I feel like most teams who wear gold have a hard time matching the golds due to the materials, especially if a metallic gold is involved. Nike does the best job. Just look at ND. Their golds never match. The uniforms we wore in 2006 were a totally different material than what we wear today. The pants and jersey material had more of a sheen look to it which allowed the metallic gold to translate better and match the helmet. Today the material is more mute/matte. It’s like uga’s pants. They’re called the silver britches, which was accurate in the 90s/00s. Today, they’re more of a light gray color due to the material.
