The whole post is here for anyone who is interested: http://www.uniwatchblog.com/2010/12/19/if-the-sec-went-pro-combat-101/.
And as far as we are concerned, I'm 99% sure it's going to be the all whites.
e really need a helmet with the old school Gobbler on it.
The uni blog. They have mock ups of ALL teams in the SEC, only wishing now, not reality. (The white Flo-rida helmet with the Gator is BA!)
But, int he body, they are talking about 4 Nike teams with new unis for the bowls, and Tech isn't one of them. That means that we are wearing some sort of basic uni from this year, nothing special and new.
Still rooting for the all-whites like the mock-up above...
I wonder if they use dump trucks or just good ole fashioned shoeboxes?
khlavaaaash!
Looks too much like Clemson or Cleveland Browns. Ugh.

Haven't seen the uni's yet, but Oregon and Florida are going all white unis this year.
That leads me to believe that we might be too.
the maroon jerseys with the striped pants.
Agree on both counts there.
Why I bought my first jersey, finally.
RMFW.
But our "regular" uniforms this season are my second favorite. I think they have a nice old school retro look to them but come across tough.
Can't remember if we are home or away team for the OB, but here would be my preferences:
Home Uniform Preference #1: All maroon. Think 2003 game vs Miami or others like that.
Home Uniform Preference #2: 2007(?) uniform with maroon jerseys with thin white stripe on top, white pants, maroon helmets (http://www.techsideline.com/columns/2005/adibi07_small.jpg)
Home Uniform Preference #3: 2008(?) uniform with maroon jerseys with thick orange stripe up the side (http://www.beamerball.com/2008photos/uni7.jpg), maroon helmet
Home #4: Current maroon with white and orange stripes on shoulders, white pants, maroon helmet.
Key: Do not wear Boise State black and orange unis. They were a novelty.
Away Uniform Preference #1: (http://www.beamerball.com/2008photos/uni7.jpg), maroon helmet.
Away Uniform Pref #2: Classic white uniforms (circa 1999-2000), maroon pants, maroon helmets
Away Uniform Preference #3: NIke Pro Combat 2009 uniform, white Pro Combat Helmet
Tech needs to quit making jersey decisions between the 10th and 11th drink.
As one commenter noted previously - what matters is whether the team likes them. If they like it i like it :)
(but in all honestly i kind of think they're awesome. it will depend on what the rest of the uni is)
I'm pro orange.
of course, I wear orange oxford button down shirts to work with maroon ties. so there.
Like the idea of maroon jersey/white pants or white and white.
Though, I'm with you joe on any other major part of orange will be some serious Orangeness.
But really, it seems we are Eugene-east for Nike.
Why should it distract us any more than the Ducks?
Plus, is the Cardinal used to Orange of any kind?
Fun to debate, but I'm so fired up for this game.
Too bad I am coming back to Europe on the morning of the 3rd and will have to wait till the evening of the 4th to watch the game! Media blackout at my desk! Either that or sick day on the 4th :) orrrrrr stay up and watch, which I've done twice this season to painful results, but always a good game.
GO HOKIES.

Not too shabby.
