Blue. Pants.

Man, so many folks on here have stuff go right over their heads...

Yeah, I'm one. What does "lamp" mean in this context?

I never understand why GT fans whine about uniforms...its for the team, not for the fans.

GT is not a cool brand. These are baby steps to fix it. In a way, if you are 60+ and DO NOT like the look that is probably a good thing because that means 16 & 17 year old recruits DO like it in general terms. Just sayin

But, it's the fans & the 60 year olds that have the money! just saying..

Uniforms do not bring more fans, how many times has Alabama changed their uniforms? I am old but winning brings in more fans. Call me an old fuddy dud but I want players who want to win and less about how they look in uniforms.

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

We once did have a history like Bama, till Dodd pulled us out of the SEC, and everything went to hell. Dodd might have used blue jerseys on random occasions, but overall, it was WHITE AND GOLD, with BLACK trim, and EVERYBODY recognized us. Random changes in tradition aren't going to make us any more recognizable than we were then or are now.

I can't wait for the Hospital Green uniforms. The gold helmets will look really good on that shade of vomit. If adidas convinces CPJ to wear a similar shade green hat, we can expect in stores by Monday.

We look like we belong in the MAC. Just sad what our uniforms have come to this year. Last year, Russell finally got them right and now this. If the team likes them, great. But seriously? For Homecoming? Blue pants?? Our marketing departments for the AA and the school are absolutely the worst in all of major college athletics.

Well i guess im not sure what the point of the whole gold promotion was. Seems we are a white and blue team now.

Here's the funniest part of all this. Pitt is actually about to go back to their more traditional colors because one, they look better and two the fans hate their current look. Yet here we are trying to look like them. Only at GT

This is just effing ridiculous. Besides my dislike of any use of blue in our uniforms, the idea of wearing blue against a team whose primary color is blue (regardless of the shade difference) is just plain stupid. I don't care if the players like it or not; they would probably like green if it came down to it, simply because it's something different. You guys can call me an old fogie all you want, but blue pants are NOT GEORGIA TECH !!!

Bull S**T !!! It may be true that the Pilgrims didn't eat turkey, but it has become a TRADITION, just like GOLD AND WHITE.

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

My reaction will be the same as for any other dominant use of a secondary color....BULL S**T

Just to start a new argument who will start at QB next year nevermind we can argue this over the summer.

Call me when we are on the same plane as Bama, then we can talk

Oh, okay. I researched it. It was so funny, I forgot to laugh.

I will but I'm old and need to take a nap I plan to be up late tonight almost 9 pm

 

[SteamWhistle]

I’m really so thankful for this. My prayers have been answered.

And my nightmares have come to pass.

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.

 

[Vespidae]

A quick read of articles confirms ... kids want the "Look good. Play good." model. It's all about the social media, bling and swag. Just because the players like it doesn't mean I have to. Blue pants? Gross.

If fans and donors were to place a premium on uniform colors rather than performance, we would be a hopeless cause. But I don't think that is the case.

I look at more like this. Tech is a classic school. Generally conservative. So, uniforms should reflect a nod to tradition. Blue pants are not only not traditional, Holy Cow ... it's a accent color.

Once we went honeycomb helmets and ugly honeycomb jerseys, all that was sacred fell off the table.

Time to move forward and not get anchored to the past, even though the offense is (<<kidding...kinda...).

Play good like the last 2 games and you will look good.

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.
