It’s a fall afternoon and the Hokies are in Blacksburg to face off in a big ACC football match up. For Virginia Tech alumni and fans, there isn’t a better place to be when the Hokies are playing. The Virginia Tech football game day scene has become one of the best in in college football and tailgating is of course the main activity of the day. But if you want to participate, you need to be properly dressed in the right merchandise to show off your Virginia Tech pride.
You’ve got lots of options. Probably the best outfit for a Hokie football fan is a Virginia Tech football jersey. Choose the jersey with the number of your ideal player, either current or former star player and off you go. The Virginia Tech football team wears a variety of uniforms, but mostly at home there sport maroon, so a Virginia Tech maroon jersey is often your best option. However feel free to put on one of the other Hokie options including a white Virginia Tech Jersey or even an orange Hokie jersey.
If the weather has turned colder, a jersey can still work out with heavier layers, but you can also choose other options. For example, a Virginia Tech sweatshirt is awesome and if you buy one in fleece or heavy cotton they’ll keep you toasty in Lane Stadium. If you shop for a Virginia Tech sweatshirt, choices are almost limitless. You’ll see them in lots of styles and colors, including maroon, grey, orange, white, and virtually anything else. 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 doable option is going simple with a Virginia Tech t-shirt. Of course the weather has to be right, but early fall games can be still warm enough to wear a sporty 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, you have you wear the color that coordinates with the crowd.
There are many of other ways to dress in Hokie gear, a cool Virginia Tech fitted hat is a cool look, a crisp Virginia Tech golf shirt, or even a Virginia Tech blanket if it’s bitter and you need to heat up during game watching. I haven’t tried them, but some will even dress up in Virginia Tech pants.
You can’t really predict what the weather is going to do so other items to consider are a Virginia Tech jacket, and there are a wide variety of these to choose from as well. Virginia Tech pullovers, shells, and ponchos are many and can be very valuable on a rainy day. You can wrap one of these around your waist in case of emergency, 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 choose, be unique in showing off your Hokie pride, and be sure you cheer Virginia Tech to a big victory!
