In addition, stay tuned for 100+ comments of why orange is awful and/or how sweet the uniform combo is.

"Exit light..."

In another post somebody said our record is about the same when wearing orange as otherwise, but I find that hard to believe, so count me in the awful category for orange in large quantities. Orange pants are the worst, to be sure.

The only good thing about this is, if we do beat anOSU, and they make silly excuses like "Bosa was suspended" or "Bud Foster did something different, that wasn't fair," we can come back with "Yeah, but we were wearing orange and still beat you!"

Hokie in West Africa...sadly, I can't jump up and down hard enough for it to be felt in Lane

And so it begins...

Let me guess....

I'm thinking orange gloves and cleats and you're right on the money.

From VT Equipment twitter, they have black shoes with with Nike and swoosh on them packed up for the game. (They also tweeted out the maroon jerseys several weeks ago and that was what it turned out to be so I'm assuming the black shoes are a go for this.)

Your guess is as good as mine!

-What we do is, if we need that extra push, you know what we do? -Put it up to fully dipped? -Fully dipped. Exactly. It's dork magic.

Yes, please but with orange gloves.

Edit: BreakZoneHokie beat me to it.

Winner Winner

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

WOOOOOO!

Confirmed its maroon!

He's no good to me dead.

YAYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS the oranges match from Jersey to Uniform stripes to every orange!!!!!

I misread the tagline as "to be the best, you have to beat the best."

Thought that was a pretty good jab at OSU, if not kind of silly after going 7-6.

Love the look....now, could we just get some maroon lids for the game? would make it so much better.

Now finish up them taters; I'm gonna go fondle my sweaters.

oh my God, I just came. I wanna see the cleats!!

Lots of orange cleats in the VT equipment room

That's gonna be a good look. When I saw the full mannequin it had black cleats....

I was disappoint.

VT Equipment tweeted a photo with black cleats a few weeks ago...

Interesting going with the black shoes. I'd have gone orange helmets, gloves and shoes with maroon jersey and pants. But I'd wouldn't have used the jersey stripes because that's a classic look, as opposed to going with a trendier chrome helmet.

I still think we will look very good, but I think we could've made just a couple changes to make these uniforms great.

First thing I buy once I land in blacksburg.... well maybe a rail then this.

Bleeding burnt orange and chicago maroon

Saw this shirt at CE last friday and busted out laughing in the
middle of the store. Guy at the counter just winked at me.
