rock55choc Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 As I was watching the Clemson - Florida State football game on Monday night, I noticed something unusual to me. Just above the ACC logo patch on the right side of the jersey there is a small black strip on the jersey. This black strip could be found on both the Clemson and Florida State teams. Why is it there and what if anything does it stand for. I have also occasionally noticed this black strip on various NBA jerseys. Thanks for replying if you have an answer.

oddball Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 If I'm not mistaken, those are the Virginia Tech tribute patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Probably.Black bands like those and on NBA uniforms or baseball sleeves are to honor someone/those who have died... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamblinGamblinTiger Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I think it might be an ACC thing, because Georgia Tech had them as well- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wally1912 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Boston College, too. Look just above the ugly new eagle head on the sleeve.The black patches are being worn by all ACC member schools.http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2995045Weaver also said each of Virginia Tech's 21 athletic teams will wear a patch with the Virginia Tech logo and a ribbon this season. Each of the teams at the ACC's other 11 schools will wear a black bar on their uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
