AKA, what it’s been for the past 100 years or so now. (Oh boy, more color debates

Not sure when McTit was refurbished but it seems like we went at least 5 years without out court looking like baby poop on tv. I really don’t care about the accent color but gold should look gold. It’s our damn color after all.

Love it. I love our old gold/white distinction, but sometimes you need that darker accent color, and I think this is an appropriate use of it. This looks 10000000X better than last year. Way to go, T-Stan!

Blue has not been a Main color since recently, just a trim color.
I think that has changed.
As regards the court - when it was painted last time - there was not one soul at GT who raised the question of testing it “under the lights and on tv monitors”?
Just like a few years ago when we broke out new football tops of White with Gold numbers. Nobody could read them from the stands.
Sometimes we have the biggest congregation of smart people that are dumb azzes in the world.

Yeah. ‘Ol T-Stan should have stayed with the original Russell Southern floor painter who had done a great job for years before new The Adidas crew came along.

Technically the navy color is just trim here..

I'll acknowledge that navy is officially one of our colors but 300 of the 350 Division I basketball teams are navy. It's just ****ing boring. We have a chance to be special because of our gold main color and we refuse to even acknowledge it time and time again. I thought TStan had committed to the gold but that seems farcical at this point from everything I've seen from merch to our basketball court.

I believe these statements are accurate and support them fully. Court looks great now.

We already know the new GT gold sucks when it is used as a border to the court. So why the surprise at blue? I guess the only other option was a clear border but that would most likely work worse.
Anyone who has worked with colors in print, web or TV knows that they often don't come through the way you expect.

That's probably my favorite GT football jersey of all time.

You can run, but you can't hide. The navy/blue/anything-but-gold haters will find you.

In the case of the paint job update on the court, they might want to run.
The navy is used in a secondary manner and it looks good. Case closed.

One of my favs as well. Championships tend to do that to a uniform.
