GT Uniform Proposal

Georgia Tech’s uniforms aren’t quite as bad this season, and they did wear nice throwbacks against Virginia Tech. They did break out last season’s bumblebee unis for one road game. I realize  I am an old fogey who’s not going to get the Jackets to join more successful programs in wearing traditional uniforms (Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Texas, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, FSU, Tennessee, Georgia, Stanford, Iowa State, UCLA, USC, Penn State, etc.).

Instead some doodles led to the list below. It wouldn’t be too hard for Tech to have just a few sets of uniforms and can be mixed and matched to the point where they would rarely have to wear the same uniform – keeping a traditional look for older fans while still appealing to the 17 year old recruits with new and different looks.
