Uniform reveal - Notre Dame

[JacketOff]

If you guys want another reason to be upset with adidas... Tech is the only adidas school to unveil a new jersey this week that’s not in adidas’ premier jersey template, the A1 Primknit. Tech’s black jersey in the WVN A1, which is a step down from the Primeknit. What’s the difference in performance/comfort/wearability you might ask? I don’t know, you’d have to ask a player. But optically its pretty cheap that Tech isn’t wearing the best material when everybody else is.

If you’re wondering, both of the white jerseys, the navy, and the grey are A1 Primeknit, while the gold is also WVN A1. You can tell by the diagonally knitted lines (or lack thereof) across the chest of the jersey.

Normal white jersey has it:

New black jersey doesn’t

Everyone else’s new jerseys have it

Just a little bit more anti-adidas material for you folks who are already anti-adidas, or maybe push some who were on the fence to the other side.

This could not have come at a worse time. It will serve as a bitter reminder of what could be vs. what is.

Go Jackets!

I think with the way Nike has monopolized pro sports every college will move that direction soon.

I believe that’s intentional because it’s a “throwback”. There wasn’t a primeknit in the mid 80s. I could be wrong though.

I have a feeling you’re correct with this. I truly believe these are supposed to be as close to the original jerseys as possible. Hence the “throwback” name. As far as I can tell, all the other black Adidas jerseys released this week are totally new designs.

 

[VintageWreck]

Sorry!

Its Up with the White and Gold.
Down with the Red and Black.
Tertiary Navy is AOK.

Never wear Black!

 

[RyanS12]

I for one love the black as our 3rd color over navy blue. It looks much better in my opinion. Get rid of the navy please.

100% agree! Now I’m not a navy hater, I just think our colors look much better with black.

yeah the gold ones from last year had the same cheap look. Adidas confuses me.

Well, that makes two of you!

 

[bke1984]

Kind of sad we are going to don these jerseys with the defense we’ve been fielding lately.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

Well, that makes two of you!

If you listened to the pre-game show Saturday, I think it was clear that there are quite a few of us who don't like blue.

 

[roedeo]

Can’t wait to see David curry take himself out of plays at turtle speed in these sick unis

Remind you of anyone?

I really hope they keep this style of uniform when adidas updates their template next year. The sleeve stripes, the pant stripes, the collar stripes, the number font... that’s what a Georgia Tech football uniform should look like. I don’t care how many different colors of jerseys and pants they get, but the striping is makes unique to Tech. The “stinger” stripes on the current set look goofy and could be interchangeable with any team in the country. We can mix and match colors at will, but for the love of God put proper stripes on there.

Yes keep the striping and KEEP THE DAMN NUMBERS ON THE SHOULDER PADS! We pretty much created that look and we don't even use it anymore. The freaking Dallas Cowboys patterned their jersey after US. Not a bad compliment.

Louisville and Arizona State are both wearing throwbacks that are Primeknit. Adidas went the cheap way with Tech, whether intentionally or not it’s not a good look


They even went the extra mile with ASU and gave the numbers a faux-mesh look. That’s not a new phenomenon, but it’s weird they gave ASU the faux-mesh with Primeknit, and Tech got neither. This was a choice made either by adidas or Tech to save money.


Rutgers even wore a long-sleeved Jersey last year to celebrate their 150th anniversary of college football that was Primeknit

Like I said, I don’t know whether Tech or adidas made the call, but whoever did had saving money in their interests.

Looks like it. You’d know better than me on this, I was taking a guess.

 

[JacketOff]

Another adidas school unveiling a new uniform with the A1 Primeknit jersey template. That makes 7 of the 12 adidas schools with new alternates, 6 of which are in the premier template. Tech the only one in the cheaper version

 

[Gold1]

What's weird as well is that the spring game gold unis were in the primeknit material and then the ones we wore in the games were the cheaper baggier ones made in the same template as these new black ones. Not sure if that falls on Tstan or Adidas. Probably both

 

[TechPreacher]

They might as well throw these uniforms in the trash now, because after the beat down coming up this weekend, they will become the butt of every joke, and another step in the "fundamental change" of Tech football will be complete. Why would they want to completely ruin one of the best Tech historical stories by trotting them out this weekend?

I'm just hoping Notre Dame plays like they did against FSU and Louisville, and GT plays like we did against FSU and Louisville, because I think GT wins if they do.

You have to understand the new philosophy of Tech, if you don't have time to coach the defense to be elite than just dress them to look elite.
