Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I know teams will often use older equipment for practices, but I can recall our first look of GT's newer gold helmet shell from last year was on the practice field...as they were all wearing them during early fall practices.I navigated into this photo gallery, where it appears they are practicing in the older shell. Maybe it is the lighting, but I swear they are. Just wondering if there was any word of the Jackets making a change agian? Their uniforms last year were pretty awful!Take a look. This may graveyard real fast, but I found it curious.http://projects.ajc.com/gallery/view/sport...opens-practice/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yeah last years shade of gold was... painful.why would they wear the older shell though?they wore brand new shells to practice last year. I have not heard any word of new helmets, or uniforms for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamblinGamblinTiger Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 There was a rumor they were 'tweaking' the shade of gold on the jerseys, so I wouldn't be surprised if the helmet shade got altered slightly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamblinGamblinTiger Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 It appears they went back to the old shade of gold (pre2008 color) based off this video ...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Not only that, but they changed the stripe from the halfdown point to just a solid vertical stripe all the way down!I think I actually like these!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the pants dont look like brown mustard bottles...I'm going to fan photo day tomorrow, so I'll try to get some pics with my phone (it has a pretty good camera), but I don't think that they'll be wearing their helmets.

Billy B Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I was one of the few that liked their uniforms last year, a lot. I liked the gold they used, and I think the halfway down stripe matched well with the jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEWJ Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I like it.That old mustard color wasn't doing it for me.Here's a comparison [new one on top left, last years on the bottom, and the year before's on the top right.] | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgnmrwrw Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 That old mustard color wasn't doing it for me.I couldn't agree more. That new "gold" is just plain... well, ugly. I usually cringe at using vague terms like that, but "ugly" is the only word that comes to mind. Their previous gold looks amazing by comparison.

oddball Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Flat sliver/grey and flat gold just look bad. Give me the shiny pants back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbr218 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Sorry guys, I went to the Fan Fest thing, but I couldn't get into the stadium. The line was like 500 people long, and none of us wanted to wait to get in. I'm sure pics will be up on Ramblinwreck.com tonight. But, here's a crappy pic of my dad and I decked out in our colors in front of my dorm: "Why would anybody ever eat anything besides breakfast food?"-Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler), Parks and Recreation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
