[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 392816, member: 3094"] Part of this is simply a lack of brand identity for almost 20 years. for a long time we had a fairly traditional style to our uniform, the colors might get messed with a little but we were pretty consistent. Then when we signed with russell in what was basically the first ever major apparel deal in college football. The gold kept changing colors. Russell was pretty decent about the on field uniforms ( even setting a few trends that would be done better by other manufacturers later liek side paneling into paneling on the pants that was adopted by the steelers then ended up everywhere in the "modern" uniform look. The problem was year to year they seemed to change the gold so pretty much no fan gear was made in consistent gold coloring. This lead to Navy basically becoming our primary fan gear color. Navy was easy to find, and people typically like darker colors than wearing white for every day wear. Then we have another issue. Most schools have a consistent color across both academic and athletic materials. Tech doesn't. Athletically we are old gold, white and navy. Academically you still find a lot of Yellow, Black and white stuff. Buzz is also these colors rather than say, old gold and navy. I can find more black shirts with a gold yellow jackets written on them than i could old gold with white. Pretty much every other school has matching academic and athletic color palettes even if the logos for the school are different for both. [/QUOTE]
