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.
yeah the gold ones from last year had the same cheap look. Adidas confuses me.
So what I have heard is that the gold Primeknit jerseys we had for the spring game last year were rushed and Adidas used the wrong gold thread. CGC wanted to have a gold jersey last year so they rushed the WVN A1 jerseys for us to have ready for the season. The cape day unis were already in production also in Primeknit at the time. So fast forward to this year, word is we are getting new gold Primeknit jerseys to replace those WVN A1 from last year, hopefully they will be done in time. We were also supposed to get new cape day uniforms and that did not happen on time because of Covid. I assume those would have been Primeknit also. The black watch throwbacks apparently have been in the works for a while also, and I assume since we are already getting new Primeknit jerseys this year, they could not get these done on that template in time so went ahead and made them in the WVN A1 for us.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
