[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 553427, member: 435"] The infrequent use of blue JERSEYS over the past 32 years is not the sign of consistency. The only regular use of blue jerseys was during the time period in which the NCAA mandated that home teams had to wear dark jerseys (STUPID RULE!!!). In all the years I attended Tech football games between 1962 and that particular time, I NEVER saw blue on a Tech uniform in any form. The trim was BLACK, as it had been since at least the 40s. As far as having used blue since 1893, I assume you are referring to that article from some publication back then that mentioned blue. The problem there is that the article CLEARLY stated that blue was a CLASS color, not the school color. All classes back in that time had separate colors, mascots, mottos, etc. In fact, if you look at the small article "class" has been highlighted by whoever posted it. So no, blue has NOT always been our contrasting color; the colors were white and gold with black trim. Yes, both Dodd and Alexander sometimes used blue jerseys, but that didn't change the general color scheme. Regardless of that, however, ALL we ever saw before last year was blue jerseys .... NEVER blue pants and certainly never all blue uniforms, except in basketball since Cremins started it. As far as what a random fan sees when he watches us play, he MIGHT see the interlocking GT, he MIGHT see the Wreck, he MIGHT see Buzz, but he DEFINITELY sees the uniforms, and since Tech is the only FBS school in the country whose primary colors are white and gold, that SHOULD be the immediate indetifying mark. Why do you insist on looking like Ga Southern, Pitt, UVA, Navy, ete, etc, when we have a UNIQUE brand? [/QUOTE]
