BG @ Va. Tech

Post by Falcon137 »

For all the uniform nerds, like myself. Virginia Tech will wear special helmets against BG, for Military Appreciation day.

Pretty neat. As far as reasons to wear alternate uniforms / helmets, benefiting the Wounded Warrior project is probably the best reason.

Did Va Tech change from Nike to Under Armour?? I think UA has/had an exclusive deal with Wounded Warrior project.

They're still Nike. That same site has the jersey's they will be wearing (white with camo letters). It looks like they are only selling camo hats (sans nike logo) with the proceeds going to, The Wounded Warrior foundation. I think Ohio State did something similar a few years ago with their spring game helmets.

It's nice Under Armour has a deal with them, but I hope universities affiliated with nike and adidas can do things to benefit them.

Wow. Under Armour must pay a hefty retainer.

Someone on here said that Va Tech will don White Jerseys for this game against BG, this means we will wear our Home Orange on the road then I take it. Be kinda nice to see. I'm excited for the new look we are rumored to be getting this year.

The Va Tech gesture is great, nice to see what they're doing, and personally the helmets look phenomenal.

Visitor's sections are 19, 39, part of 37, 101, and the top half of the Upper deck in the SEZ (top part of 501-509 or whatever). I do not imagine BG will sell many tickets outside of section 19. And they do odds on one side of the aisle, evens on the other.

Looking forward to this one. Hopefully it's a night game. Should be a cool scene in Blacksburg.
