Vote with your wallet and Just Say No to Nike. Contract or no contract, they can paint FEDEX field black (sound like Boise?), but they will not see any monetary benefit from this alum. j Rediculous is Right!!!   The black uniform is UGLY.

Now I'm not faulting anyone for their opinion, after all thats all we have on the issue; but when I read this it cracked me up. We have the oldest coaching staff other than Penn st and we complain constantly about not being able to land the top recruits. Even though I also agree the uniforms are not very appealing (to me), I very much appreciate the fact that VT is capeable of doing something unorthodox with the uniform changes. Its exciting for the fans inspiring to the players and most of all, recruits love it. The most attractive school right now in the pac10 besides USC is undoubtedly Oregon, and its no secret why. Now I hope i didn't come off too strong, but I read just about everything that is written abt VT football, and the conservativism that lies within a lot of the blog guys (with the exception of the 'fire bryan stinespring site' which also happens to be my personal fav) does not really resonate with our players; whom I happen to know many of. Now i'm not lost on the fact that Nike benefits, but by God, so do we. Some 13yr old kid is going to watch that game and say "COOL"!!! that 13yr old will hopefully grow up to be a great QB and committ to VT right away in 2015. So while u were sporting your mulletts, some old geezer was offering his words of critical wisdom as to why your generation has been lost in the new trends they deemed unsuitable. So while we might not fall in love with these unis (everyone is entitled to their preference), lets at least appreciate what VT is doing...differently. Carry on guys... Bless your heart Randy!

Tradition people. i've been going to Tech football games since you could walk up and get in for free at half time... remember when we kicked Syracuse 62-0 - yea i got into that game for free and we sure as goodness weren't wearing some classless uniform and certainly did alright. We shouldn't even need to be talking about this crap. I don’t necessarily think theres a generation gap here.. i’m 22 and i think these uniforms are ridiculous.
