For those wondering. I just got an email from the bookstore. My order of all 3 T shirts and the 1/4 zip up is all on back order.

Yep, same here. I ordered on 4/20. I got an email that says they don't really know when they will get more product in, but that it may be a few days yet. I'm not going to bust their b*lls about it, because I am a Georgia Tech fan. But in 2018, you shouldn't be able to order something that is not in stock without seeing a warning about it first. Its almost like they didn't know. And a few days later, they gathered up a bunch of orders from online and then walked around and said "huh, we don't really have any of this left." Not very competent. Oh well. Here I sit.

Right. If it’s out of stock do what every website in 2018 does and say it’s not in stock. Kind of a ****ty way to conduct business.

I ordered Saturday and am backordered on the zip tshirt and the gold t shirt; the coffee mug with the new word mark is also back ordered. The navy polo and white three stripe life shirt shipped.

It’s sucks but we all must remember this was a soft promo roll out for the spring game. It is very positive that all the adidas stuff sold out: heard because if this we will have even more designs and options coming in July. Everyone was pumped about how fast it all sold and really turned some heads in the AA and Adidas!

I don't love that the Twitter avatar for this site is mostly blue. I get that it's a GT color but we should be highlighting the new gold and of course white.

In similar fashion, for the header of the quote box in what you just posted or what I'm posting here, I would flip the gold and navy to highlight the gold and use navy as an accent. But maybe I'm just getting picky :LOL:
To be honest, I had not even noticed the gold at the end of the header, but I agree with you. Why start with blue and end with very little gold, when gold is the primary color?

We just had a major rebranding event, where we emphasized a new gold and a uniform gold. If there's a time to complain about it moving forward, it's now. Let's get it right and be done with it.

But I understand this isn't my site, so I've made my commentary and now I'll shut my mouth.
