[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 553603, member: 4572"] I’ve been on these forums for a while, but this is my first post. For whatever reason, these gold/color debates always intrigue me. However, I’ve noticed that your sole argument is the “Tech is the only school with white and gold as [I]primary [/I]colors.” I believe that just because those are the two colors you designate as [I]primary, [/I]doesn’t make them unique. Any school that has gold as one of its colors has worn white and gold for their fair share of games, and probably the vast majority of their road games. Just because you claim 2 colors as [I]primary [/I]doesn’t mean you own those 2 colors. Almost every team in every sport, amateur or professional, uses white as the main color for at least one of its uniforms. White is not unique, no matter how hard you try, and claiming it is solely because you designate it as a [I]primary [/I]color does nothing. Florida State, Notre Dame, Vandy, UCLA, Pitt, Wake, Boston College, Navy, UCF, etc. all wear white and gold, and regardless of Tech being the only one that claims white and gold as their [I]primary [/I]colors, it doesn’t make it any more unique. I agree that Tech should utilize gold more within its palette, and that the gold that was chosen for “Tech Gold” is probably too light and washed out of a color. But your insistence that designating 2 colors as primary has any impact on how people see you is just wrong. I bet you didn’t know that Oklahoma’s official [I]primary [/I]colors are Crimson and Cream did you?

I guess I’m done with my semi rant, but I’ve just seen so many comments on these threads and I had to throw my two cents in. I’m sure some will still disagree but oh well. I feel better about it now.
