TStan wants your feedback: Branded Items at Retail

I'd wear white, but it shows the chili dog stains too well. Is it too late for us to use brown as a color?

We've heard many times about your love of black trim.

Yes, I prefer black trim, but I can deal with navy trim. What I can't deal with is the predominant use of navy in our uniforms, whether football, basketball, or whatever.

I'm sure this will come as no surprise to anyone, and it may piss off some, but for the questions in which comments were allowed, I consistently voiced my objection to the emphasis on Navy.

I made sure it was known that this was was my "least favorite" trim color of all of the options. Heck, I like gray and black both better than navy blue.

I just hope they read the comments we made.

Recruits coming to a game and seeing Bobby Dodd look like a gold version of this would be a good start into branding us as a storied program. I always wear tech gold at games.

Here's our average game now. Looks terrible.

If it were not for the empty gold seats (SAD), there would be very little in consistent gold to be found....

I can deal with anything but my wife's cooking and 3 more hour and I'll have to time to, so time start drinking again.

Since my HS colors were purple and gold, I can't really dislike purple when used by anyone. What's important to remember though is that the use of purple is rare among colleges. And purple and orange is definitely unique. I think LSU is the only other school of note that has purple as an official color. Tech is virtually unique in being the White and Gold, so why screw things up with other colors, especially blue which is almost as non-unique among colleges as is red.

My high school, Pepperell High in NW GA, also had old gold and white as their primary colors, so it has always been my team's colors.

White and gold all day. That's what the apparel should look like

You know I agree, but I have no problem with yellow.

I will buy grey, but I will not buy navy.

I like both.

I have grey GT sweatpants and navy GT basketball shorts.

I also have gold GT basketball shorts and that weird white short sleeve basketball hoodie.

All of it is Adidas.

I also do not buy because of the manufacturer. I will buy anything that looks good, and frankly, at least some of the Adidas stuff does not look good.

All I am saying is that for a college sports fan, ANY college sports fan, to wear gear that "looks better" to them, rather than the colors for which the school is known, is nothing more than vanity.

Lol. Ok. Sure. To be fair, aside from Tech gear, I only wear clothes like the High Sparrow at work and socially, because I do not want to be considered vein. It should be considered a sin to want to rep one's team and also wear attractive gear. Wearing official colors of your school that are not 100% "primary" colors should not be tolerated. Shame! Shame! Shame!

Do you think the gear worn by Clemson and Tenn and Texas fans, or even that worn by Bama or mutt fans is "attractive"? I can assure you that, other than possibly the mutt fans who have no taste at all, those other fans don't worry about whether it is attractive or not, and generally speaking it is NOT attractive. But they wear it anyway, and they wear it PROUDLY. Why can't Tech fans do the same?

I also put in my survey that I wanted GT apparel that isn't shaped like a cardboard box. I'm not particularly well-built but a well-fitting GT tshirt would be much appreciated. They should just custom order some Tech Gold shirts from Next Level and stamp an interlocking white logo on it. I'd pay $20 and wear it even on non-gamedays.

 

[Animal02]

Oh I made it known in the comment area that I attend 15+ GT games a year. Average roughly $500+ in bought apparel a year. I'm a season ticket holder. Donate over an additional $500 a year to the GT program. I stated "I'm a Hell of an Engineer, I'm rowdy and dang proud to be a GT fan!

$500 in apparel? So you bought one sweat shirt and one polo.

If you will come over and cut my grass I'll agree with you on everything for one month.

But you will just scream “Get off my lawn” the entire time.

Tech fans can where white and gold proudly, and I do. That said, I can also wear navy blue Tech gear proudly too. They are not mutually exclusive.

That may be true, but IMO only gold or white should be worn to a game.

I would prefer the 50s and 60s for a number of things, but the color of Dodd's uniforms and my age at that time are the top two on my list.
