All credit to Clark Ruhland (@Hokie20, with a VT design portfolio that literally is too vast to list out) has gone through an interesting thought process on Twitter over the last few weeks...
What would VT look like if it had a uniform set based upon the templates that various professional franchises use. And the results are... well, I mean they just speak for themselves...

Personally... I love this thought exercise. If some of these were available for sale, I know I'd buy them. Obviously, they don't all work, but enough of them hit the right chords that I think this thread might be something worth pulling going forward to see if we might be able to market and sell some unique looks every year.

Hokie birds on the bat?
Did you know they actually did that a few years ago?
Guess I need to sneak into English Field again with my gf and see if I can find myself one of these.
I'd buy the Miami Heat one in a heartbeat.
The Wiz one is pretty sharp.
Yep. But it feels like we should probably still be in the Metro conference.
The details make it even better
Love love love that. The details in it make it even sweeter. That thing is banging.
The Nets one. Black with white "Blacksburg" I'm here for it.
Potato quality picture, because I probably took it on the flip phone I was still rockin', but this was the cadet intramural jerseys when I was in school.
Those Pacers jerseys are clean. Would pay real dollars for one of those. 2nd and 3rd to the Raptors and Celtics, respectively.
Honorable mention to the Hawks throwback. That's pretty slick.
I think the Giants alts are some of the sexiest unis in all of sports. That uni pops.
The Blue Jays retro is 🔥🔥🔥
The Cavs and Sixers replicas are a thing of beauty.
Wow these are awesome. I love a baseball uni. They are so slick.
Love the Wizards and Braves ones the most. Pacers jersey looks real clean too. Looking forward to seeing the Western Conference designs.
Give me the Bullets and Hawks jerseys stat and if Clark goes old school Denver Nuggets jersey Hello!
Those Heat and Wizards remakes are straight 🔥 🔥 🔥
OP Updated with NBA Western Conference
Ooooh, that Clips/Buffalo throwback........with the Fighting Gobbler.
