BlueSky Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Knew I'd seen that nameplate font somewhere before...Hard to tell from that pic but I'm positive it's identical to the one on the Saints' 1980's jersey with the state logo on the sleeves.

Look at the bottom of the VT #5. The tip has a diagonal line that does not match what the Saints have.A nameplate usually doesn't have 5's on it. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I can't tell the difference between a nameplate and a number font. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportsmanTO Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Looks better then the mock up I saw earlier. Still, that thing is gonna look hideous on linemen. I like the white jersey better then the dark one at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Where did Nike get those unis from? Blitz: The League?The number font is very close to the New York Nightmare, circa 2005 - and there's not anything wrong with that in my book. The only thing keeping me from really liking these unis is the the lack of TV numbers. That design practically screams out for sleeve numbers.

goaztecs Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I like these better than the last set. I still miss the set with the quirky orange tv numbers.I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon8 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 This is a very solid, new design. I approve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I think Virginia Tech has to be commended for consistently coming up uniforms that may not always meet approval here, but are usually "cool" looking and fairly cutting edge. They have also found a way to make maroon and orange fit together well, when it's arguably not the greatest combo to work with.Bucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

averyj Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Anyone else seeing the "sports bra effect" like I am?Yep, I see it now that you pointed it out.Instead of a separate color and material, like Oregon State, this looks like its just a different material.Overall, it's a pretty nice update, it meshes together well, the continuity between VT logo and jerseys is nice. Although I do miss the quirky piping-heavy ones just a small bit. hahaThe Orange panels on the home jersey seem a bit large, but that's because of the fact that they're, well, orange.I believe that they'll look fine when there are pads underneath.As for the away jerseys, I have no complaints.Overall, a very solid update for the Hokies. You know, I rarely visit ccslsc anymore. I really should fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Nice uniform. I like it overall, however the "sports-bra effect" may be more pronounced in game action under stadium lights.

cranium Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 wait till they start sweating. I bet those orange side panels change colors. Looks like something BYU would try for a year. They are different, but they lack purpose, like the orange piping on the pants. Why bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
