[QUOTE="Supersizethatorder-mutt, post: 691899, member: 435"] We are unfortunately past the point of no return. When, for whatever the hell their reasons were, Homer Rice and Bobby Cremins decided they wanted blue to be our tertiary (now secondary) color and started wearing blue uniforms (only in men's basketball initially), they started all this. Prior to then, although I don't think many fan bases at all wore school-oriented gear all that much in public, all you could get at Tech shops (on campus and off) was gold, with a smattering of grey. Then the NCAA stuck their stupid noses into the fray by forcing home teams to wear dark jerseys in football, and Tech started wearing blue ones. From that point on, fans, media, even opponents started thinking Tech's primary color was blue, and blue on-the-street-wear started popping up everywhere. Since that is thankfully no longer an NCAA requirement for uniforms, I just wish would go back to the classic white and gold uniforms in ALL sports. Would that effect availability and sales of on-the-street-wear? Initially, probably very little, but in time, when people realize what our real colors are, it COULD. But the way Tech literally pushes blue on everyone, there will have to be a complete change of the mindset from with the Tech Athletics administration, and particularly marketing. [/QUOTE]
