[QUOTE="GT flunkout, post: 886777, member: 4054"] The Tennessee comparison is completely lame and disingenuous. There's a reason you had to pull it out and it wasn't obvious to anyone - those are one-off alternate jerseys, that they don't wear in big games. They stick to their brand of orange and white 99% of the time. I don't mind the blue jerseys as an ALTERNATE once a year, and when we do I think this new jersey is definitely sharp, but definitely not in big games where you should be showcasing the brand.. Instead we've started wearing blue at least half of the time. This has more to do with branding than anything else, we have one of the best and most unique color schemes in college sports and we can't help but constantly dilute it. Historically, all of our branding and merchandising up until the mid 70s was all gold and white. Then GT branding completely effed it up for 15-20 years with all kinds of blues and blacks and yellows before we attempted to "get back to our roots" under O'Leary (with the greatest GT uniforms of all time in the late 90s in the Hamilton era). Didn't wear blue once under CGOL and only one time with CCG (2006 ACCCG). CPJ loved the Navy and you couldn't take him out of his Navy polos, but we still only wore it once a year on the field while he was here. But that's just like, my opinion, and you will have your opinion, and we'll both be right. [/QUOTE]
