Georgia Tech football, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and adidas unveiled an alternate “Cape Day” uniform that will be worn by Georgia Tech when it hosts North Carolina on Oct. 5 at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
Georgia Tech and Children’s are flipping the script on the traditional superhero narrative with the unveiling of the Yellow Jackets’ newest football uniform, which is part of adidas’ 2019 Strategy Uniform series. Throughout the world, children look up to athletes as heroes – but with this uniform, the Jackets honor the true heroes in the Atlanta community, kids that are battling illnesses and injuries at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Cape Day was first introduced by Children’s in 2014.
The onyx gray uniform, a first for Georgia Tech, features sleek hexagon patterns with metallic Tech gold accents. Adorned on the back of the uniform is a crest paying homage to Cape Day, an annual tradition in the Atlanta community that honors the superhero kids that fight every day at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The jersey features a body-mapping design, using a ribbed, knit pattern on the chest and shoulder pads to produce a refined fit, while knit engineered mesh channels feature Climacool® technology to provide enhanced breathability and cooling zones.
