but lose the honeycomb pattern or whatever that is


It's not a honeycomb pattern, it's part of the Adidas template and embedded into the jersey fabric. It's affectionately called the "tire treads" in the logo design community.

As a Tech fan, no uniform company will ever escape our fans saying: "wrong shade of gold".


No doubt! Sounds like they are working on making a decision on the " Right Shade of Gold"

quote:

Georgia Tech’s new partnership with Adidas already has at least one project underway – selecting one shade of gold that can be used consistently on uniforms, fan apparel and graphics. Athletic director Todd Stansbury said that Tech staff and designers from Adidas are in the process of choosing between 20 and 30 shades of gold. He said the decision will come soon. “From a merchandise standpoint, you have to get that (color) down,” he said. “Because if we have a gold-out, who knows how many different shades of gold and yellow will show up to that game?” Stansbury said that the new gold will be called “Ramblin’ Wreck gold.”


quote:

“It definitely provides us with an opportunity to get our gold out there,” Stansbury said. “That’s one of the things I’ve always heard: ‘Well, I want to wear gold to the games, but I can’t find it.’ I think that’s going to be one of our priorities, is, how do we work with them to make sure that the people who want to find Georgia Tech gold can find it.” It is, undoubtedly, part of Tech’s appeal to Adidas. Said Murphy, “I’m sure the fan base is starved for product.”

The honeycomb pattern is on the Russell jerseys.

Why did they get rid of Russell Athletic?



probably because Russell is going out of business.

I really hope we don't get the stupid tire treads on our uniforms. It is a step up from the Russell honeycomb design though.

Don't see any reason why we would struggle moving the ball on them. Hoping Lynch has his first big game of the year to go along with Marshall and Benson! I predict 0 fg attempts by us!

Those are sweet. If adidas brings those back as an alternate they will be on the good side of fans imo.

I like the fact that they are choosing the one gold color, that will be way more consistent. Also idk why some people question GT leaving Russell, russell is pure garbage.

I actually like the all navy ones, maybe I am crazy

At least the most successful program in the Atlanta metro is no longer Russell

This is a little off topic but do Tech fans want their next HC to run the triple option?

I think y'all would be a good power spread type team, dual threat QB would be a bonus. Imo the triple option will get you solid wins but is harder to get 11/12 win seasons.

All gold isn't good but all navy looks good. Gold top with navy bottom and vice-versa would be nice.

Russell didn't cheat enough for us. If we want to be big time then we need to join up with top notch cheating apparel companies.

I think we have to run something unusual but then I was in school for seasons 79-81 so I may be biased. Lesser athletes running what everybody else does didn't work back then.

We should wear the Calvin throwbacks once a year but LSU has a set just like them. Maybe next time we play them in the Peach Bowl both teams could wear theirs.

The authentic gold is an ugly color for clothing.

If we committed to the authentic gold it would be awesome. I would love to have a color that is distinctively ours sort of like Tennessee and Texas with their respective oranges. That much better to me than going with washed out colors in the name of fashion.
