The combo deal of Hokie Effect T-shirts sold through the SGA have been a staple of our fan base every year. For about $10, with all proceeds going back to the student body, they are a great option in replacing the tattered and over-worn dregs that fill our dresser drawers. I am no longer a student but remember my favorite "effect" design from 2004 being the "Every Play is Key". Sound familiar?
I bring this up not because I have anything to gain by advertising for the SGA. Rather, seeing as how student and alumni alike here often show a great sense of humor and creativity I wanted pass on the latest contest rules for this year's design. I've pulled this directly from their FB fan page

Would love to see TKP community take over the design. Personally, I think the shirts haven't been any good since 2006.
I liked this years orange effect. I thought it was great. The maroon was okay. Hopefully they'll have the t-shirts for sale on Relay/Spring Game weekend so I can pick them up.
I really love the back of this year's Orange Effect, but I kind of hate the front. I wish they'd some more white to the Hokie Bird or something, he looks a little creepy with just the white eyes...
I can't remember the front... the back was the Lane Stadium shot with Skipper and the quote "The sweet sound of victory" right?
Yup yup.
Ah yeah. I see what you're saying now. The back was so good though, the front could have been a little bad and it was okay. Would've looked better with different colored gobbler for sure.
Every year the UVA game is at home, I have submitted a maroon tuxedo t-shirt that says on the back "save a collar, pop a wahoo". Guess it's going to have to come from the community!
Bring back the throwbacks
I know there was talk towards SGA to make old designs available. I'd personally love to see that so you can replace worn out/stolen by ex gf shirts designs that you favor.
Throwbacks
Lets show them how much we want it then.
