No Special Uniforms This Season

Babcock told Bitter the Hokies are sticking to uniform combinations of their primary colors in 2017.

A year after breaking out black-and-gray Hokie Stone-themed uniforms for the Battle at Bristol, Virginia Tech will stick to its primary colors this year in various combinations, Babcock said.

"Coach Fuente and I are I believe very much on the same page of the traditional VT logo on the helmet," Babcock said. "I believe you'll see some variations of striping and other things, but no, we're still maroon and orange and white. And I don't know that there's any gray or black in there; I don't believe that there is any Hokie Stone. So they'll be sharp and clean."

"No Hokie Stone. No turkey feet. Not your guy, Foghorn Leghorn. Nothing like that," Babcock said with a laugh about past monstrosities. "I've seen them. They look sharp. And if we win in them, everybody likes them anyways."

The Battle at Bristol Hokie Stone uniforms were a hit with recruits like Devon Hunter and others, wonder if that hurts at all there.

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
