2019 GT Official Color Debate (formerly Adidas Swag Watch 2019 **

[BuzzThePlumber]

I just feel they are getting by. These jerseys are literally plain gold jerseys with white numbers. The equivalent to color rush jerseys that the NFL went away from. There is no GT logo on them. No design just a plain gold jersey.

I think it looks clean, bold, and unique. As in, no one else is rocking that particular gold and white look.

Bold? Hmmm. They would really look bold if the numbers and other trim on the jerseys were outlined, even if it were in blue.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

Nope. They are Prime Knit, which is the premium adidas jersey. The design, in my opinion, has been stellar thus far on all our game jerseys. Different strokes, I reckon, eh?

Definitely different strokes. There is nothing "stellar" about them at all. IMO they are boring jerseys.

Notice how the numbers really pop out when they are outlined?

I agree that no one else is, but I just think it could be SOOOO much better.

It is kinda funny the 2 see the battle going on here. Majority of the gold lovers want to be unique but want to get rid of the one and only truly unique thing we have which is wearing white tops at home

Burn it with fire please. Those gold jerseys last night looked half finished.

 

[boger2337]

I want Gold, but I want it well thought out. I want it LOUD. I am looking for the Oregon type jerseys

 

[forensicbuzz]

I want the players to be pumped to wear the jersey with Georgia Tech written on it and helmets with the interlocking GT. All else is fluff.

I think what may have happened with the gold jerseys may have been somewhat of a rush order? Possibly CGC wanted to get some new gold ones a few months ago and adidas had to really find a solution quickly for the ask. I’m probably wrong but, just from the look of the jerseys, I’d be pretty disappointed in the company if that’s what they ultimately decided they would be after their “commitment to innovation” when they inked the deal with us.

These jerseys really don’t make sense if you think about it - no announcement from the school online which doesn’t really align with CGC’s marketing tactics. It’s all about making a statement... and I just don’t see that with these.

USF had a situation where they signed their adidas deal months before the football season started after switching from UA and had to settle with some generics in their 1st year. This was confirmed by their AD.

They have had a year to work out something proper and good looking, so there certainly should not have a "rush job." Remember all the ballyhoo from TStan this time last year about the "new gold." There's no way after deciding that far back what "new gold" is that they should not have been prepared immediately, but nooooo, they pushed all that blue crap on us instead.

 

[Ibeeballin]

Maybe i bought all the gold bc i have 4 gold shirts and gold b-ball jersey. You guys just want merchandise to be only white & gold

Not necessarily, but I won't buy anything blue.

Oh, yeah. I do remember that. Well, if their main focus was just the gold... mission accomplished, I guess?

A year late and, at least IMO, not a very good design.

If the neck collar was white I'd like it. Maybe love it. It just seems unfinished

 

[Vespidae]

I could see and read the numbers, but it was impossible to read the names. That's why a dark outline color would work better.

I like Notre Dame’s position on jersey names ... when playing on a team, there should be no names on the jersey.

I don't think we have always used them in the past, although there have definitely been times when we did.

Works well when you’re a powerhouse with lots of tradition but I think we need to be selling recruits that you’re playing for what’s on the front of the jersey to win national championships and you’re playing for your name to start building the foundations for a professional career.
