Not sure?
I'm positive that I don't like this. Yuck.
Rut ro. Time to even the trend....
Puke
I would hate these as regular unis but wearing them once every 10 years is OK with me. It's orange effect and it's helluva a lot better than God forsaken Foghorn Leghorn
Had to expect as much. The fact that they went out of their way to highlight to previous loss just makes me shake my head, though (because of course the unis had something to do with it).
What?! Are we trying to lose?
Apparently.
I don't understand why on orange effect, we can do all orange everything, but somehow we are incapable of doing all maroon everything on maroon effect...
Now im just nervous...
Meh
Edit: that said, I'm not sure why people are so upset. It's not like we didn't see this coming
If that's what they end up looking like, they're not terrible. We've done far worse, and I'm honestly OK with an orange-dominant look to go along with Orange Effect.
I don't mind either, for orange effect. But as I said before, why do we do this, but can't manage an all maroon, maroon effect game?
A fair point. I seem to recall saying the same pretty much every year.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Exactly! Embrace it people!
I really just don't like it.
If we were playing on a desert island, and only had one uniform, then OK.
But we're not.
HAHAHA tell it like it is, Andy!
The biggest question: Who is the university paying to keep uniform statistics?
Oh oh oh! There should totally be a keeper of the uniform statistcs. You can't tell me that somewhere out there there isn't a grad student who wouldn't love to do research into this. I don't know what discipline it is. Maybe sports psych?
I've logged a few years here. My photoshop skills are clearly not the best and I haven't submitted any for this year which explains why there are incorrect details, but between moving and finding out I'm making a future Hokie, things have been a little hectic. At some point I do intend to keep moving backwards the best I can.
Wow..so we are Syracuse with maroon buckets..hate it.
I'm partial to the all orange because my high school team used to wear all orange. Don't down vote me bro!
Turkey leg for you..cant down vote an honest opinion. Lol
Hah, thanks man. We only did it for big games because it was kind of a FU. "Yeah we look pumpkins but we are still gonna beat you."
*like
Lol nothing wrong with a little swag on the gridiron..my high school wore maroon and gold. Brookville bees, the same high school of LT3!
No, Tennessee is the orange that looks like pumpkins.
That's what we wore. With white helmets as well.
And/or traffic cones...
Seriously though, maybe it won't be THAT bad? Fingers crossed.
Will we ever have Hokie Stone jerseys, and Maroon/Orange helmets?
Don't mind them. I just hate when they highlight the loss like that though. Go Hokies!
I'm seriously not liking the vibes I'm getting for this game. Someone please tell me I'm being ridiculous..
You're being ridiculous.
Phew thank you. Have a turkey leg for diffusing my gameday anxiety
No problem. We are all family here.
The recruits will like them though. The change of pace and the flair. I am ok with this move.
Exactly my thinking. If they like Oregon's highlighter unis, I don't see why not ours
What I want is a jacket like Beamer's.....digging the white.
those uniforms are fugly
FULLER IS ALL OVER THE BALL TODAY!
I blame the Orange uniforms!!!!
Banish them!!!!!!!
THESE UNIFORMS, NEVER AGAIN!!!!
Burn them all. Never again. Currently 0-2 with this combo. I say it's bad karma.
I know it was the orange effect, but those were pretty awful. The effects are for the fans/stadium, I don't see why it matters if our jerseys match the 'effect.'
Take the orange uniforms to the center of worsham field and burn them.
The Frankinator just said on TTL "Never again" with that uni combination.
Thank God.
To be fair... I'm pretty sure he said that the last time too.
