It's obviously a long time since the 60s, but during Dodd's days at Tech, our uniforms were indeed one of the most recognizable and appreciated uniforms in the country. Not winning consistently draws the attention elsewhere And it's not winning that has caused people to forget the status we once had or not even know about us at all now. I'm not sure why anyone even today, however, would confuse us with ND. I don't know how often ND wears white jerseys and gold pants, but the image of ND football is certainly not that. Even when they wear white and gold, there is plenty of green on the uniforms (numerals, half-sleeve "undershirts", stripes, etc), but their number one uniform is consistently blue jerseys with gold pants. Although at least once last year they wore "Knute Rockne memorial uniforms" which were white and gold with blue numerals, that was apparently a special uniform. They also sometimes wear all white, all green, green and gold, maybe even green and blue. When we resort to adding blue to our uniforms, it seems to me that we are saying we are not unique and that we are happy with looking like ND or Pitt, or countless other schools for whom blue is a PRIMARY color. Win or lose, I want us to be unique and recognizable to those who do know about us and think the image is important. When I say that I don't care what the players have to say about it, I am saying that the players should be more concerned with coming together as a unit and demonstrating that on the field, which IMO they sure didn't do yesterday, nor for many games over the past two years. If that offends anyone on here, or any players, for that matter, then so be it; that's your or their prerogative, just as it is mine to say what I think. If the team played consistently from week to week and year to year and won games that they are fully capable of winning, then I might care what they had to say about uniforms. Until then, sorry, but I don't.
