VT's cost of throwback uniforms.

Here's an interesting article noting the use of the beautiful and most glorious throwback uni's from our failed syracuse game.

From SportsLogos.net:

Link:. Cost of VT throwback uniforms.

Lots of interesting stuff, IMHO.

Another frustrating reference to our poor agreement and revenue stream:

The Hokies are in the midst of an eight-year deal with Nike originally signed in 2007 and extended in 2014, which includes roughly $2 million in cash and apparel to be spread out among their 22 varsity sports each year. It's considered one of the worst contracts – at least from the school's perspective – among all Power 5 programs.

Yikes. We suck. Can't this be remedied?

And, interesting to me, how VT had to ante up for the unis:

According to a report from The Roanoke Times, Virginia Tech was charged $16,140.02 for the 1999 throwbacks it wore in last month's loss to Syracuse.

NIKE won't even cop us a lousy sixteen grand?!

I'm sure there's more to it, but...

Note to Whit: maybe this is part of why we can't afford a buyout, or other nice things.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

I found TKP after two rails from TOTS then walking back to my apartment and re-watching the 2012 Sugar Bowl. I woke up the next day with this username.
