Brave-Bird 08 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I heard some jabber amongst some people at my local rec center the other day that local college, Chattahoochee Tech, got their club football pants from Georgia Tech.I was like...eh...yeah right. But today I saw a picture and it rose my brows. It's a very very small school with a brand new club football program. the jerseys and helmets are low grade...the school colors are blue and gold (gold as in iowa gold, not ga tech gold)but then you have this...compare it to thisnow, I literally cannot find any photos, so I cant tell if the ChatTech pants are Russell or not, but nevertheless I found this intruiging enough to post here. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also growing suspicious the practice jerseys were donated and had wordmarks addedso far the blue and white practice jerseys Tech has had look similar to the ChatTech ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerws Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 BB, Its actually pretty normal MO for schools and pro teams to do this. That way good uniforms are still getting used and the team doesn't have tons of storage taken up with old used jerseys that they never have any intention of using. Now if only they'd keep one or two from each season so that if they had a throwback game, they could match them up correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearhead Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Back in the 1950s my uncle coached football at Western Star Boys Ranch in Texas. All their equipment was donated from colleges and high schools across the state because they didn't have the budget to buy the stuff. In the summer he would spend a week or so traveling around Texas and Oklahoma collecting pads, helmets, shoes, etc. He also used the time to tell college coaches about good prospects he had at WSBR and wrangle jobs and scholarships for others.

roxfan00 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I believe I read somewhere that the Denver Broncos original 1960 uniforms were hand me downs from a semi-pro football team, the Tucson Rattlers.

prospect13 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 if memory serves correctly, Northwestern used to donate football equipment to Ashland College (Ohio, now University) back in the day. Until Ashland changed to purple and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I believe I read somewhere that the Denver Broncos original 1960 uniforms were hand me downs from a semi-pro football team, the Tucson Rattlers.Actually they came from a defunct college bowl game called the Copper Bowl. Same idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discogod Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Back when I was in high school the football (soccer) team's kit was donated by the local team, Kidderminster Harriers. Probably helped that our school colours and the kit were the same, and that several teachers were on the board of directors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
