When I see Clemson, Auburn, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, etc. wearing all black, helmets included, I may agree with you. But until then . . . As for attracting recruits, none of the above seem to have any trouble attracting the best in the country while wearing their traditional uniforms week in and week out. But Virginia Tech? We seem to be owned by Nike and yes, damage our reputation, by the appearance of our team's uniforms --- especially in high profile, national broadcasts. Enough said!
