## Caption

This was Georgia Tech @ Notre Dame in 1997 after ndfootball had just finished renovating their stadium and was called “The Rededication Game.” It was my first time in South Bend and I slept in the visiting team locker room that night.  This was the first time that the first team I’d signed to wear UA, played a full season in the UA advantage - and that was georgiatechfb 

So today marks a full circle moment indeed as am thrilled to officially welcome gtathletics to the underarmour family! Very serendipitous as it happens to be UA’s 30th Birthday today 🎂👊🤝

Oh…and as for my “look”…I was 23 and trying to be taken seriously as a business.  I needed to carry and dress myself as a professional.  So I targeted the look of Craig T Nelson from the television show “Coach”. 😉

Which is why whenever you see a pic from UA in the 90’s - pleated slacks and a polo shirt with UA over the heart ❤️became our official uniform for a chapter…. #teamua #sqUAd 13pacificwaves #ryanwood #billmcdermond
