Not with this kind of quality and not with the care they put into their designs. The closest thing we currently have is the print-on-demand Vintage site, which I just don't see as being a very high quality product, especially in terms of printing. I'm pretty excited about Homefield after having seen their collections for other schools. I hope our fans will buy enough of their merch to provide evidence that when presented with quality designs, we will show up and buy.
I guess I just don’t see that “quality” or “care” in the designs. I’ve handled the Homefield products before (obviously for other schools), and I’m not impressed in the slightest. Especially so given the hype around Homefield.
OK. Name me someone currently doing a line of vintage t-shirts for Georgia Tech.
This was my previous post:
Well, I’d have to go with Vintage Brands. Vintage stuff doesn’t really interest me (don’t like our older logos/mascots), but I’ve had both it (Vintage Brand) and Homefield in hand for UGA gear. Not at the same time/side by side, but I don’t recall anything overly different in quality between the two to make me swoon over the Homefield. And looking at the lineups of the two right now online, they look very similar in vintage stuff for UGA, so I’d assume it would be similar when Homefield makes GT stuff. But again, I’d rather have modern white and gold gear. Our vintage apparel seems to not be white and gold. At best it’s usually a mustard color, or cheddar yellow, because that’s what the logos and mascots were.
OK, just going to have to disagree with you about the quality of the designs between those 2 vendors, big time. Not even remotely in the same ballpark.
Okie dokie...if you say so...
I do. The Vintage brand is literally just hastily scanned old images, some of which look alright on clothing and some of which really don't--there might as well be no human involvement in that process at all.
Maybe that’s why I can’t tell much of a difference between the two, even when it’s been in hand. I don’t care for vintage logos…at all…won’t even match our team’s colors on the field.
I love Section 103, but they don’t have a vintage license. Hill Flint only does sweaters, sweatshirts.
I’d almost be willing to bet a sizable amount on anything “gold” vintage produced by Homefield will NOT be anything close to our current gold, and be more cheddar or mustard. Therefore it can stay in the past for all I care. Or it’ll be on neutral bases like white, gray, navy or black. I want gold tops for game day in BDS.
I don’t have a problem with any of this. I wear our current gold, or white, to games. Away from the stadium, I wear navy, or gray, or whatever millions of shades of yellow to dark old gold we’ve used in the past 100+ years.
Well good. Maybe they will sell some of it if they make it. For me, the old logos/styles just don’t cut it. Aside from the block “T” or the Wreck, I don’t like any of our older marks we’ve used. Give me those, the occasional Buzz, or mainly a white GT on gold, or god GT on white and I’m good. Please none of that sickly looking hornet looking creature!
If it’s good enough for the back of the wreck it’s good enough for me. Give me this all day long -
Ehh…I’d have to see it on a shirt to be for sure, but doesn’t do a thing for me as is.
