[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 547105, member: 435"] Yes, everyone recognizes the linked GT logo, buzz, and the Wreck, but, with few exceptions, those have all appeared with the colors Gold (or yellow) and White. And, as Cuse said in his post, black is associated with Buzz, or even the old form of the Yellow Jacket. The only reason people outside the southeast don't recognize the white and gold unis as Tech is because Tech has not been prominent on the national scene in so long. But in the 50s, I would guarantee you that the Tech White and Gold unis were among the most recognized unis in the country. Win enough to regain some level of prominence on the national scene, and that would happen again. It always strikes me as funny that some people reject the use of black because that's one of UGAg's colors, but Georgia wears red jerseys and WHITE pants regularly, and nobody in the cesspool objects that white is one of Tech's PRIMARY colors. I don't really want black jerseys or black pants (and certainly not all black unis), but black makes more sense than blue, which has nothing whatsoever to do with yellow jackets or Tech. We have a unique brand, so why not capitalize on it, with perhaps some minor deviations, instead of looking like a large group of other schools for whom blue is a primary color? Everything in Tech history and tradition screams White and Gold, NOT blue and anything. Those uniforms we wore in Detroit were, if not just plain ugly (my opinion), but drab and lifeless, and did not in the least say GEORGIA TECH. [/QUOTE]
