The demeaning comments like calling our recent uniforms "bubble wrap" because you don't like them over and over start to get old. I'm all for tradition. I love Penn State's uniforms, but we don't have a uniform tradition at Tech. Each era has had very different looks. Many of the older set talk about Dodd's uniforms, but his uniforms changed too. I actually like the hexagonal pattern on the uniforms. I think it's fresh and innovative. And from what I've heard, the current players and recruits actually like them too. As a metallurgical engineer, the pattern reminds me of a lattice structure, which brings me right back to my Tech days. You may think that's nerdy, but for me, it serves it's purpose [building a visual connection between the team and the school in the fan's mind]. I have no problem with you guys that pine for the throw-backs, but to constantly listen to you all ridicule what we have worn recently saying we look ridiculous should be tempered. I know I can ignore the thread, but I want to contribute my opinion too. I like the "honeycomb" and wouldn't mind seeing it stay. I tend to be even more traditional when it comes to helmets, but I really like the hex pattern on the helmet. To me it doesn't look cheesy or cheap. It looks innovative.</blockquote>
