Not really a valid comparison. You have a MUCH, MUCH larger overall fan base there (one of top 2 most valuable football teams). The numbers of items sold overall will be much greater. It’s simply a numbers game for an apparel maker. You cannot uncouple the fact that GT is a very low selling...

Lol. No, we aren’t. But at least I’m speaking from the standpoint of actually talking with apparel makers, and from the point of view of retailing GT merch. Gold apparel isn’t made in high quantities for a reason.

I get it. But a lot of it can be like anything else...the (relatively) few fans that want gold and don’t have it will typically be the most vocal/requesting it. Like anything else when you ask customers “what do you want?” The one’s getting it don’t usually say a lot, whereas the ones that...

You TRULY believe that a company that specializes in SELLING apparel is going to make a team’s apparel in colors they (the fans) don’t like or prefer? So you think that adidas is making lots of navy (surprise, most companies making GT stuff make the majority in navy), despite the majority of the...

Okie dokie. Again, I’ve talked to reps about it, but what do I or they know, right? But in the end, what matters is that if we want more gold apparel, it will have to be worth their time to make it. And the only way that happens is that the sales numbers of gold apparel rise.

Again, I get it. The survey was for the die hard GT fans/donors/supporters. Of course we will prefer white and gold, we are the ones that go to the games and know the history, traditions, etc. But the sidewalk fan doesn’t, and they don’t want to wear gold. Numbers don’t lie. If gold sold well...

Oh I love gold too. Buy it all when I can find it, and even make my own when I can’t find what I want. But the reality is gold doesn’t sell well. Navy does. Adidas.com and what they stock for GT (when they even stock stuff for us) basically shows this.

I can tell you from being in the apparel business, that gold anything is produced in much lower quantities than navy and/or white. And bookstore employees, along with Adidas reps have said things to validate this. Heck, Adidas.com under Georgia Tech is almost exclusively navy. With even a...

Nevermind. Found it. It’s actually right there on ramblinwreck.com.

I definitely saw this, but can’t remember where.

And this. https://www.mlsstore.com/atlanta-united-fc/atlanta-united-fc-white-minted-in-atlanta-scarf/t-70340196+p-588562858+z-5-1038455936?_ref=p-TLP:m-TS:i-r0c0:po-0

This is cool too. https://www.mlsstore.com/atlanta-united-fc/mens-atlanta-united-fc-mitchell-and-ness-white-jersey-hook-pullover-hoodie/t-14676752+p-8196426788645+z-9-2242058546?_ref=p-TLP:m-TS:i-r0c1:po-1

Was about to post this.

That’s definitely not the norm with this line (GameMode). Heck, just attend a game (football or basketball) and see all the middle aged men that are wearing these hoodies. It’s clear they bought their “normal size”, as most, if not all, look like a kid wearing his dad’s hoodie. Definitely not...

Fits true to size? For who? This is a GameMode series hoodie. Pretty much everyone who has mentioned purchasing one of those hoodies (the gold, gray or navy blue) have had to go down at least one size. I’m an XL in most all US-based apparel companies (47 inch chest), and I bought the LARGE in...

Yeah, I forgot about how thin it is/was. And yes, Adidas IS a frustrating company. Ridiculously so.

Won’t this thing sell out in minutes, not hours?

Hey...the more we buy in white and gold, the more we influence apparel makers to make more in those colors, and less in navy! And I try to wear something GT every day in some way, so the more, the better! [emoji12]

Yep...I’ll have a couple of pairs of those as soon as they launch.

Could be. That happened with a shipment of gold GameMode polos the bookstore got not too long ago (couple of months). I grabbed a large when the clerk pointed me to them and tried it on. My arm wouldn’t fit in the sleeve, and normally thats my gamemode polo size. Then I looked closely...there...
