Game 1 Uniform

Back in the days of yore, my shoulder pads wouldn't fit through a doorway cause they were so big and wide. I had big ass knee pads on my uniform pants. Nowadays, tiny shoulder pads and shorts.

Pet peeve of mine is all the uni pics without pads in the pants. It looks ridiculous.

I’m not seeing where it’s stated a new gold was selected.

They did not in fact select a different gold shade, it's still Pantone4515, but this was in the description:

"This refresh of Tech’s visual brand involved reviewing the color palettes, fonts, logos, graphics, and other uniquely Tech visual symbols to ensure continuous improvement and alignment with what’s at the heart of our new strategic plan."

Also, I do believe Adidas found a better match to that than in previous years because the pants do look to be the right color now when they've looked a little off the past couple years.
 
Am I the only one who read the third @ in the original tweet as @BadAssFootball?
 
The academic brand is finally aligned with the athletic brand.

Also this is the same gold we've worn the past three years so if you think it's different it's probably lighting. If there was an update to the pants the blue GT would be gone.

Pretty huge fail if they're doing a white out and not doing white out uniforms. Dumb. All white with gold numerals is straight fire.

This seems like kind of a big deal to me. Does this signal The Hill is getting on board with utilizing athletics to grow the brand?

I beg to differ. That will probably never go away.

And side note. Contrary to popular belief, Penn State doesn't wear all white unis for their whiteout game.

Who cares about Penn State?

When they redid branding, one of the better decisions they made was to prohibit any use of the GT logo that did not have white or gold infill. Unfortunately it was too late for the unis that debuted in 2018 and that we still use today. Definitely expect it to be gone when we finally get a new uniform.

Interestingly enough, that prohibition of a blue GT was reinforced with the new Institute branding guidelines. Positive stuff.

Didn't say I cared about Penn State, but they are the "grand-daddy" of white-outs and it has nothing to do with team uniform. It's all about the fans wearing white to support the team. I agree I like when the team wears all white also, and that all white with gold numbers is my favorite uni combo, just saying the uniform combo doesn't have anything to do with white out.
 
Also, even though this game is designated as the whiteout, I feel certain our players probably voted to wear that W/W/W with gold numbers combo for a bigger game.

If we finally got it right then thank the lord: I was starting to believe it wasn’t possible. Now to see if it looks good on tv…

I don't know if you're being disingenuous or not. There is a disclaimer and caveat associated with that particular navy logo right underneath that severely restricts its use for publication purposes, that white and gold versions do not have.

Just messing.....I was just frankly surprised to see the all blue version with the others in an "acceptable logo colors" section. I think it should have been separated from the others as a "special case." I know it had restrictions listed but when I saw it as the 2nd logo in a list I was taken aback.
