Va Tech reveals orange uniforms for CFB’s 2024 season in new Hype | video News, scores, highlights, stats and rumours

The Virginia Tech football team showed up at the X on Wednesday to unveil the orange uniforms they will wear through the 2024 season.

Both the shirts and pants are orange, while the shirt features a white number trimmed with maroon on the front and maroon numbers trimmed with white on the shoulders. Also, the helmets are white and feature a maroon “VT” logo trimmed in orange:

As part of the post on X, Virginia Tech included the hashtag #OrangeEffect, which refers to the four “effect plays” announced by the school this season.

The Hokies wore white for the “White Effect” game against Rutgers last month, so it stands to reason that they will wear the orange uniforms Thursday night against Boston College for the “Orange Effect” game.

While the Hokies have worn orange on orange a few times throughout their existence, it’s a rare color combination as they traditionally wear maroon jerseys.

If nothing else, the Orange Effect should influence fan turnout Thursday when Virginia Tech hosts Boston College at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg.

It’s been an up and down season for the Hokies so far as they sit at 3-3 and fight for bowl eligibility.

After a season-opening loss to a Vanderbilt team that later went on to upset then-No. 1 Alabama, VT picked up back-to-back wins over Marshall and Old Dominion.

The Hokies then lost by three to a Rutgers team that is now 4-2 and by four to a Miami team that is 6-0 and ranked sixth in the nation.

Virginia Tech bounced back two weeks ago to get its first ACC win of the season, crushing Stanford 31-7 on the road.

Thursday marks another conference game against 4-2 Boston College, and a win would have the Hokies heading toward their second consecutive bowl game appearance under head coach Brent Pry.
