I feel like Whit (or whoever had the biggest input in this decision) tried too hard to please everybody and wound up pleasing nobody.
So I guess we are just LSU now or something. Boring and dumb and awful. Colorado got better uniforms from Nike, Vanderbilt did too. PURDUE got way cooler uniforms from Nike this year.
WHAT HAVE WE GOT TO DO!?
Honestly if they took the stripes off they'd be extra boring but somehow less offensive. Somehow? Just very disappointed, I wanted something cool and unique, and we got the same thing with a template? That's still not their newest one I think? Just sigh...
I'll be the guy rockin the Dad bod, dressed like a Dad, trying not to embarrass Jeep with the my Dad humor. Also good for a beer.
Congrats, man to just have one kid those were easy days.
Then you have a huge advantage in picking tickets! Good stuff. Also my 1st baby is due October 7th, congrats!
Umm I thought only lots 1 and 4 are open?
We only bought a single season ticket this year since baby 4 is due first week of Oct. Mrs Fireman won't make any regular season games this year.
I dont understand the clash of traditional with modern
The upgraded font in the numbers and the collar design say modern and the shoulder stripes scream traditional. The white tri color helmets also are a modern design clashing with the traditional style shoulder stripes
Tech needs to pick one or the other and not a combination of both. We seem very confused with our direction in uniform design.
I personally would have just eliminated the shoulder stripes
Agree here, they move more quickly than you would anticipate. I spent time beforehand and had four sets I wanted; two were gone before I could select. In addition, I am an idiot and didn't read this, but you can't leave stranded single seats. Keep that in mind, it is important in selecting the ones you like. You may see great seats that are still open, but it could be because it would leave a single seat and you can't pick those two.
We have 2 - 4* tackles that are underclassmen and aren't going to start.
Looks like the standard maroon helmets picked up the stripes from the Russell Athletic Bowl a couple years ago....
Can't tell for sure, but I think the weird collar may actually look good when the helmet is on.
Well, with all of the great things that have been going on at the Athletic Dept, I guess we were bound for a little bit of a letdown. I was at least hoping that Nike would put in the Mach Speed template in these uniforms. I'm leaning against the number font; usually Nike creates the font as a link to school lineage (e.g. WVU numbers and pickaxe). I'm not sure how those numbers are "Virginia Tech". I definitely agree that there is too much orange on the maroon basketball uniforms. Hopefully these grow on us.
My first impression was that these looked like Nike's version of UCLA's uniforms, except they're not all Adidas-y with the multi-colored numbers and mesh background all over the place.
I was really hoping for a better upgrade than these, but if we start winning 10+ games a season, they can play in potato sacks for all I care.
I am so goddamned tired of numbers belonging to more than one dude.
Why do we still have the shoulder stripes! The upgraded font with the throwback stripes looks really stupid.
No Ekanot. Don't you Evans say that.
I preferred the previous basketball jerseys with the hokiestone design on the back. I guess Nike will be discontinuing that look for all of their schools.
I still want to know when I'll be able to get a basketball jersey from the bookstore.
Edit: I guess it's there if you squint. Point stands about wanting to buy a replica though.
Obviously Nike designs these cause no one at Tech would have come up with it
Because that's Ken Ekanem?
Why the hell is our right-handed QB wearing a receiver glove on his right hand?
Thank you. We just beat out Clemson and Bama. Wake up VT!
I believe.
I believe that.
I believe that we will win!
Defensive line is the deepest position at Tech...see Walker, Settle, etc
