As any regular reader of this blog is probably already aware, Wild Banshee is a huge football fan. And I would consider myself a fairly knowledgeable one at that. But, I am still a girl, so fashion still matters to me. Throughout the course of the fall, I will definitely be offering commentary on out of the ordinary football uniforms. Last year, there was a rash of monochromatic, dark uniforms (Broncos, Bengals, etc.). Not good. There was also a rash of hunting orange (Dolphins, Fighting Illini). Definitely the most hideous uniforms of the year were the monochromatic yellows worn by the Oregon Ducks. Those games were a horror show.
Last night the Virginia Tech Hokies started off the 2004 season in garrish fashion. It's hard to look good when your school colors are purple and orange, but this is just hideous.
Those orange socks are a nightmare. And, it was like 85 degrees out for that game. There was no reason to be wearing any high socks at all. The only thing that makes those socks worse is that orange triangle thing on the bottom of the pants that runs into the socks. The Hokies lost last night, so hopefully those uniforms will not be making another appearance. The nation's retinas will thank them.
