sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Often times, localities, universities, companies and even high schools will have a preferred company for supplying specific items. That is usually found in the technical specifications of a project and will often be slightly different than what you see in renderings. Plus, its an architects job to make it look pretty. It's an engineers job to make it work. JPIUBMot, Williamnus and Francisjen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,552 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Whit has said in a few interviews that VT will have a brand reboot next year. This seems to fall into that category, with a new font to go on everything as we reboot the athletics dept.

Ryan4VT 4,552 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 http://www.hokiesports.com/brand/ Virginia Tech released the new brand identity today. Looks AMAZING!! I love that all the teams will use the same fonts and colors as opposed to what it had become. Francisjen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacker 82 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I think from a Tweet I saw from Babcock was that there was concern about the amount of creep there had been in logos, designs and fonts. This brings things back to a single unified look. He did not that they had licensed the old style VT, and mentioned that the original colors were black and gray. He could be hinting at a throwback look. Francisjen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that it will all be central now and all of our teams will look the same. I think we see the throwback jersey at Bristol, IMO. They are defiantly using black and grey as the "secondary palate" as the article said. Intersted to see what the do there.

VT will probably have to go with a white throwback if they do that at Bristol. I believe Tennessee is listed as the home team and it wouldnt surprise me to see TN wear their smokey grays or possible some other concept that I will probably hate.

I think both teams will be in home colors for this one. redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Its possible but if TN elects (Nike chooses) the anthracite gray that will probably not lead to a maroon or black VT jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I doubt it is either. I wouldnt be surprised to see both teams in new jersey designs for this team although I hope not. I prefer the traditional gear myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
