The black shirts have been around since last fall. Have one in my closet.
I don't know, it kind of makes me nervous. I've heard once you go black you never go back.
Seriously, though, I liked UGA's black unis (what, me and Guiss disagreeing on a topic?!?!), but a) they already had black as a prominent accent color and b) I just can't see it working with out color schemes.
Now, if you really want an AWFUL "black out," look no further than the mismatch blackish on forest greenish disaster Florida State put together a few years ago. Ain't that right, grassynolehitman?
Also, I should have known without even looking that when this thread had gone to 3 pages it had devolved into a uniform thread. On the other hand, at least it didn't devolve into a "oh my gosh, I hope we can keep Dykes at Tech" thread.
Frankly, I don't care what color they wear on the sideline, but for now, and forever more, the uniforms should be red, white, and blue...PERIOD! When the school decides to change our colors to black and red, black and silver, black and white, black and blue, or black and whatever, then we can wear black in some fashion.
Heck, white shoes even look a lot better with our uniforms than do black ones. Although I kind of wonder what some red or blue ones might look like with our uni's. :icon_wink:
Now that you got me started, I hope that they do not tinker with the uniforms either. You can remove the helmet stripe, not a problem. Go to all white or all blues uniforms on occasion. Fine. Just do not mess with the basic design. As about 98% of the folks on here will agree, we have the best looking uniforms in the country. Don't mess with perfection....

I am actually wearing the black polo today. I like the black shirt because it makes the red and blue logo really pop. I also wore a black hat this year for the same reason (i get a new hat every year and wear it exclusively and then retire it after the year).
And, I also like the looks of the photoshopped black helmet, BUT I don't think black uniforms would be a good idea. It's been done. I prefer the redout look for special occasions.
Stay with our Colors, you start chipping away at tradition and soon you have none.
It's a black polo shirt. They've had them all year. I don't think anybody has mentioned a change in uniform colors or helmet colors.
Black and white are not colors anyway.

Do y'all like the black baseball uni's? (do they still where those? I've been gone for a LONG time.)

Jordan Mills on choosing Tech:
“It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”
I don't like the black baseball unis
I have no problem with black polos for equipment personnel and other NON COACHING personnel on the Tech sideline -
The only thing black that our players should be wearing are the shoes - love me some black cleats....
