Georgia men’s basketball will host in-state rival Georgia Tech Wednesday in a battle of undefeated teams at Stegeman Coliseum.
While neither side is ranked, it is still a big-time game with bragging rights and the ability to gain momentum on the line.
We cannot confirm anything, but based off a couple factors, it looks like the Dawgs will be rocking their beloved throwback jerseys against the Yellow Jackets when they take the court Wednesday.
Our evidence?
- The first 1,250 students through the doors receive a throwback Dominique Wilkins ‘shersey’ per GeorgiaDogs.com.

- The Dawgs broke out the newly updated throwback threads a few times last season, while playing at home.
- The jerseys look like they will be back, based off 2020 prospects taking recruiting visit pictures in them.

Of course, nothing here is official, but we have a good feeling Georgia comes out donning the Wilkins-era threads.
If we’re right, remember who called it from the beginning. If we’re wrong, well, we never said anything was official.
Regardless of the uniform, it’s always fun to Hate Tech and beat up on little brother. Make sure to come out to Stegeman Coliseum tonight and cheer on the Dawgs! If you cannot make the game, it will be televised on SEC Network + and broadcast on 680 The Fan.
Go Dawgs!
