[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 474004, member: 435"] I don't think they SHOULD care what i think, anymore than I should care what they think. But I also don't think official decisions, no matter how petty they may seem to some, should be based on what the players "like." Maybe if someone had explained to them why you simply shouldn't wear blue when you face a team whose primary color is blue, they would have thought differently. Maybe if someone had explained to them why traditions matter at any school, they would be more likely to choose to stay with some combination of white and gold. Maybe someone has said those things, and they simply don't care. I find that last one a little hard to believe though. I have no idea what thought process they used in stating their preferences, but common sense should prevail, and I don't think we should ever wear blue when blue is the dominant color in the other team's uniforms, even if it is a different shade of blue. I personally think that someone should have stepped up and said that. It would be equally stupid to wear blue when (if) we play Navy or Pitt or UVA or Auburn or BYU or whoever. Now when both teams on the field have gold or white as a primary color, then we should wear (and the players should be encouraged to embrace) whatever combination best says Georgia Tech, and to hell with the other team.
