oh yeah, it looks great. I think I'm a fan of the 3 stripe look better, but i'm just being nitpicky at this point.
I am generally cool with the new tops on their own. I think the issues with the redesign lie with the lack of accents on the pants and the various uniform combinations.

Testifying
Weird lighting I know, the helmet definitely looks darker.

It makes absolutely no sense to have “white” stripes and lettering on the top and NOT having stripes on the pants or helmet. So stupid.
Agree, hopefully they don't go all Cardinal for any game. That would be an awful look. Another awful look would be white jerseys with black pants. The other C/W and B/W combos are fine with me.

No shoulder or pants stripes for Virginia Tech. I'm usually in the "classic" camp in regards to uniforms but I can admit these are pretty boring.

Wow, a few years ago, when I didn't know what I was doing (still don't but), I played around with two different colors on the jersey numbers. Looks like Va Tech actually did it.

Just a screenshot from a video - but the red looks like it matches the helmet at media days


Looks like a pretty dark cardinal to me.

Yeah, that is definitely Cardinal as it should be, not red.
Compare the red of the Cy plushy on the locker shelf with the cardinal of the helmet and the jersey. Looks like a notable contrast there.

OK, from these recent pics, it seems like the cardinal remains unchanged. That's good!

Now all they have to do is work on their angles and lighting, whenever they do their pics or reveals. Looking back on some of them, they were not great.

We'll have to wait and see.

Putting stripes on the cardinal helmet or pant is not always a "slam dunk, that would look great!" look. It would change the look drastically, and that's fine. Some of you would like that. I might too.

But a c/c/c look with the new jerseys, and the same no-stripe helmet and pant might be just fine. It's definitely cleaner than stripes. It might not be that bad at all, if they wear some white accessories, gloves, towel, socks, etc. Will they? Who knows.

Like I said, we'll just have to wait and see what they do I don't have great confidence that they have someone who coordinates their combos very well.
