Blue. Pants.

Would everyone be ok with all of these variations if the school just came out and made navy an “official color” from now on?

I’ll reserve judgement until I see them on the field.

When do we paint the Wreck navy?

A Navy Wreck would be the ultimate troll

True, because it is pretty well established that there is a high likelihood that the Pilgrims did not eat turkey that first Thanksgiving.

When I was at Tech, none of the sports teams wore any blue. I was told that in the 60's the basketball team had a uniform with lots of blue--which people objected to.

Sometime in the 80's someone decided that since black was a UGa color, that Tech should use blue rather than black as an accent color, although black continued to be used. Therefore, when the NCAA required home football teams to wear dark jerseys and we didn't have an exception, Ross' teams wore blue jerseys at home. Earlier in the 80's under Curry our dark jersey was black.

We went to Blue as the main trim color under Fulcher in 72.

We got really involved with Blue when Cremins had so much success.

The Black came back in with his pompousness highness curry.

Much more success with Blue under Cremins & Ross than with Black under curry.

Man I’ve been waiting all year for this and y’all haven’t disappointed.

Now I just can’t wait for the encore when we wear white hats, navy jersey, and white pants

Encore to the Sun Bowl?

Sorry old heads, but I speak for the youth and we love these. We aren’t Penn St. or Bama. I don’t get the whining like we are breaking some 80 year uniform tradition.

Who said you speak for the "yuts"?

I'd like to see yellow and black horizontal stripes on pants and shirt with two yellowjacket eyes in front of the helmet and antennae on the side - in fact the whole helmet would look just like a yellowjacket's head- the whole uni as close to anatomically correct as possible to an actual yellowjacket. Just once, maybe against Alcorn State or somebody.

For the record, I'm not so much in opposition to the blue as wondering why we bust it out against the Blue Devils, of all people. But it's okay, I've learned not to care, really. Just win.

Wonder if Puke will wear their triple blue unis?

Ok I’m an Oregon fan !!!!!!

This attitude toward change is why there is a general sense of apathy that surrounds the program. We are so obsessed with the tradition of our colors. We historically have not been Notre Dame or Oklahoma and our unis have always been in flux for our entire history.

Take a deep breath and realize we need to make GT football fun & exciting...not to fit what color shirts the jackets wore decades before the birth of current SAs. Holding up tradition as some sacrosanct thing only works if you have a history like Bama. As much as it pains me to say this GT doesn't even live in the same zip code as them

Notre Dame has worn some weird (to me) color combinations. I think we’re more locked to tradition than they are.

Not to take sides or anything, but I keep hearing this same thing, that the kids love the new uniforms. Do they really? And what is so youthfully inspiring about them? They seem kind of blasé to me, just old washed out colors. I don't get the youthful appeal. Young people are into dull colors? When I was young, I liked colors that popped. Still do.

Disclaimer - I've programmed myself not to care. I'm just saying, that's all...

Anything special/improved about them? I mean, do they grip the turf better?

I think you are correct. Way, way back in late 40s? Before he went with mainly W & G.

Saw us play auburn at legion field and they chose white shirts. We wore the most awful piss yellow shirts with our traditional Gold hats you ever saw.

No, just a different color/ team exclusive

Those would look great with the shiny gold pants I posted a while back!
