[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 691836, member: 4572"] I don’t think anybody is saying the fan base wants blue as the “main” color. The argument here is that more people would rather wear navy than gold on an everyday basis. This is true for most team apparel, whether you believe it or not. However, most fan bases [I][B]do [/B][/I]wear the “primary” color to games. Nobody wants to wear bright red, orange, yellow, gold, etc. that includes Tech fans. Most team shops offer more options in colors that aren’t as garish as most primary colors are. Examples: [LIST] [*]Alabama: a ton of gray with some black and white.
