You Pick It, We Wear It...

I thought last year's throwbacks were pretty solid too. Wouldn't mind having either as our full time unis.

Imagine if we did this for one of our football games. It would actually go over really well, imo.

Nice marketing by the baseball guys.

I think everyone would select the throwback (Calvin 06' uni).

I love these and just like you I thought that everyone loved these. After talking to a lot of non message board
Tech fans. I have found out that a god amount of them don't like the color of gold.

I fear starting a "wrong shade of gold" thread, but it's kinda off.

Personally i LOVE the MUSTARD (aka OldGold). even the one mustard jersey we had one year with CPJ.

reasons:
1. instantly recognizable instead of the plethora of vegas golds with wake, central florida, notre dame, etc etc etc
2. nice and ugly. football is not pretty. an ugly uniform, imo, is more intimidating and gives the team a "marauder" mentality. "im not very pretty, very nice, but i'm gonna destroy YOU"
3. mustard just tastes great. put it on tigers, on puppies, served on wolves and even on castrated turkeys. lets get hunted by the EPA for serving Mustrated Ibis on Mountain Goat
 
The thing i, can what we wear now eve be considered "Gold"? Its more like an extremely pale yellow.
 
Don't let Wreck Em pick the uniforms otherwise we may come out looking more confused than we already are.

As long as Wreck Em keeps making kick ass videos, he could have some leeway if uni decisions were ever his call.

But no all gold look from head to toe. Gold helmets, gold jerseys, white pants would do, as well as the white helmet/gold jersey throwbacks (man, those really looked good, didn't they).
