[QUOTE="chris975d, post: 663583, member: 3766"] Just to play devil’s advocate for a minute though, one issue that is always present when using gold as a color, is if we did make our jerseys more metallic like the Calvin version pictured above is that you’d probably still have a metallic and non-metallic variant. If our current jerseys were just like those Calvins, would many fans buy and wear a polo shirt/sweatshirt/hoodie that looked exactly like that material and have the shine/sheen to it? I would if available, but I really doubt many would. And virtually no one would wear such a shirt outside of game day to work/the office/etc. Heck, many Tech fans don’t/won’t wear our current “gold” items now. Just look in BDS during any game...even our student section is more blue than gold typically. The best looking thing in the stands is usually the gold/white jackets that I think the Reck Club wears...I’d love to have one of those. So even if we went with a gold jersey material that had shine/sheen, which I’d personally love, I think we still end up with a non-metallic version for most of the fan gear. And then would it sell well, when gold is already a poor seller, if it didn’t match the look of the jerseys the team wears? This is probably why a lot of teams use a non metallic yellow (and call it gold) instead of an actual gold. At least the color can be consistent from players to fans, helmet to cloth. [/QUOTE]
