Jersey Replicas Surface

[gt13]

The Georgia Tech Athletics Facebook page just posted a picture of their shipment of GT replica jerseys that just got in for this season with a big 2 on them.

Anyone else see these? Are these our new uniforms? I think its different from last year's design. However, the numbers still have a gold bubblewrap print... albeit a less-obvious one.

I could be totally wrong. I saw it on Facebook but our buddies over on Stingtalk are already all over it.

Haha:

Lex Williams I think I just threw up in my mouth. Those are horrible!

They're really not that bad! Don't you think? I think less is more and there's not a whole lot going on on these uniforms. Simple is good. Penn State has my favorite uniforms in college football I think. Well not favorite but they're up there.

Personally, I don't really care all that much about uniforms. I'll like them if the players like them.

On the other hand, I do like Oregon's chrome helmets as well as our previous throwbacks.

If we win 10 or more games this year, almost everyone will like them!

Ugly.

If that's what the team will be wearing, then I like last year's design better. And that's a sad, sad statement to make.

Nope, I'll still hate them. People dismiss uniforms as a silly issue but it's becoming a much larger branding issue.

They're way too bland. Like it just seems like there's nothing on the front. If someone was walking down the street in it, I'd have to look real close to know that it's a GT uni.

 

[John]

Ugly.

Eric, tell us how you _really_ feel.

 

[GTrob21]

Good Lord this is horrible, why in the world can nobody see this at the AA? They are running the brand of GT into the ground... This makes us look incompetent to anybody who has a hint of business savvy in them.

 

[John]

Okay, I seriously doubt that this is the design that the team will be wearing this season.

Really don't like them. Reminds me of HS uniforms.

Remember these are replicas. Leave it to Russell to make replicas that don't look like the real thing. From last year
Replica:

Real Thing:

Font, navy outline, plastic numbers, fit, quality are all different. Just take it as Russell hates our fans more than they hate our players

Both look like garbage.

 

[awbuzz]

they'll still be more palatable if we win regularly especially if we beat UGA.

 

[gt13]

Goodness look at those replicas from last year. . .

 

[CuseJacket]

Jerseys are not trivial. They impact recruiting and, for some, performance. Russell already has to overcome the fact that their products say Russell. Mailing it in on uniform design year-over-year compounds the issue.

It is no longer the off season, no more uniform threads.

True, everyone here I'm sure will agree they could dress like oompa loompas if they want as long as they win football games, and for f***s sake Russell had better make a quality oompa loompa replica jersey
