Having Nike's team doesn't mean the results will be good. Plus they keep some of the intellectual property created, which is among the good reasons not to do anything with the logo.
Anybody else notice sun still came up today?
This makes me uncomfortable for many reasons
Kind of like Star Trek meets Hokie.
Bus crashes actually happen a lot. Fatal ones are rare and only big ones make the news.
I'm not a huge fan of these. But I love Whits response to the criticism on Twitter and you can't argue with unifying the brand and not listening to Nikes terrible ideas about rounded corners on the VT.
Love them. Hate them. Either way sounds like youd better just get used to them.

# | Trio of Virginia Prospects Bond During Visit to See Hokies' "Up-Tempo" Spring Scrimmage Hopefully we'll see him with the ball in a real game!
Blues get another chance to close out the Hawks tonight. Hope they can pull it off. Got really close last game, outplaying for the vast majority of OT only for Kane to turn it on and steal a win.
That.
That is worse.
it will feel good to close out the series in Philly..... hopefully
I don't give a shit honestly, as long as we win every game, we could wear barney uniforms for all I care
Ehhhh..... i'm not sure about these.
Well, it was a funny comment at the time.
Sad news
My Sharks will either win the cup or be eliminated by someone other than the Kings!!! Equally historic feats, really.
I dunno, which is worse, that or...
IDK, the one on the left in the very top picture (the blonde girl) blends pretty badly. It looks more grey around the number than white to me, and I can see how that would be bad on the TV.
Confused. We finally had the Nike identity team at our disposal and we changed the number font? I was under the impression that more significant changes were coming.
Edit: I'm sure Whit has a few tricks up his sleeve. He's not going to reveal everything at this event. Something will involve anthracite...
Normally this would be funny but seeing how the situation ended, it's in pretty poor taste.
NO!! THEY DON'T DESERVE OUR COLOR SCHEME. BURN IT WITH FIRE!!
I've said this before...but why did we go away from that? It felt like we got lazy with the throwbacks, and just kept wearing them.
Or even the '09 look
usually Nike creates the font as a link to school lineage
There is a font called "Blacksburg" that Nike has. And it was even worn in the 2015 Independence Bowl.
By Tulsa.
Yes, the strip around the neck is too wide. By, like, double. And, sure, the shoulder stripes are kind of played out by now... Glad to see we kept the tri-color helmet, which is ab. so. lute. FIRE. I like the new number font - distinctively new, but nothing approaching the monstrosities they wear in Miami, Louisville, Cincy etc. (I mean, adidas. 'Nuff said.) Biggest fear was that they'd unveil some hideous font.
These are our base uniforms - we will rock some throwback stuff, probably unveil some alternate combo if not this year then next. There will be an all-white. There will be an all-maroon. There will be an all-ora---er, hopefully not...
Otherwise, what were folks hoping/expecting to see?? Alternate colors? Matte helmets? I think these are pretty reasonable, small changes that don't scream "rebranding". VT needs something that looks new to its fan base, not some huge overture that comes off as desperate.
They'll look a lot better to folks when we start winning games while wearing them.
& PS: re the hoops uni's - if you can't make out the orange numbers with a big white border around them, it's no fault of the uniform.
