Geoff Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Anyone know why?I know when they unveiled the throbacks we all agreed how good they would look with the current helmet. They did look good but they looked even better losing. Athletic Director: KTU Blue Grassers Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantleisthebest7 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 That is incredibly sharp. Wow, they should just ditch that ridiculous plate of hurl they have now for this look. Incredible. Jimmy Eat World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coheed Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yea, I noticed that they had done this previously as well, and I think there's a pretty good explanation why....They look 10000000x better than the pit-stain uniforms they currently have.

cranium Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 It appears some sanity may be returning to college football uniforms with this revolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 So the players requested that? Wow, I was wondering why they kept on wearing them...Smart dudes over there at VT. Might as well make a maroon jersey and make a set out of it. It'd be a big upgrade over what they already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirginiaTechSucks Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Rumor mill going around here is that they are going to make a home version of it for next year and that will be the new set. The throwback merchandise sales at the Tech Bookstore and all around Tech country is exceeding what they expected when they revealed the jersey set and throwback logo. I really hope this is the case, the majority of Tech fans i have spoken with hate the new design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappital92 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I really don't understand all the love for this. It's just LSU in maroon and orange. I prefer the new set a lot more. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I really don't understand all the love for this. It's just LSU in maroon and orange. I prefer the new set a lot more.LSU doesn't wear white pants, and there's a small white stripe in their pants stripes, instead of just 3 solid stripes on VT. They're pretty different.

cappital92 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I should have said that the jerseys looked like LSU, not everything. I still like the current set. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take the VT throwbacks over the needless, senseless, mindless random piping that seems to be the rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still MIGHTY Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 OMG!!!!They copied the Colts and the Jets (minus the logo) as well | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Okay. Let's stop this bickering over who they look like and what other teams wear the stripes. They are UCLA stripes, always have been, always will be! There I said it. Now can we move along? There's nothing to see hear anymore. Disperse to your homes and feed your hungry kids.

Island_Style Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Doesn't every jersey copy another jersey? Really, aren't there like only 10 out there that are copied many times? Sometimes colors is all it takes to make a world of difference.P.S. The FSU uniform is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes colors is all it takes to make a world of difference.P.S. The FSU uniform is amazing!For the most part, there are many similarities nowadays in jersey styles. Naturally you will always have teams in which they are the only ones wearing a certain style, i.e. Oregon. Also, I believe the template Mizzou currently uses is only also being used by Wake Forest, only the jerseys though, they have different pants.
