$3 million a year from Adidas

[FullMetalBuzz]

Good lord. Lets be real here. This contract is peanuts to yearly cash. And the retainer fee milestones really are incredibly rare at tech.

Last back to back 9 wins? 08 to 09. So a decade ago. And before that i couldnt even tell you.

Back to back acc title games. Lets see. Nope. Never been done.

National title....we know 1990 but this is even harder today imo at tech

Why No playoff appearance?

I would love to hit these milestones but jeez. Addidas knew what they were doing.

In what world do you see us getting to the playoffs without winning the ACC championship first?

By the way, the last time we had back-to-back 9 win seasons before 08-09 was 55-56. O'Leary had a 10-8-9 streak and Johnson has the 11-3-9 streak, so I think it's a reasonable goal that would show program improvement.

You guys know how much it costs to make jerseys in the right shade of gold???

Gold can be drawn pretty thin.

Honeycomb is here to stay...that set of white helmets cost ~60k and the team loves wearing them. Jerseys may not incorporate the pattern, but both helmets will still match.

Well that sux

...TStan?

So if the helmets are going to stay, I guess that means we know our color of gold.

It sucks that the team loves wearing them?

oops, all in gear:

Well at least Tech can use the extra 200 K to continue to pay off existing salary obligation from firings!

I agree. Attention to detail. Those helmets could be put in an auction to raise money and never worn again

Hard to believe that players really like the honeycomb look.

Im calling BS! Honeycomb helmets need thrown in the trash with the rest of the Russell inspired garbage.

Our brand? Who in the hell buys into the GT brand anyway? You improve your brand by winning and beating your instate rival 80% of the time.

This is all irrelevant unless they bring the right shade of gold

Not Adidas, but is this the correct shade of gold?

I'm praying we go back to our Gold jerseys

I buy into our brand. Our brand should be a 4 time National Champion program with legendary coaches at the oldest on-campus stadium in Div 1.

Just because we haven’t been a great on field team in the recent past doesn’t change any of that.

To each their own, but I wouldn't mind a more consistent return to the deep navy jerseys.
I understand we've played around with them in alternate forms in the past, but I just love the deep blue/gold pants combo.

Going from $950k (Russell in 2017) to $200k (Adidas in 2018) is a net loss of $750k.

The promise of a lot of name brand gear to recruits may help with recruiting.


Looking on the bright side.
