GT Primary Colors debate

[Gold1]

if anyone is doubting our colors or uniforms just show them these uniforms. This is how God intended the Jackets to look

Anyone else remember the 2006 ACC Championship game? I distinctly remember it because I came home from running errands on a Saturday afternoon to turn on the TV and be somewhat astounded we were wearing something resembling the 1990 era home uniforms, except the shirt was - black (!?) I've had people point out to me the shirts were actually navy blue and got darker in the rain and that may be, but on the low-res TV of the day they looked black. For whatever reason, what they put together as a one-off for this game was darker than the Ross-era shirts even though the look was the same.

I miss these too. We definitely had a strong 'classic football' look going during this time.

BTW, those numbers on that jersey were navy blue, not black. I had one of the jerseys. It was beautiful. People used to hate Russell, but they produced good basic uniforms. They were not stylish, though, and that’s what folks wanted. When Russell tried to produce style it was bad with a capital B. IMPO, a lot of the Adidas stuff so far is not a whole lot better. TBH, I prefer a nice basic uniform over the stylish stuff that just looks funny to me. But… nobody is asking for my preference.

I'm sorry, while GGW is a uniform that I think is great and I wouldn't mind us rocking on occasion, below is what god intended...

I mean, look at that. Simple, classic.

You want photos of that stripe? I’ve got an old Blueprint with them. How many you need?

I don’t need much. I just had never seen them before with my own eyes.

Honestly they’re not THAT bad looking, it’s just... not Georgia Tech.

Good shot of #57 Lawton Hydrick wearing the distinctive knee pads on the outside.

Lawton was a beast! Huge pecs. His shirts would hang a good 4” out from his waist. I had many classes with him. Just a monster.

Looks like Rudy Allen with Tony Head, David Sims, and Adrian Rucker (?) behind him against Notre Dame. Maybe September 1974? If so, the next year was the “Rudy” year (1975) up at S Bend, the next year (1976) was the year we beat them at BDS w/o throwing a pass, and the next year (1977) was the year Devine supposedly gave Pepper the one finger salute on the way to 69-14 win behind none other than Joe Montana.

Looks like Nike and UNC Charlotte nailed the “Old Gold” look for their first game…

Adidas could call them up and ask for the color number.

Check out the reveal that Charlotte put up when showing them to the players. It's completely different than what is shown in these photos. In person, they are extremely washed out and look like the old UCF gold uniforms from when O'Leary was coaching.

This is the classic GA Tech look right there. Adidas, take note.

The Saints do the best job with the old gold. The only problem is you cannot match the helmet.
