I typically don't like all white unis with white helmets but I must say the APP all-whites looked really sharp --- I liked them a lot !!!

I did, also, but it was quite difficult to discern the white block A on the white helmet on ESPN3. That was the first time I seem to recall the home team wearing the light colors at a home game.
Great win!!!!

We were trying to remember the last time App wore white at home. I know we did for the 1st few games
of 1980 under Coach (insert expletive here) but can't recall anything since.

I don't remember us ever wearing white at home. I was a freshman in 1980 but don't recall that. I hope it doesn't become a regular thing.

The white-out did actually get more support than I expected and to be honest, I didn't hate the white uniforms as much as I hated the all yellow ones (last year I think....trying to block it out of my memory). Those were hideous.

I was a walk on, we wore white at home in 1980 until the Furman TV game. Then they broke out the new Black jerseys with names
on the back the coaches had been saving for motivational reasons. Almost worked.

Liked the white uniforms, but I definitely prefer black pants with a white jersey or black uniforms all around.

No one sitting near me, myself included who make out what was on the helmet. Never did see what it was. Of course I'm old!

I was at the game and I had to text my parents watching the game on tv to let me know what the decal was on the helmet.

We thought they looked good on tv. Also was surprised by how much white was in the stands.

Had mixed reactions from friends about the Va Tech uniforms and colors. I liked them. Did anyone see the Maryland helmets? No binoculars needed.
Didn't like them but if I was a high school recruit I bet I would think differently. I'm more and more if the "lets be bold" mindset.

Like Lord Voldemort, one is not supposed to say Coach NotWorking's name on MMB based on previous posts going back to at least the Delphi Forums days when I joined. You joined more recently, so no problems.
