Uniforms vs Miami

[Oakland]

Whoever made this decision needs to be reassigned or fired.

Yes, send them to UNC.

I'm not crazy about our uniform choices, but they are, without a doubt, the least of our problems.

 

[TampaBuzz]

I’m sorry but this is awful

If I lived in Atl, I would go to the Brent Key live radio show and ask 3 questions.
1. Who decided on blue pants?
2. When did that person receive their pink skip?
3. When is the bonfire to burn the things?

I'm so glad the decision makers decided that for Homecoming, instead of sticking with a traditional uniform like WGW, GBW, or GWG, they decided to go funky with GWB with a white outlined GT. Because, ya know, it just makes total sense. The only good think about these uniforms are the white facemasks.

 

[stinger78]

I’m not a fan, but it’s not worth a lot of negative mojo. Just deal with it and pull for the team.

I don’t even know what to say about this one. I really don’t get why we keep wearing helmets with only an outlined logo. Why are we wearing blue pants again? I really thought those would’ve died. If we’re gonna wear blue why isn’t it the blue jersey. G/N/W is our 2nd most iconic uniform behind G/W/G and we haven’t worn it once with the current uniform set. The last time we wore it in a game was 2018 vs. Clemson. I thought with Key our uniforms would become more, well, uniform. Now I think our visual identity is more scattered and inconsistent than it’s ever been, which quite honestly is impressive given our history with funky uniform designs and decisions. These are money, and by far our best alternate look. Why don’t we ever see them? So much better than white over blue.

I suspect we would all agree a win in any uniform color scheme is the goal. But I sure do miss the Navy color shirts with gold helmets/white logo and white pants look.

I think the only way to make this stop is to flood Batt's mail box with handwritten letters. Mine will be going out first thing Monday. Don't underestimate the effect of a handwritten letter.

And I will be writing one embracing our use of navy. It looks awesome.

 

[MidtownJacket]

haha @TooTall I had a similar though - I can't imaging how uncomfortable that would be without even adding in pads and the helmet.. It bends the mind to figure out how he folded himself in there.

We must be heading in the right direction if these would be the three most important questions you would want to.

I don’t really think the use of navy is what gets people up in arms, it’s the navy pants. Navy pants make zero sense to me, especially with the white jersey. Most football uniforms look better when the pants either match the helmet, or are a lighter color. Even when you disregard the entire white & gold vs. navy argument, Light/Light/Dark in 3 different colors is probably the worst possible combination for a football uniform. I can’t think of a single iconic uniform throughout football history that follows that formula. The Saints wear G/W/B sometimes and it’s objectively their worst combination.

If we’re gonna wear navy I think most folks would be perfectly fine with navy tops and either white or gold pants. We haven’t worn the navy tops once since 2022, but we’ve worn navy pants (which are objectively our worst look) multiple times since then. It just really doesn’t make any sense. Even when we wore navy tops with white helmets it didn’t look bad. Not exactly Tech-like, but still much better than navy pants in any shape or form. If we’re gonna wear navy I’d much rather it be jerseys than pants, but the navy jersey seems to have disappeared for some reason.

(Oh and would you look at that, a helmet logo you can actually see. Key’s staff may actually be worse than Geoff when it comes to uniforms)

But he WINS MORE GAMES. And here I though that was the main point of playing football.

You’re right. But this is the uniform thread on the uniform and color forum for the uniform and color team. If I wanted to talk about winning football games I’d go join an Alabama board, who coincidentally never messes with their uniforms.

I'll disagree here. Geoff wore combos where it wouldn't even have gold as a primary base, WNW and WWN for example.

Key last year had us in white and gold every game (except for the required adidas alternate vs BG) this year it looks like he's let either the players have some input or let the equipment staff experiment which is what has caused this disappointing combo.


Is it the worst of all time? Hell no, 2012 takes the cake and 2015 was really bad. The jersey still has the classic look and the helmet looks GREAT. If we had white or gold pants instead of blue this set would look amazing.

Have you seen those incredulous looks he gives reporters when he doesn’t think what they asked was valuable?

 

[Gold1]

The decision making from the GTAA just continues to baffle the mind. Whoever offered this uni combo wouldve been laughed out the room by any real GT fan.

 

[GTrob21]

I honestly don't mind the blue pants too much. If the players like them, then eh, I'm for it. The item that really gets me is the GT emblem outlined in white. To me, it looks cheap and doesn't stand out. Fill that GT in with a solid white; it will stand out and be recognized 10x more.

 

[tomknight]

you guys have totally missed the worst part of the uniform. it's the old school basketball shorts that now suffice for pants.

As far as color, it's whatever the players want. Beyond that, I could care less.

 

[MountainBuzzMan]

I try not to get too much into uniform colors. But, I would even prefer black pants over blue pants
