I'm so afraid to get excited about this

Using /s is for cowards.

I reserve the right to see how it looks live, initial reaction is....very eh. There are aspects I like (hokie stone jersey) and parts I dont (black pants/helmet). I think the uni would look better if that jersey was paired with maroon pants

They'll really get after ya

Hm. To each their own. I like the pants and helmet the best myself. Either way, the fact that Hunter is the one to reveal this is huge. I don't think he commits right now but it's coming.

I see your point, to generalize tho. I'm more eh about no orange or maroon. I dont mind going black or gray for some alternate jerseys but I still want at least a hint of our school colors. The two black jerseys still had orange and the gray jerseys vs miami had maroon pants. Maybe they're going for a historical reference here. Our colors used to be black and gray before we changed to maroon and orange, but we changed them because people said we looked like we were in a prison uniform

They'll really get after ya

Wow! That's better than I expected.

While I don't disagree about the maroon comment above, I do think the black/grey will contrast better on TV with the UT bright orange/white.

And I'd say these are better than the Boise St black/orange "Halloween" unis!

I mean hey, Black and Grey were our former colors!

I'm so glad there is a VT sign between Devon and the wall. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to see him.

Seriously, we had Hunter debut these?

Recruiting... Our staff gets it so hard we're already pregnant with the 2019 class

Yep, it's a genius idea. Shows Hunter how important he is to this class.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

I feel like a bunch of others on this thread, in that I hope this kid commits, because a uniform reveal is typically a big deal. This is kinda like our "driving to a camp in a questionable school colored Lambo" moment in recruiting...

So why is he draped in linoleum? /s

I really like this for a one time deal and the pants and helmet could potentially be used with other combinations as well. Let's win in them please.

TBH, the numbers are outlined in Maroon and the tiny VT patches have orange in them.

Either he's got an auto-reTweeter or his thumbs are really sore. He's blowing up the Twitter.
