After 25 seasons, Georgia Tech officially parted ways with Russell Athletic on Sunday. The Yellow Jackets will sport Adidas uniforms, apparel and footwear for the next six years and will debut their new gear this upcoming season.
Many fans were counting down the days until the deal with Russell Athletic expired and took to Twitter to celebrate the transition into a new era for Tech athletics.

Complaining about having Russell Athletic then complaining about changes made when re-branding to Adidas is probably the most "Georgia Tech fan" thing I've heard in a while.
