Virginia Tech unveiled new uniforms on Saturday, part of a department-wide branding initiative provided by Nike.
Uni-philies will notice these new kits aren’t much different than the Hokies’ previous get up (modeled by former Hokie quarterback Michael Brewer above), simply tightened with a sharper font, snazzier striping and shinier helmets. But, hey, who’s counting?
In addition to new football uniforms, each team across campus will receive a new get-up that features typeface, colors and logo usage that is now fully consistent across the department.
Cue the corporate brand speak!
