The rumor can be put to bed: Tech will have maroon pants this year. #Hokies twitter.com/Hokie20/status…— Clark Ruhland (@Hokie20) June 12, 2013

Well that was short lived
Just found out that uniform mockup was from several years ago. Has the old TV logo, which is a dead giveaway. #FalseAlarm— Clark Ruhland (@Hokie20) June 12, 2013

Well, this is the napkin I'll use to clean Da'Shawn Hand's shit off my face!
I am strangely intrigued by the all orange option...
Regardless, #ALLMAROONEVERYTHING!!!!
I'm strangely disgusted by it, personally. I thought orange jerseys were bad enough.
Child, no.
No thank you. I hate when we wear Orange - we always look like Clemson or some other team. It took me a second to figure out which team we were last year in the UVA game. That should never happen. Ever
The all orange jerseys make for a game worth forgetting. Reminds me of the 90s when we would wear them and get beat by everyone.
I don't get the old fossils always complaining about the orange look.. as if we're the only school ever to wear maroon. I like all orange, too.
Fossilized thanks for making me feel
I didn't realize being 20 made me an old fossil! While our colors are maroon and orange, I too am of the opinion that all orange makes us look like other schools (Syracuse and Clemson come to mind for me), and besides when you share a common color with your rival, you should really try to make the color you don't share with them your primary color, especially when you play them.
Not arguing that at all.. We should ALWAYS wear maroon against UVA/Clemson/Syracuse. I'm just saying.. Orange / White would be good when and if we played teams like Alabama, Texas A&M, Florida State, Boston College, or anyone else that has a maroon/garnet/whatever color. Orange isn't always bad, IMO.
But that's the problem - that's not what ends up happening. We play UVA with those Orange helmets on all white. I never understand it.
Us old fossils (I'm 24) know that we historically have not played well in Orange.
Dug this up. http://starsandslights.blogspot.com/2009/10/uniform-thoughts.html
Yeah, I don't think it is the "old fossils" but those of us who know nothing but loosing in orange.
I'd say wear it for orange effect and that is about it.
Yes, also our basketball team looks like effing carrots when they wear all orange.
For the record, we have 12 different uniform combinations thanks to 2 different pairs of white pants, one with and one without stripes. I would say the odds are high that we have a different uniform combination for every game and only see #ALLMAROONEVERYTHING once until the bowl game and pending participation in the ACC Championship Game.
yeah, lets not get excited yet. for all we know they will wear them only once this year:
Orange Effect 2013!!!
I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
I always kind of liked the maroon pants with the white jersey.....this, not so much. I'd be ok if we never saw the orange jersey or pants again....or those orange helmets.
My prediction is All Maroon for Maroon effect, orange for Orange Effect, White for White out, White tops with Maroon pants for Bama, and then it's a crap shoot for every other game.
Isn't it our turn to wear home jerseys in Atlanta?
Except given our recent track record...Maroon Effect? Orange jerseys, white pants. White Out? Maroon jersey, white pants. Orange Effect? #ALLCAMOALLTHETIME
Would it be that much of a surprise if they just blindly pick uniforms off that generator the week before a game?
Why is there more orange? We don't need more orange. We need to go back to the Bill Dooley policy of no orange. Ever. Also, white pants give the option of not doing #ALLMAROONEVERYTHING, and we can't have that either.
I really don't like the jerseys with the shoulder stripes. Never have. Looks like we're going that way for life. Bring back the Ryan Williams uniforms. Stay away from mortal combat jerseys or whatever they were called.
so just throwing this out there but those jerseys still have the old T in V logo. wouldn't you think an official release would account for that and have it changed?
If you go back to the post where we talk about Andrew Brown visiting, you see that they updated them to have the modern VT logo.
does it come with a maroon belt? I would like to hang myself over Hands decision.
daddy like, daddy like
If #allorangeeverything actually happens:
False alarm...womp womp
Don't lie, you knew that all along and just wanted more turkey legs.
Today sucks.
THERE IS NO GOOD NEWS.
Today just won't end.
"The rumor can be put to bed " Now wake it back up
Go ahead...hit me.
With Cornwell visiting today, hopefully bad news doesn't travel in packs of three....geesh.
At the Ladies' Clinic 2 weeks ago, I asked Lester about having maroon pants - he grinned and said to be sure to come to all the games this season. Lester wouldn't lie!!!!
I feel a bit better now.
I just want #allmarooneverything to happen once, just once, before I graduate. Is that too much to ask?
The #allmarooneverything uniform combinations just give me a warm feeling inside. Those are the jerseys i grew up watching. The late 90's big east days and lee sugs, KJ, MV7. They were just hard nosed teams. When I think back on my first real memories of tech football its in #allmarooneverything.
Tell me you didn't just smile.
^Thats just beautiful #ALLMAROONEVERYTHING
One of my formative memories of VT football was the VT-Miami game my freshman year, 2003. The maroon uniforms just gave the team this intense look, like a cloud of doom swarming towards Miami at every chance.
shit, yall wanna go throwback? bring back the striped socks.
circa 1892
Don't forget the striped beanies! Also, speculation on what the guy on the far right is holding? Maybe an old beat up lunch box in a bag?
...am I the only one who thinks Bud Foster could make these guys into a Top-10 Defense?
Wow Those all Maroons are sillllly...we gotta get'em going again. Those are absolutely perfect its been forever, does anyone know when the last time we wore them was?
off the top of my head. . . miami 09?
