Blue. Pants.

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

Didn’t We have a blue jersey under Dodd?

Randomly, but probably no more than 5 times while he was coach. Most notably though was when he filled in for Alexander in 1942 in Athens, and we got our butts beat wearing blue. That should have ended it then.

Here are the blue helmets,jerseys and white pants of the 1946 GT football team on this film of the 1946 GT-UGAG game

And we got our butts beat that year too.

we get our butts beat a lot. If we retired jerseys after bad losses we'd have to play naked.

We would never have to worry about getting tackled .you may be on to something

But since wearing blue was very rare back then, you'd think Dodd would've learned

I assume most of the constant complainers about everything Georgia Tech does have never attended any other school sports. If you had, you'd realize that GT sports other than Football have been wearing blue probably more than 1/2 the time. As long as the uniforms gave the interlocking GT on them and are Georgia Tech SA's, you should be loud and proud.

Why did Oregon following grow?

Don't go ruining a good narrative with facts...

Gold1 and I are not even close to the same age, and yet he and I agree. It's not an age thing; it's a tradition thing, and blue pants is NOT our tradition, nor should it be.

To be fair, no one on these boards is close to the same age as you...

 

[Augusta_Jacket]

Cant wait to wear these.... @Supersizethatorder-mutt

The Oregon uniforms that looked like the Packers and had Donald Duck on the helmets were better

What color combo will the Dookies wear? If our selection of blue pants throws them off their preferred uniform, maybe it’s just a mojo thing.

Blue helmets,white jerseys and blue pants most likely

I am fully aware that the the other teams have been wearing blue, baseball probably more so than any, and I don't like any of those uniforms either.

I will refrain from responding in a manner befitting that post.

I doubt you will ever see anything as ugly as that.

gonna be hard for them to wear white jerseys since we will be wearing white jerseys

Blue jerseys then

When I was in school the song was "Up With the White and Gold". I didn't know it had been changed to "Up With the White Blue and Gold."

So if uniforms are red have the interlocking GT on them and are worn by Georgia Tech SA's, it's OK? Where do you draw the line?

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.

Got out my 1973 Blueprint. The trim sure looks black to me. I do not remember seeing jerseys on the field or in the bookstore for sale with any blue. If it was blue it was a very dark navy blue that was perceptibly black. We sure as heck didn't have blue pants, jerseys or helmets.

You don't know Bill Curry or you wouldn't make the statement you made. You also don't know the dire situation of the GTAA in 1980--and Bobby Dodd was much to blame for the situation. We were lucky to get Curry--who got things headed in the right direction. We'd be better off today if he had been hired as AD instead of Radakovich,

Otherwise, I don't know what you are suggesting. The success of Cremins and Ross had nothing to do with jersey colors. As I recall, Cremins teams wore black at times, although that was a long time ago and I could be mis-remembering.
