[QUOTE="TechCubed, post: 612511, member: 491"] This may help answer some questions. From a friend at GTAA involved in the project: [I] Thanks for the feedback. When we previewed them for several guys on the team this weekend, they loved it. It's a great cause, and we hope that we'll be able to elevate Cape Day to new heights for CHOA. As far as how this came about, we sat down with GT historian several years ago when we were researched origins of school colors. She gave us a lot of background on various eras, and the "gray devils" were something that stuck out to us. Last year, when adidas came to us to discuss a uniform tied to a charitable cause, this was something that resonated with everyone as a way to tie it into our history. CHOA was a natural partner, given our long relationship with them. I grew up going to the Scottish Rite game on Thanksgiving morning. The cape day tie-in came up in discussions with them, so it was a perfect way to bring it all together as a one-time uniform. Showed the concept uniform to Coach Collins in his first week, and he was 100% on board with it. With the jerseys, t-shirts and cape proceeds, we're taking the adidas charitable concept to the next level. We'll have some more stuff to share as we get to game week, but we couldn't be more excited about being part of this. [/I] [/QUOTE]
