The white T was rare because Tech decided to go primarily blue 2 or 3 decades or so ago making the red background rare. The white state on a blue background was more common because of all the blue. Check out the sides of the seats at the TAC. Same for our baseball caps until recently. And merchandise at the bookstore. White T on red background and white state on blue background. Those were official Tech logos until a few years ago.
I wasn't here then to make complaints. My freshman year was 2013, and we used the superior red T.
Whenever I see a white T (or a white state for that matter), I see it as old Tech. Old, occasionally decent, usually bad WAC Tech. It just looks outdated and bad, and represents where we used to be. We've moved on.
I can see the red T perfectly fine on red helmets (which I'm glad we don't wear with blue jerseys any more; not a good look). Having the T be white just doesn't make any sense. That's not who we are. I know we wore it for years, but just like we've upgraded our facilities and our team, we've upgraded our logo, too.
If there comes a time we decide to wear a throwback uniform on a one-time basis, I could live with the white T for one game. But other than that, the white T needs to stay in the history books where it belongs.
I know this is an unpopular opinion, and I get that a lot of you guys who have been around Tech a lot longer than I have got used to it being like that, but as someone with fresh eyes, our look today is vastly improved from where it used to be.
And both are ugly. Just use the main one.
