I don't know why you're angry at me for telling you how economics works man.
The fact of the matter is I have been in UGA's bookstore. Many times actually and there is a decent bit of clothing that's not red in there. They have a lot of grey shirts just like every other school's bookstore. They also have a GAMEDAY marketed section that's all Red with a culture of wear red to games. The only 2 pieces of UGA clothing I own is a dark grey t-shirt and a red alumni polo (because it was the only thing with the word alumni on it in the store but that's a different issue)
I'm all for changing the culture of gameday to being one of solid gold but that doesn't mean every day throughout the week I need to wear gold GT stuff. I love my grey shirt with a giant GT all over it. I love my navy Orange bowl champs shirt. The bookstore needs variety and I think it's up to the AA and Adidas to market the wear gold on gameday push.
I've outlined my idea of it many times both in chat and on the forums. They need to pick a gold color and print off cheap GT gameday shirts to send to all the season ticket holders for football and basketball. Then put those same shirts in the bookstore for $10 which is cheaper than all the other shirts. Make sure that shirt is the focus of the marketing with a tag of Get your gameday shirt. They do something similar for the students already they need to do it for the wide audience as well.
Also this is what my friend wore to the UGA vs UNC kickoff game last year (she did undergrad at uga and grad at UNC)
Where do you think she found a UGA shirt in carolina blue?
