With just a few recent exceptions, Tech and Georgia wear the same uniform every time they meet. Tech wears white jerseys and gold pants at home and on the road. Georgia wears red jerseys and silver britches at home, and they’re happy to wear them on the road if needed.
With the record of the rivalry game so one-sided in recent years, I wondered if the uni-tweaks recently pulled by Tech has made a difference. Last year the Jackets wore their honeycomb helmets in Athens – and won. Unlike UGA, Tech can wear white pants, navy or black jerseys. I’m looking back 40 years to my freshman year at Tech.
In the past 40 years Georgia has worn red jerseys and Tech white jerseys and gold pants a total of 30 times. Drop shadow numbers and various fonts have come and gone, mostly by Tech. Georgia has won 28 of the 40 games. The Jackets wore white over gold in eight of their 12 wins – including seven at home.
Tech has won three of the past four times they wore white pants (all on the road). Georgia has won 4 of the past 5 times they wore white jerseys. So Tech should wear white jerseys and pants. Bet they won’t.
