This jersey uses black and grey as a throwback to the original color scheme of VT and well as a nod to the Corps of Cadets. This jersey was created to pay tribute to the "traditional" jersey. I love it.

I know it is the current trend in college sports to come up with a "unique" jersey/gear but I find it annoying.  What is wrong with the traditional uniform?   

I agree 100%....I don't like these no more than I liked the black ones they wore against Boise State in DC one year....but it's what the kids are into these days so they run with it. Use your school colors not something like this. But that's just me

These were our school colors. Black and Grey WERE Virginia Tech for many years. Ana there is nothing more recognizable at VT than Hokie Stone. So you're giving a throwback to the 1890's with the color scheme. You're paying tribute to the Cadets by wearing these colors. And you're showing off one of the most recognizable symbols of VT in the Hokie Stone.

 

Even GMan loves these.....that should tell you something. He's the biggest critic of those black jerseys I've ever seen.

I know the story behind the uniforms I just don't like them....my opinion only

 

But they are in no way as bad as those ridiculous black ones they wore against Boise State that year

 

And I am honestly more worried about if VT can find a QB than the uniforms at this point

$200 for a replica? WOW and I don't mean this jersey I mean any jersey

That is how much I love this jersey. Easily my favorite VT ever.

 

If it takes $200, then that's what I'll pay. I would hope it won't be though.

Tennessee just announced they are going with the traditional jerseys. Thank you Dave Hart!

That's probably ONLY because VT is wearing grey. If we weren't, I'd put substantial money that they would wear those smoke grey ones.

Im sure it was a collaborative deal with Nike by both schools on what they are doing.  Tennessee is listed as the home team I do believe so they truly would be able to choose what uniform they want to wear first if that was the case and obviously had already selected to not use the smokey gray uniform.

Rest easy...VT will only wear those jerseys one time!  After UT puts a spanking on them in Bristol, they will blame the jerseys and banish those gawd-awful things to the boiler room closet deep in the bowels of VPI! 

 

All the while Nike laughs all the way to the bank! 

 

BTW:  When did UT switch from Adidas?

Prior to the start of last season.

95% of the time, VT only wears the one-off jerseys once. The only exception was the all-white Nike Pro Combat ones in 2010 I believe. They wore them against Maryland and UVA.

You are probably correct in this statement...about the same as when the Wahoos travel to Oregon....both will probably be beatings
