Exactly ... and they made their actual brand be crazy unis

It started with the yellow "highlighter" unis. But if you make your brand be the fact your units are wildly creative, that's a path and I get it. That isn't what VT has done. It's like VT has dabbled in funny unis because some admin with PowerPoint said, "I like to be creative!"

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
Problem will all the multitude of uniforms we have zero
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. **

Pylons • 05/24/24 05:46 PM ET
Don’t tell that to Cam Newton**
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

WestyHokie • 05/24/24 08:50 AM ET
Iconic Home uni, get creative with road (and 3rd) combos...
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
How many schools do they produce uniforms for?
