Here's a closer look at the Black Uniforms
I think they look pretty sharp.

Black is not a VT color.
Orange, maroon, and white are sufficient.

Prior to 1896 in Tech's early days of football the colors were black and
grey! So there is technically a connection with the color black. Back then the school name was VAMC.

Black is fine as an occasional color, all schools use it. Why not VT?
I really don't get the concern here.

As a hitter, I loved the contrast with 'picking up the white' ball against
the background of the black pants ( uniform ). You won't find any international teams in men's fastpitch softball wearing black pants. Wonder why?

I'm good with softball uni's in black. Just not football.

The players LOVE them, so that's good by me.

Think of the VT colors on black like Elvis on black velvet. Who doesn't
want an Elvis on black velvet in a frame in their man cave, huh huh?

Are the letters and numbers edged in orange, or is that a sewn thread image

I couldn't answer @TomTurkey question because I have no clue what a
"sewn thread image" is. Do you?

Sounds like embroidery to me. I have a friend that started silk screening
T-shirts in his garage. Has built his business to where he’s now building a huge facility near high Point ( I think). Now does tshirts, embroiders high end labels for the furniture industry, embroiders hats, logos, patches, etc. wonderful African American family with a sweet little boy. 20 years ago he was with a group of kids visiting stepsons and daughter at a big beach house we rented. He was picking my brain about how to start a business after observing my dental practice. He has far surpassed my expertise!

No. Something on the order of orange thread around the border of the letter
where its sewn onto the jersey? Better?
