It’s a fall Saturday and the Hokies are in Blacksburg to face off in a exciting ACC football battle. For Virginia Tech football fans, there isn’t a better place to be when the Hokies are playing. The Virginia Tech football game day scene has developed into one of the best in in college football and tailgating is the main focus of the day. But if you plan to participate, you better be properly dressed in the right Hokie gear to show off your Virginia Tech pride.
You’ve got many of options. Probably the most common outfit for a Hokie football fan is a Virginia Tech football jersey. Get the jersey with the number of your ideal Hokie, either current or a prior year player player and off you go. The Virginia Tech football team wears a variety of uniforms, but generally at home there are in maroon, so a Virginia Tech maroon jersey is often your best option. However feel free to sport one of the other Hokie options including a white Virginia Tech Jersey or even an orange Hokie jersey.
If the weather is colder, a jersey can still work out with more layers, but you can also take a look at other options. For example, a Virginia Tech sweatshirt is awesome and if you buy one in fleece or heavy material they’ll keep you warm in Lane Stadium. If you shop for a Virginia Tech sweatshirt, choices are almost limitless. You’ll find them in lots of styles and colors, including maroon, grey, orange, white, and almost anything imaginable. Plus you’ll see them in specific styles for everyone in the family like Virginia Tech women’s sweatshirt, Virginia Tech youth sweatshirts, and a Virginia Tech hooded sweatshirts.
Another common option is going simple with a Virginia Tech t shirt. Of course the weather has to cooperate, but early fall games are often still warm enough to put on a great maroon Virginia Tech t shirt. You can even sport long sleeve if needed with your Hokie t-shirt, and keep in mind if it’s a “Maroon Effect” or “Orange Effect” game day, make sure you wear the color that coordinates with the stadium.
There are lots and lots of other ways to sport out in Hokie gear, a sporty Virginia Tech fitted hat is a common look, a sharp Virginia Tech golf shirt, or even a Virginia Tech blanket if it’s cold and you need to warm up during game watching. I haven’t tried them, but some will even deck out in Virginia Tech pants.
You can never quite guess what the weather is going to do so other ideas to consider are a Virginia Tech jacket, and there are plenty of these to choose from as well. Virginia Tech pullovers, shells, and ponchos are plentiful and can be extremely valuable on a rainy day. You can put one of these around your waist just in case, this keeps you from having to purchase one in the stadium if the weather turns gloomy or cold unexpectedly. We all have experienced Blacksburg weather patterns, and they can be unpredictable.
Whatever you sport, be unique in showing off your Hokie pride, and make sure you cheer Virginia Tech to a big win!
