[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 547095, member: 274"] I'm fairly confident if we took a poll of fans 2 degrees apart from us or more, they would not guess gold and white as Georgia Tech colors. First, most believe yellow is one of our colors because, well... Second, I believe blue or black would be the most popular second color guess, and it has nothing to do with the color of the jerseys we wear. From my brother-in-law, a Hokie, on my birthday.... "good luck to the gold and black". That wasn't sarcasm, he's a Hokie grad and casual fan of college sports in general. My real brother (Syracuse fan) guessed yellow and blue when I asked him recently. Many other college fans I talk to recognize Buzz as the GT symbol before all else. Buzz is yellow and black. Not gold and white. Similarly, few outside of Tech and the most hardcore in ACC/southeast circles know that we wear white jerseys home and away. I didn't know that prior to going to Tech, despite being a HUGE college sports fan, nor do I think I cared enough about jersey color while at Tech to have noticed. Just sharing another perspective. I'm not passionate about this subject at all, and I join more for the popcorn comedy. [/QUOTE]
