Adidas 12 would be a men’s 11 by their conversion.

    The Official 2020 Color Debate Thread

    I think the point that some of us are trying to convey is that gold is never going to be made in large quantities or even to the same level as other colors, whether it be for us, FSU, ND, the Saints, 49ers, or any other team with gold as a primary color. Apparel companies are simply not going to...

    They do. And I buy them every time I see them if they are new/like new. Lol. I keep a stash of them. Had up to 15 or so at one time (bought 2 sleeves of 6 each, incorrectly stated these were 12 each sleeve before). Gave/give a bunch away. I keep 3-5 or so on hand still though. When I find...

    The Nike is my second favorite. Even though the in the photo the balance is all off. Probably due to so many things being close to the same shade (carpet, all the “golds”), the Under Armour looks pink, but in real life it’s the closest to what I think our gold should look like. Even with a bit...
