If this is a CHOA recognition event we should have really mixed in their primary color of green into our unis somehow?
A gray that looks navy
Sure beats the constant nit picking about Geoff...commenting for a friend.LOL. you have to be new here. The longest threads on this whole board are about uniforms and colors...
Damn!
Is this how low our program has fallen?
We are now a fashion show?
No discussion about X's and O's, no discussion about Jimmies and Joes?
Uniforms???
Damn!!
Noooooooooooo, don't even suggest it, or it might be done.If this is a CHOA recognition event we should have really mixed in their primary color of green into our unis somehow?
Poor optics and marketing by the school is a big part of why we are what we are as a program. Because of recruiting and money it’s part of the game now. Get used to it. As an athletics program we are behindDamn!

I hear your frustration and echo it to an extent. It's fun to talk about uniforms but only when your playing well and winning. It does seem sometimes that the football staff cares more about stuff like uniforms than X's and O's. I just want to hear a press conference where coach talks more about X's and O's instead of how much juice, effort or whatever catch phrase we have. He says that elite programs have juice crews and that their vital to on the field success, but I have yet to see an elite program have one. I see elite programs disciplined and focused. Catch phrases were great before the season but after 4 games and no real progression you're beating a dead horse.
Wish they had also put the white "shadow" around the midfield GT. But that is what the field should ALWAYS look like. I love it.Field looks beautiful View attachment 6858
That's the excuse that some always use. How do we know as a fact that they like the different combinations? Hell, with the tastes kids have today, they would probably like anything different, but that doesn't mean they are good. Besides, they are recruited to come play for Georgia Tech .... PERIOD. What they think about tangential issues should in no way affect their performance on the field, and if it does, then they shouldn't be playing. In most places tradition trumps "new and different" every time. It should at Tech also.The players and recruits LOVE the different uniform combinations. It's about today's marketing and the recruits we are connecting with. You would make a terrible recruiting coordinator. And, I got out in 76.
I was going to make the same comment about mid field.Wish they had also put the white "shadow" around the midfield GT. But that is what the field should ALWAYS look like. I love it.

In his defense you can market traditional stuff too. We just sucked at any kind of it. You have to be good at Xs and Os but you also have to put butts in seats, eyes on tv, and bring players to the school. If no one knows you exist you’re going to have a bad time. You can think the unis are ugly but also acknowledge that it gets us publicity which we sorely needWeirdest thing about your post is the fact that @Supersizethatorder-mutt gave you a 'like'.
Supers, you finally accepting that this kinda stuff is to be expected nowadays? Or did you misread the post?

Supersize would probably be a fan of doing some throwback nights occasionally. Penn State is doing it this week

And how does PennSt have "throwback" nights?
- Serious question considering their uniforms are already basically thrown back. I started to take that down a totally different, probably ban-worthy, path but chose not to.
Not sure what you are talking about. I have always been down on Tech's marketing (or lack thereof).Weirdest thing about your post is the fact that @Supersizethatorder-mutt gave you a 'like'.

Other than throwbacks to 1990 or the Black Watch, virtually all throwbacks would be G/W/G, and we already wear G/W/G to some extent. Dodd used that combo the vast majority of the time. So what exactly do you have in mind?In his defense you can market traditional stuff too. We just sucked at any kind of it.
