2016-2017 Athletic Rebranding Unveiled

Announcement from Hokiesports

There was an event held last night on campus where a few of the uniforms were unveiled for a select group. Those images can be seen below as captured on Twitter. The main takeaway is that we have an official don't and our colors have been officially standardized to the palette that Nike has been using for the better part of 3 decades. That is, the bright orange is now officially our color.

Hope you weren't hyped for something else. Also, looks like the tricolor helmets are here to stay with the maroon lids picking up the Russell Athletic Bowl stripes. Also from the official announcement it appears the chrome orange lids now have a white logo and will be entering our standard rotation, possibly as our standard home helmets.

Also have to say, not a fan of the orange numbers on Maroon Uniforms. They are difficult to read from a distance and rarely translate well over broadcasts.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
β€œI served in the United States Navy"
