I agree. It feels dated to me...
Plus the VT is cartoonishly large. I'll reserve complete judgement until I see them on the field, but I feel a little let down. It doesn't feel very "fashion forward"...
Someone who knows what they are doing in photoshop could put the kickoff game patch on a jersey. They don't change it from year to year. We should hear something by noon I hope about the jerseys.
Colston from TSL is where I ganked it from.
And on the photo shoot, this is all that needs to be said:
Can't see your pic, but the only time we've revealed jerseys actually on players (that I can remember) were the Pro Combat jerseys and they had a HUGE reveal for those.
I honestly cannot decide if I like it or not.
I wanted to down vote you to show sarcasm but 1) you are The HorseOnATreadmill and 2) No one would've understood...
I would think it's official because of the Chick fil a kickoff game symbol on it. Also TSL tweeted a picture of it earlier, I expect for Hokiesports to confirm it very soon.
Thanks. It certainly looks legit, otherwise it's a heck of a 'shop job. Probably leaked somehow.
Chris Coleman from TSL posted it overnight:
Are these the uniforms we're wearing for Bama? Or just a good photshop? http://t.co/IOcgaDytBA— Chris Coleman (@ChrisColemanTSL) August 30, 2013
To me the design kinda looks like a 1990's jersey, and to clear up any confusion before it starts I'm not talking about any Hokie throw backs just the overall look, looks like a 90's design imo.
If DJ keeps adding weight we can just move him to TE. Would be a mismatch and we know he can block (just as UVA). I think we should just go in zero receiver sets and pound the rock with Sam Rogers.
Chris Coleman from TSL posted it late last night on Twitter asking the same thing, photoshop or real? General consensus was that it looked good enough to be real, but there's no news from VT Athletics or VT Football Equipment about it yet.
Can I ask who the source is? Not showing up from Beamer Ball, VT Football, or any of the reporters I normally follow.
I posted this pic in the helmet thread and as I said there, I'm not sure whether this is a really good photoshop or legit. My question would be why they did a photo shoot with them. Usually, they just put the uniform on a mannequin or show it laid out, not on a player in front of a real photography background.
looks like 1988....not sure if I'm a fan of these.
Yea that's not much better. Ha'Sean Clinton Dix? Hay Sean, you see Clinton's Dix?
Yeah, I'm ok with it. At least there is no dominate orange in the jersey and we are wearing maroon helmets.
I doubt this is an overhaul of the entire uni, but, I'm curious about it as well. I love the rainbow pinstripes but the VT needs to go back to the collar. It really seems to stand out and not so much in a good way.
I also love the font.
I actually like them. I'd obviously prefer #ALLMAROONEVERYTHING but this is actually a good uni. The shoulder stripes and much better than the LSU style.
Good call. I like that idea. Put some banners or pennants up there from ACC Championships and bowl wins and that could look cool.
The Nebraska game was my Freshman year. I hadn't been home yet but my sister had her first cheerleading competition that Saturday. I didn't win a ticket in the lottery so I decided to go home and support her.
So to recap, I was getting updates on the Nebraska game from a website on a not very smartphone while at a cheerleading competition (I know, I'm an idiot)
Anyway, I thought we were done for and had given up hope, we go to a restaurant after the competition and as we pull into the parking lot, the crappy gamecast I was on updates and shows that we just jumped about 75 yards in an instant. I proceed to sprint into the restaurant (which I worked at at the time), went straight to the bar and asked whoever would listen, "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!!!" I was in VT gear and some Nebraska fans just said "We just blew it." I then proceeded to watch the end of the game and almost conviced my parents to drive me back to Blacksburg that night to partake in the celebrations that I'm sure followed.
Not bad, not bad at all.
replace the gray with marron, and we have epicness. Hopefully those will be in store for this year
Bama - I think Kyle fuller would play for Bama but that's it
Clemson
LSU
Boise State
Maybe I'll feel different when I see them Saturday night in real time but just based off this photo......me no likey
