Updating myself: called both campus emporium and tech bookstore.
Not looking good. But, I like how someone told me that the jerseys usually aren't for sale like that. Considering I own jerseys that never even saw the field (all black MV7)
Ho hum.

As much as I'd love a game used one, they usually end up being outrageously expensive, which is cool when it goes to Herma's Readers or the WWP.
Although, if rumors are true and a Hokie stone Pro Combat is on the horizon...
I also have been thinking about something the lady at the Tech bookstore (a manager of some sort) said:
"When we spoke with Nike, they didn't mention anything about those jerseys, usually those are done for the players only"
To read an insane amount into it: does it mean more different jerseys? How long ago was this thought up?

For what its worth, I was visiting Portland in the Spring and stopped in the Oregon Bookstore in town. Let me just say holy $@*# is there a nice selection of swag.
Not only is the apparel slick, but you can buy ANY one of their helmets (full size, in a glass case) - hydrochrome and all - for a mere $1,100. That is roughly 3x what the auctioned game-used helmets go for (sans high profile players).

I was bummed out as well when I went on my only trip to Blacksburg this season for the UNC game. All they were selling at the game were #3 which I already have and #99. I wanted and Facyson or Fuller jersey so bad, funny thing is while walking to the stadium I was still undecided on #31 or #11. I still kinda am but was and still am leaning toward Facyson.

It looks like they have not really released the 2013 uniforms except for Logan (new VT logo on the collar). They are probably trying get rid of the 2012 ones before making more 2013 since they are so similar.
Even so, they usually only make them for the major players, and before the season started, did we have anyone with name recognition other than Logan? The only other numbers that would have been considered are #17 and #99.
That said, I like the concept of the grey uniforms...but not the execution. We should have stuck with our current template and not used WVU's old template. I'm actually really annoyed about that.

You never know, Weaver might try to auction them off in the next few weeks.

It seems the only jersey being sold this year is LT3. Nothing against Logan but does anyone know why no other numbers are being sold?
University Bookstore had both #14 & #15 for sale when I was in town for the UNC Game
If it was an Oregon jersey it would already be out at stores..not enough interest unless the school wants to buy them..

Yeah, this year is oddly weird. In the bookstores they have the authentic sewn on #3 and last years what would be now Ekanem and Coleman #4.
In years past, I know they had 19, 11, 7, 99, 18, etc.
This might be a turnover to an entirely new style. No idea.
I can never seem to get what I'd want this year I'd want an 11, 17 or 31.
