Do we blame the curse of the blue uniforms or historic transformation if we lose?
Got a lot of Tech fans that love talking about losing before the games are played. I’m sure there’s a scientific term for that, but I’ll just say you have a loser mentality.

Oh really? You might want to give the front office a call and let them know:

I give not one f**k about the "front office" that has given us this debacle of a football program. Every one of them can go straight to hell - right behind Georgia - AFAIAC. And if you buy into that "we added blue" crap, you can go straight to hell with them. If you're going to change the colors after a zillion years, just switch to red and black like every other sports team in the state, and be done with it. As for me . . . it will ALWAYS be "Up with the White and Gold." Anyone who doesn't like that can kiss 100 percent of my ass. Now please feel free to poo away!!!

The folks that constantly melt about the blue is the weirdest thing ever. FWIW, I love the white and gold and I love the tradition. Guess what 99% of everybody else out there thinks GT's colors are? Blue and gold or black and gold. And I can promise you that has absolutely nothing to do with this staff. It's always been that way.

Hey dude, we no longer have our Cheerleaders in only white & gold ( ya know the dress her in white & gold .... to cheer the brave & bold)

It was either the KSU Game or the Clemson Game and our Women Cheerleaders were wearing Blue Skirts and White Tops, maybe someone has Pics from those 2 Games

If Carolina weren't wearing all White I would like to see us in White - Blue - Blue, with the Gold ACCENTS and Trim I think that would be a Good look that the 'Croots like

BTW, though non scientific, every time we host Recruits and they take Pics in Uniform they almost NEVER CHOOSE Gold-White- Gold that so many opine is the "real GT Look"

It seems the 'Croots don't associate this look with GT FB, or they do and always choose something with Blue in it to send a message that Gold-White-Gold just isn't getting it done

I admit that I love the Tar Heels all Whites with the argyle Accents designed by Alexander Julian (sp?)

That is a sharp look

Maybe one day we can wear all white with Blue Helmets and Blue Adidas shoes with gold trim everywhere to make it look good

Before Collins leaves GT , we're gonna wear Blue Hats, I bet Players and 'Croots ask about Blue Helmets with a Gold GT & white trim on the GT , ALL THE TIME

I guess it's time we got off your lawn?

Great idea let's stop wearing the uni's that are the favorites of our players and recruits. That'll show them.
If these recuits love blue so much, they should go to Michigan. I'd rather see Tech go 0-12 every single year with Georgia Tech student athletes wearing my actual school colors than go 7-5 with a bunch of semi-pro fake students and future beer truck drivers wearing red and black. Obviously, you would prefer the latter. DSFDF.

No, that has NOT ALWAYS BEEN THAT WAY. From the very beginnings of Tech football, we were the White and Gold, and everybody who knew a thing about college football knew that. We didn't actually start wearing white and gold uniforms until the mid-30s, if I remember correctly, but once we did, it was always white jerseys and gold pants. Both Alexander and Dodd wore blue jerseys for some away games, but blue was never associated with the Tech colors until the 70s when the NCAA changed the rules about home teams choosing their colors, and we were forced to wear dark jerseys for some games at home. Unbelievably, Homer Rice demanded that they be blue, and not gold, and it's been downhill for the White and Gold lovers ever since. TStan made it, or allowed it to be, what it is now, and as far as I am concerned, it is pure crap. I am totally on board with 1982Jacket !!!

Well Georgia Tech student athletes wearing blue is still far and away different than "a bunch of semi-pro fake students and future beer truck drivers wearing red and black." But if you'd still rather those Georgia Tech students wearing blue go 0-12 every year then you have some serious "me" issues.

Why does wearing a good looking Uni like the one we wore the last Time we won a MNC make them semi-pro fake students?

We won our most recent Title in Blue
