300 bones for a jersey??!! That seems a bit high. Wasn't that the starting (and ending bid for several) of the helmets?

We put the K in Kwality

The helmets were $500 starting.

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

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:

Not sure if it will be the same, but "included" in the price of the helmets was the option to have Frank sign them at no additional charge. Don't hold me to it but I would think they will do the same thing here.

Those were some great uniforms. Hope there's a black one mixed in this season.

I'm hoping for a blackout against Miami on Maroon Effect. That would have been really sharp last year against NC State.

Anthracite jerseys have long been rumored. That's even better than black.

What happened to the helmets that didn't get any bids? Was hoping to see a 2nd round of auctions for those at a lower price.

Just so I am clear, did these have the Frank Beamer final season patch on them or no?

Jersey worn during the North Carolina game on November 21, 2015.
All jerseys include the commemorative Frank Beamer patch.
A portion of the proceeds from this auction will go to Herma's Readers.

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

Speaking of black VT gear, do any of y'all know where I could get
a T-shirt with the Boise State game pro combat graphics?
