Bearcat Bob 491 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is wrong with the traditional uniform? Exactly! VT's uniform from the late 90s was classic and looked reasonably good. This...just not in the same ballpark.

Ryan4VT 4,546 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,546 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I just can't wait until they sell replicas. I'll drop $200 if that's what it takes to get one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT 4,546 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,546 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I don't know they may have. They usually do once every season. Exactly. And that will be a big stage. Recruits like new jerseys and things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 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.

1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Also, Im not a big fan of the Vols smokey gray unis and I am no fan of these either but I am more of a traditionalist also. Bearcat Bob and HurricaneWarning 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat Bob 491 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 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? Canes00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the while Nike laughs all the way to the bank! BTW: When did UT switch from Adidas? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
