These jerseys, especially throwbacks, often flew off the shelves, showcasing the strong connection between the fans and the team’s visual identity.

Will we see a modern twist on a classic design, or perhaps a completely fresh direction? Many are eager to see if the Hokies will consider a throwback to the popular 1999 uniforms, hoping to recapture that winning spirit and visual appeal.
