If you happen to catch Saturday’s ACC contest between Georgia Tech and North Carolina, chances are you might do a bit of a double take at the Yellow Jackets’ new uniforms for the game.
Have no fear though, the idea behind the look is a nod to a very worthy cause. Per the school, the team is breaking out a new ‘Onyx Gray’ uniform from adidas against the Tar Heels as a way to celebrate Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s annual Cape Day.

The Cape Day concept is designed to honor some real life superheroes: children battling illnesses and injuries at the Atlanta area hospital. The school has already had a number of events to celebrate the day and will cap things off on Saturday in their ACC home opener.

Pretty slick look and an even better cause, well done Yellow Jackets.
