Uniform combos. Nearly every school uses at least 3 colors in their uniform palette and a lot of them use non-school colors (eg uga and silver pants). It just happens that one of our primary colors is really more of a lack of color. Add in that our gold is not a very dark shade and you end up with a lack of contrast. Enter navy to provide contrast and options for different uniform combos.

Most everyone bitched about the Vegas gold of the Gailey years. It looked washed out and never matched the helmets. Plus I recall bitching about blue numbers and then bitching about not being able to see white numbers when blue numbers were not used.

the Gailey throwback was the best uniform of all time, but is nowhere close to what Tech considers to be its gold (either now or at that time).

I could be totally wrong here but doesn't the visiting team have to agree for us to wear white at home? It seems like it may have been nc state several years so that didn't agree and made us wear a darker color. I could be wrong on both accounts though.

Don’t remember any of that bitching

The unfortunate reality of a Thursday night game during an awful season. I couldn’t make it because of work, and I still wish I was there.
