Iconic Home uni, get creative with road (and 3rd) combos...

On your home turf, you should wear the same basic color combination for all eternity. As a multi sports fan, I feel like soccer gets this right. I know soccer gets creative with colors more than any other sport, but they do not mess with their home look.

Uniform Question - Is there not a sketch from Nike or someone available?
CobbCountyHokie • 05/23/24 09:32 AM ET
VT has a release plan, it will come out when they scheduled it to.**
TheFacts • 05/24/24 12:59 PM ET

Define burnt orange.
vthokieq • 05/24/24 10:13 AM ET
The official color was once burnt orange but it wasn't the athletic color
Seikoh_04 • 05/24/24 02:53 PM ET
Why do fans really care what uniforms look like? Never understood this one**
Rahvatech • 05/23/24 05:23 PM ET
It's huge for branding, recruiting, etc.**
NOFX • 05/25/24 12:50 PM ET

Rahvatech • 05/25/24 01:42 PM ET
Yes for us but it is possible (Oregon, Google, etc)**
NOFX • 05/25/24 01:52 PM ET
I agree
Planner_Hokie • 05/24/24 07:29 PM ET
Why do fans (or just people in general) like or care about anything?

Everybody wants to look cool & your teams should look cool, that’s why**
ombandit • 05/24/24 12:55 AM ET
Maroon and orange aren’t up high on the cool list.
GreenvilleVT • 05/24/24 07:49 AM ET
Wholeheartedly disagree except the ECU part … our colors are sweet **
fsghokie • 05/25/24 08:53 PM ET
Grimace and Barney love purple too. **

Foxhall Hokie • 05/24/24 09:45 AM ET
Horrible take this is. Just horrible. **
vthokieq • 05/24/24 07:57 AM ET
Two reasons, though no one seems to want to answer my repeated question
WestyHokie • 05/23/24 08:42 PM ET
Brand is complicated
Hokie1992 • 05/26/24 09:38 AM ET
Yup, Purdue is a bball powerhouse rn and has zero sex appeal bc of 🚮 gear**
NOFX • 05/25/24 12:53 PM ET
Lets be like Notre Dame and have limited uniforms
Rahvatech • 05/24/24 09:41 AM ET
I agree and VT athletics, has hired new firm to pump up their brand mgt
DMV Gobbler • 05/24/24 08:08 AM ET
You might just need a new TV...and eye surgery and/or glasses.**
vthokieq • 05/24/24 07:27 AM ET
As the Michael Irvin used to say, "C'mon, man!"
WestyHokie • 05/24/24 08:47 AM ET
I've NEVER turned on a VT game and been confused about which team was VT.
vthokieq • 05/24/24 08:49 AM ET
Grate, but I'm betting lots of college fans have done a double take
WestyHokie • 05/24/24 08:53 AM ET
And I'd bet they really don't.
vthokieq • 05/24/24 09:01 AM ET
It ma matter less now but some years ago a UVA player

BUGGZY • 05/23/24 09:46 PM ET
As long as we aren't mistakenly sent the S&M uniforms from "Dodgeball".
KCHokie2 • 05/23/24 07:31 PM ET
I don't understand the angst over the release HOWEVER, we badly need new
bburgnative • 05/23/24 06:01 PM ET
Looked fine to me.**
Rahvatech • 05/23/24 06:22 PM ET
Hell, we used to just make our own!**

DMV Gobbler • 05/23/24 11:20 AM ET
Not great news. Nike was also behind on the MLB uniforms
kingofcassell • 05/23/24 11:04 AM ET
And MLB hates the Nike uniform**
3TechFanz • 05/26/24 11:57 AM ET
