Unis for Pitt Game

[Vespid]

I'm pretty sure the home team gets first choice (typically other schools choose to wear a color). We have to ask the visiting team to allow us to wear white for some reason.

Historically, the "home" jersey was the schools primary dark color, and the visitor wore a lighter color, or white, for the contrast. GT always presented a little snag to this rule, because one of our primary colors was white. George O'leary liked to wear white (as did Dodd) as much as possible, especially early in the season. (this was prior to "climatec" and "coolmax" synthetic fabrics we have today. Jerseys had a lot more cotton in them then) Anyway, because of rule, the home team had to request from the visitor to allow them to wear white as the home team. Usually, visitors would comply because they got to wear their "home" jerseys on the road. There was a rule change around 2009 IIRC to allow more flexibility, but if the teams can't come to an agreement on uniform color at a given contest, then the visiting team basically has veto power to wear white.

To summarize, the home team can decide to wear a colored jersey with no issues - that’s the expectation and the default. If the home team wants to wear white (us and LSU are notable examples), the visitor can veto that choice (Wake has done it a couple of times).

Most likely for this weewe just decided to wear blue (meh) and that was the end of it.

Blue Jerseys again!

I'm calling it right now, before the CGC Era ends we will wear Blue Hats with Gold Facemasks and two-Color GT in White & Gold on the Side.

We'll pair that headgear with our All-White Unis with our Blue Shoes.

All of us old people need to calm down and let the youngsters have their fun.

I still wanna see how the 'Croots would react to Blue Hats.
