GT Helmet History

Never use the Carson era Mustard gold - butt ugly!

Like the color on this table covering/flag thing? Because that is absolutely the best gold.

Mustard has a nostalgic feel to it harkening back to those years before gold was not available in fabric. Fabrics slowly evolved and we are just now getting close to “the right shade of old gold” in a jersey but this color was around a long time and I hate to “throw it away.” Lots of history in that color.

Great photo!

The constant inability to match golds is part of why I love this gold. Not only is it extremely unique and not easily confused for any other white/gold/navy school, it's easier to duplicate across different materials and have them match.

You should have seen the 1971 Gulden's Mustard ones Carson wanted us to wear.

Picture Day & Peach Bowl 2nd half were the only times we wore..... consider it Sun Bowl hangover/rejection of Carson's pure BS.

I should also note that it's STILL the color of Tech letter jackets. I love this gold, too.

I stand corrected about the single stripe helmet..... the infamous honey combs.

Most likely a prototype... single gold stripe down the middle, I dare say, has never been part of the GT uni set.

Or possibly a kid's item from The Crest Shop/Tech Shop or maybe The Robbery.

Actually...I think that was a prototype. Some weird honeycomb thing with a single stripe never to be seen again (praise the lord and pass the turkey).
