Nike held a press conference this morning in New York to unveil the 2010 Nike Pro Combat uniforms, and the latest worst-kept secret in Virginia Tech football was revealed: the Hokies will sport all-black uniforms Monday night when they kick off at FedExField against the Boise State Broncos.These new uniforms, which are supposed to be 37% lighter, have been made for Alabama, Boise State, Florida, Miami, Ohio State, Oregon state, Pitt, TCU, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.
Some changes have not received a warm welcome; take for example the Gators Nike Pro Combat uniform, which is heavy on alligator skin. This is a detail that distances from a more traditional design for football teams.
Other uniforms that have received notable changes are the Buckeyes uniform which puts them a red helmet not used since the 60s, and the inclusion of black in the Hokies uniform, a color they have not used in a century!
