disclaimer: yadda yadda, info worth what you paid for it, yadda yadda

I don't know what the coaching staff or administrators have to say about the issue (or those all-powerful alumni) but I do know that the results are in from the players in regards to what we're wearing.

first of all the players nixed the "new" Russell designs in favor of the traditional ones we've been wearing. I believe the material may be new, though. That being said here is what I have gathered:

-The yellow/green color we've been wearing over the past 6 years has been nixed and replaced with "OLD GOLD" (yes, the color of the throwback uni's we wore).
-Looks like we're wearing white at home and white on the road this year with the pants being the "old gold". (awesome, imo, because gold pants/white jerseys look amazing to me)
-Blue jerseys and "OLD GOLD" jerseys will be kept for special occasions.
-Also will have blue pants just for the sake of having them if we want to do something crazy.
-don't know if we want black or white cleats

We're having an issue deciding on what helmets to have. Like I said we're going with the "OLD GOLD" color so the traditional gold helmet won't exactly go with that. And if we're wearing white jerseys at home, a white helmet would look weird. A Blue helmet is not out of the question, at least with the gold pants/white jersey combo.

btw- got a look at the 2008 schedule. We've got a huge Thursday night game, any guesses?

:laugher: You mean I have to do all of the work and fill in the dates. :laugher:
 
:laugher: I knew the games, I was hoping for the dates. :laugher:
I don't know the dates but what AFR posted is our schedule in order from start to finish.
 
Two important divisional match-ups right off the bat. Not sure how I feel about that.
 
Thanks Ish and AFR.

This should help with the planning.
 
hmmm a current academic advisor and former GT player told me last night the uniforms were going to be blue tops white bottoms for home....

not saying he is right and u aren't, but that is what I was told.

on a different occasion, was told by someone else we are working on a throwback night again

no one mentioned we were moving all our uniforms to the old gold color (pants) as u mention that is new and personally not sure what I think b/c as you state it removes our classic helmet from matching.

From what I understand the white pants/blue tops are going to be worn for special games --like UGA or Clemson

same thing for the throwback

I've been wrong before, but I'm pretty sure were going with white jerseys as our main uniform for both home and away when we're not dusting off the blue and throwbacks.

like i said, that is in direct contradiction from what I was told. Give me 24 hours and I will clarify this 100%

if what you say is true, i would rather the white tops and gold pants be the same road uni we have been wearing as our helmets look good with that.

Save the throwback for special occasions (mustard tops, white pants white helmets)

Also, this year, we wouldn't be able to wear the blue tops vs UGA, Clemson or VT...they are away games. So then the earliest we would see them is in 09.
 
i think this actually perfectly aligns with the color committee's findings.

our colors are old gold and white, and navy blue to be used mainly as an accent color or third color

so, basically old gold and white, maybe with blue striping? i have no clue; and then blue every once in a while along with the throwback every once in a while. i like this because it highlights the history of our program from our championship eras, which includes 90 and the blue jerseys.

Go Jackets!!!
 
The guy I've been talking to is directly involved in GT equipment issues, and I have no reason to not believe him. Is he mistaken? Possibly, but I trust him.

never said u were wrong, just said I was told something different and again, he isn't an equipment guy. But I will double check with him and another person too....some of what you said i did hear (like blue helmets which I think is dumb)....so what you do say does ring with validity.
 
Am I correct in thinking that in order for us to wear white jerseys at home we need to get prior approval from each road team coming in here before the season starts?

yes u are correct. And this was a sticking point with Rad when I talked to him. Which is why when I was told our homes would be blue it made sense....But Ish could be right and they could be going through that effort (which isn't huge...but they also have to get NCAA permission)
 
The "predicted" schedule is missing a bye week. This season has 14 Saturdays to play 12 games.
 
Is anyone else just completely happy with all of the developments in the past week?

With the recruiting class already talking smack to UGA (which I for one love), not to mention the fact that they all seem to fit PJ's previous styling well, talking to some of the players about how hardassed the coaches have been so far, talking to players about the spring game, and hearing this good news about a return to tradition mixed with a new statement makes me EXTREMELY excited about next season.
