Uniform Sexiness vs. Success

[EastboundJacket]

One thing I’ve noticed about myself is that, if I don’t like a uniform we wear, but we win in it, I then love that uniform. For example, I wasn’t a fan of the blue pants when we walked out in them on Saturday... but now that we won, I’m automatically a fan of that look.

One other that comes to mind... That puke yellow color from ‘08 brings back some awfully fond memories. Anyone else feel this way? Post the ugly uniform you love.

I generally don’t remember what we wore for most games. Definitely don’t have any lingering fondness for Russell’s abominations under CPJ

I truly believe our days of horrendous uniforms are over now with Adidas.

As a true Tech fan I prefer to fight, win, drink, and get naked - at which point the uniform no longer matters.

 

[Nanajoth]

Just don't bring the chicken wire back.

Is the reveal today?

 

[JoeCakeEater]

Our current uniforms are great. The combinations and subtle tweaks week to week are great. I don’t believe in uniform curses and all that trash.

It is downright criminal that we only wore those mustard throwbacks That R gave us one freaking time.

Then sometimes uniform combos are so bad they make you forget good things entirely, like the fact that we actually played in the ACC championship that year, albeit due to Miami and UNC shenanigans...“May our children forgive us.” - President Thomas J. Whitmore

Look like tank tops over tshirts, the Patrick Ewing look

@GT flunkout usually cries himself to sleep after we wear any blue. Then he writes about it in his journal in the morning.

I recall liking the honeycomb uniforms at the time but man they did not age well (or were horrendous to begin with).

The only Russell uniforms I liked were the throwback ones, but all of them were too tight in the sleeves. I imagine it would be hard to block with your uniform pulling on your arms.

Need an all blue uniform. Jersey, helmet, and pants. “Blue Out BDS”

I'll say this, my problem with them has less to do with the pattern and more to do with the stripe and GT looking yellow and not matching the uni's.

And to think someone actually got paid to design that öööö

 

[GT flunkout]

We beat FSU in blue pants. Still ööööing ugly and still not ööööing Georgia Tech. Get rid of blue numbers..

Still leaves two acceptable blue combos for once a year, GBW and WBW.

So many ways to switch it up without getting stupid - GWG, GWW, WGW, WWW, WWG.

And for god sakes would somebody in our derp sports information department give ESPN the right ööööing logos and graphics packages that are white and gold.

There's my uniform rant for this week. Let the big cries fall. Have a great day.

I would say the question should be posed as Uniform sexiness as a function of success. US(Success) = some function which would take into account win or loss, implications, margin of victory or defeat, opponent, etc. and would then output a retrospective sexiness value. We could then poll fans to rate uniform combo and compare to the US value to see if there is indeed a correlation. Additionally, propose hypotheticals to check extremes. For instance, a defeat of the dwags to propel us into a national championship wearing pink leotards.
