We are still going to follow a 90yr old car onto our 100+ yr old field. Plenty of respect is paid to our past but we need to take the opportunity with Adidas to shift the uniforms forward. Everybody has their favorite combination from their golden days. We can’t make them all work. Make what the kids want to wear. It’s no coincidence that when given the choice, they picked the white helmets.
My answer to this is to do what Georgia Southern has done.
Tech should have a traditional home and away uniform ( they should be different even if both have a white base).
They should have an alt Home uniform they where once a year, that changes every year
They should have at least two alt home getups. And one alternate away.
We should have a few more alt helmets.
My ideal home uniform is White base, Gold numbers outlined in Navy, GT on the neck with gold piping on the side and gold/ blue gold tri triping on the shoulders. With white pants with a gold blue gold piping down them.
My ideal way is a white base, with blue piping on the side, Blue numbers Gold pants, with White blue White Piping and no striping on the shoulder pads. Both of these with gold helmets.
My White out uniform is all white with Gold numbers, no piping and the pants are white with Gold White Gold piping. worn with White helmet with a gold blue gold strip down it.
My alt jersey color is Gold with White numbers, Blue white Blue striping on the shoulders, White on the side of the jersey into White pants with Blue Gold Blue piping worn with the white helmet.
My first crazy alt is the "Black Watch" uniform. This uniform is Gold jerseys with Black numbers, a black stripe down the helmet with a black GT, white pants, with Gold Black Gold piping and the words Black Watch, on the back instead of names.
My second is the Yellow Jacket Engineers uniform. This one is a pure throwback, White pants, Gold jersey with white numbers, the reads " Engineers" on the front, these are worn with a Gold helmet with No Interlocking GT.
We also have another helmet and uniform that takes the place of the "whacky greys bs" that recruits like and avoids a black uniform.
This uniform as Navy jersey's with gold white gold piping, Navy pants, with Gold White Gold Piping, white numbers, Gold piping down the side into the pants. and is worn with a Navy helmet with a white face mask and the Gold Interlocking GT. This is our version of a "black" uniform. We don't where it unless its a bowl game ( and to begin with a bowl game we are expected to win) the goal of this uniform is to send the message that when you play us in this " you will leave black and blue"
This gives us enough variation for recruiting without going to insane and outside of our norm. Our normal games will be in either white or gold
