...and to try to get sponsorships from. Welcome to Lane Stadium at Worsham Field in the Victoria's Secret Athletic Complex.
That's the academic side. The athletic side uses a different color palate that was unveiled in the 2016 rebrand that effectively aligned athletics with the colors that we had been wearing for a couple decades at that point. To be fair, they still call it Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange, but they switched the official colors to the more purplish maroon and blaze orange that we had been wearing athletically for a while. Academics rebranded shortly thereafter to more or less align, just lighter shades of those colors.
References to this rebrand have been scrubbed from Hokiesports, but I was able to track down the current Brand Sheet that we sent to the NCAA that is what our suppliers have been working with for years, or at least the one that was last revised in 2018 - https://brand.vt.edu/content/dam/Virginia%20Tech%20Artwork%20Sheet.pdf
There is a good article on this rebrand on TSL from that time - https://virginiatech.sportswar.com/free-content/2016/04/28/virginia-tech...
As you can see, the colors more or less match the colors that we have worn athletically for a while. Our official Chicago Maroon is that purplish shade. Our official Burnt Orange is that Blaze Orange you see in these uniforms.
In fact, if we're being technical about it all, the color scheme of TKP is actually out of date based on our current branding.
You're assuming that the GM reports to the head coach, and not the other way around, as it is in the NFL.
Teams don't suddenly "come to life" in the playoffs after a bye. Just ask the Braves.
So the names of the colors didn't change, but there was an effort to consolidate the branding more uniformly since there was a wide variety in the maroon that we used, the orange that we used, etc. There have been more purple maroons, more brown maroons, day-glow orange, burnt orange, unsaturated orange etc.
There were specific colors assigned (HEX, RGB, PMS, etc) that were to be enforced across all media. It helped a bit, but there are still discrepancies in how the color is used in a lot of places.

Are you sure? This website might be outdated but from a quick google I can not find reference to a change in 2016

"Virginia Tech's official colors, Chicago maroon and burnt orange, have not changed since 1896. The school's brand guide requires using Chicago maroon and burnt orange, and there's no evidence of any color changes in 2016 or any time since their adoption. "

Except under the lights. Need the glossy or metallic styles 10 out of 10 times.
On the latest TSL podcast, CC mentioned they knew who they wanted and were close to making it official.
I don't think this situation is necessarily a sign of incompetence, but just saying it doesn't promote confidence
I think I agree with this. Anything going public should have been already pre approved at this time and Arians comments sound like they were definitely not pre approved. But I think this falls more on Arians than the school as it should've been very clear not to be too public with everything and Arians is not a one time guest on that show. VT was not placing him there to talk about it.
Oh really?! I didn't realize that was an official decision. Just thought we'd had a different shade of orange from Nike for a while.
Condoleezza lol
I dont like the strip on maroon helmets and I don't know why, but I hate it
What happened to Gabe? He was playing well the last few weeks
:(
I dont think either team looked particularly impressive this week. Its going to be interesting to watch the first couple games against the Jays to see which versions of each club show up. My gut tells me we're going to see the Jays finally come to life in the playoffs.
Scary seeing 2 Safeties on the questionable list
take your leg
So, the GM works for the head coach... got it... makes total sense... smh

# | Georgia Tech signs a 10 year roughly $190m apparel deal with UnderArmour On the bright side, they shouldn't have to steal other team's jersey's for the practice field in the future.
Everything is better with matt
So our next uniform deal is with Armani?
A little unorthodox, but we will look good at least
edit:
Edit 2: just to balance things, here's the Victoria's Secret variant
I heard she's actually at the top of the committee's list for the HC job after missing out on the Browns job a few years back

# | Georgia Tech signs a 10 year roughly $190m apparel deal with UnderArmour Given that this contract is reportedly 6X their previous Adidas contract, I would imagine that there's a substantial amount of cash, but also that uniforms and equipment would be included in that deal. All of that money is going to go to the athletic department and they will distribute two players at their discretion (just like all rev share money)
Sensational.
