As I am sure you already know, I don't want to see blue shirts, but I like your other ideas.IF we ever wear Blue home shirts I hope it is with White pants
IF we ever wear Gold home shirts I hope it is with White hats.
I would not object to a really sharpe Triple White (with great Gold trim) home uni. The old Jets and Baltimore Colts often wore Triple White at home.
You think anyone will really listen to us without a $20 mill donation?

I think it's the 2015 blue jersey we just did not wear it. It has numbers on the shoulders like the white ones we wore against UGA. You will see these this year if we wear navy tops.
Now just give me these with a Nike logo.
Georgia Tech never released an official announcement that we were moving on until now. We've known for a while, but it's always been on an unofficial basisIs this breaking news? I kind of thought this was openly announced a while ago. I was expecting to read something about us switching immediately or a new supplier being picked. I just don't really get the point of this ajc article.
From the myAJC article, it looks like it was Russell that told us they were not interested in renewing. Although this is probably a classic case of the "You're fired," "No I'm not. I quit" situation, it does seem that Russell has seen the writing on the wall and is pulling out of major collegiate athletics altogether.“We’ve got another year in our contract, so we definitely, with the direction that Russell’s kind of moving in corporate-wise, we’re going to be making a transition,” Stansbury told the AJC.
Russell Athletic’s presence in Division I college athletics has decreased in recent years. In 2016-17, Tech was reportedly one of four FBS schools with a Russell contract. Ohio University, Western Kentucky and Southern Mississippi were the three others. Ohio, whose Russell Athletic contract ended this past academic year, switched to Adidas. Western Kentucky and Russell Athletic, which are both located in Bowling Green, Ky., will part ways at the end of June, one year into a five-year contract extension. The school, a Russell partner since 2007, will join the Nike empire.
The brand also ended its sponsorship of an Orlando, Fla., bowl game after last season. That leaves Tech and Southern Mississippi as the only FBS schools not outfitted by Adidas, Nike or Under Armour.
Tech might well have come to the decision on its own, as school athletes, fans and athletic department staff were largely unenthusiastic about Russell Athletic’s offerings.
YESSSS !!!!
