Tech is breaking out new black adidas “Ghost Collection” uniforms. Why does EVERY TEAM HAVE TO WEAR BLACK JERSEYS AND PANTS? What’s so special about wearing the same thing as every other team? I am an old fogey, but I just don’t get it. Like every other team who wears all black these days, I’m sure GT will wear long black sock/tights and black shoes as well. Good for them.
At least the look is traditional. The same tradition GT sleeve stripes and “block” numbers. So that’s a plus. Hate blacvk pants but at least they have the stripes. Hate plain “practice” pants without stripes. Or a couple of odd stripes that don’t go anywhere. And collars the same color as the jerseys - finally. What a concept!
Gold helmet looks good with the stripes, similar to the helmets the Jackets wore back in the early 70’s when Eddie McAshan was the QB. I don’t even mind the black helmet logo outlined in white, but hopefully it is a one time deal. Not a fan of the black nose bumper, but look forward to seeing it on the field. Interesting number font. Not a true block number, but kind of the current GT numbers with a block twist.
What was interesting about those Black Watch teams in the 80’s was that certain defenders wore special helmets, with black stripes and a black, unlined GT logo replacing the regular white GT. The rest of the team wore regular helmets.
Fun fact: Georgia Tech was the first team to wear TV numbers on their jersey sleeves/shoulders, in 1955. Learned this today.
Why wear a special uniform like this against Bowling Green? Why wear a glow in the dark uni for a 3:30 game? Why not save it for Halloween, or against a tougher ACC opponent? Seems like a waste, though perhaps a good idea to not wear them in a possible loss. Dabo usually breaks out the all purple unis in late November against a non-conference opponent, just to appease the players and fans (it’s also Clemson’s annual salute to the military game). When UGA wears an odd uni (which is rare), its often against a non conference opponent.
It's the football world we live in. Tune in early Sunday to watch the Jaguars play the Falcons. Jags in head to toe black, and the Falcons in all white. Real creative and colorful.
UGA also announced what uniforms they’ll wear at Auburn: the same white jerseys, silver britches, and red helmets they always wear on the road. A great look.
Thursday: worked until 6:15. Black beans and rice for supper. Not much else to report. Went to bed early but had trouble sleeping. Worried about work. Up early to lift weights.
At work this morning we had breakfast burritos from Jason’s Deli. Pizza for lunch. Maddios. Good stuff.
