Blue. Pants.

You mean what if Georgia Tech came out in red and black? Of course I'd cheer for Georgia Tech. That's the point. I don't care what they wear as long as they win!

Lol nah

You guys that hate blue and say it defies tradition are crazy. The article below is from 1891...blue was a school color before we every played a single snap of football.

Lol. If 1891 is the new standard for tradition, we should get rid of the Rambling Reck since it’s a 1961 addition. And maybe the term, Yellow Jackets, too.

Navy is not a primary color for GT ... today.

So what you're saying is the traditions evolve over time??!?!?!!

Also FIFY

So, your argument is that GT can't introduce the regular use of Navy Blue in pants and jerseys because GT has a history of introducing new traditions?

No, it was a CLASS color, each class having its own colors. It was NOT the SCHOOL color.

I wish we had the guts and leadership to truly design unis using only OLD GOLD & White ( in a way similar to how Texas uses BURNT Orange & white).

Then we’d have people complain that we looked like Notre Dame

How would we look like ND? Their colors aren't white and gold.

Lol at people still arguing over this

Here's more Georgia Tech navy blue and white. Here's the 1940 Orange Bowl against Missouri

Lordy, and Mizzou in actual old gold. Lol

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

??????????????

How often do they wear white and gold? I would say they are copying Tech. Plus, we don't wear metallic gold helmets.

Regardless of the blue and white, which actually looks black and white on my screen. That video show why gold and gold is UGLY !!!!

I live in SC, so Clemson and South Carolina are my best comparisons. Clemson primarily wears orange and white, but purple is their accent color. They wear purple pants and jerseys periodically. Believe it or not, their fan base overcomes all odds and still comes to the games. South Carolina wears something different every week and occasionally break out some camo. How about Tech wearing camo jerseys for military appreciation day. Would that be OK?

Honestly, I don't know why anyone cares. It literally has no impact on my enjoyment of the game. Zero.

I didn’t say anything about blue pants. If you read what I actually said, it was that you can’t cite an earlier “standard” when it’s not the present standard of the school. It’s a fact that navy blue is not a primary color for GT. It’s a secondary.

Regardless, blue pants are hideous. Others think they are beautiful. Everyone has their opinion.

Not yet. Not with that attitude anyways.

Actually, I have often thought that metallic gold helmets might look good. But in no way whatsoever do I want to see the Jackets come on the field wearing effing blue helmets.

Heresy. Metallic gold isn’t “Tech gold”. Why do some people want us to look like damn Norte Dame?

ND helmets have actual flakes of gold in the paint (which is a legit tradition onto itself).

I like the classic Americana of tech gold. That said the players have been quoted multiple times as saying their amped to rock the navy gear.

I’m 33 years old and well beyond my college days. If that’s what gets the kids pumped then I’m all for it. I’m a Tech Man, through and through, and will wear my gold, white and navy gear proudly.

Ps we are 3-0 when I have the navy adidas shorts with the navy CPJ zip up special so will be wearing that again tomorrow.

Go jackets! Give em hell!!
