Virginia Tech announced uniform combinations for the Hokies' final two regular season football games. Tech will wear all-black for Saturday's game vs. North Carolina, and a retro kit at Virginia on November 28. The black helmets feature an orange No. 25, the number Beamer wore as a player, on one side, and the VT logo on one side.

For Frank Beamer's regular season finale at UVa, a maroon helmet, white jersey and maroon pants combination will replicate the Hokies' road look from Beamer's inaugural season in 1987. The photo below via hoosfootball.com is from the 1987 Virginia Tech-Virginia game. If the photo is accurately dated, the uniform color combination is slightly different than the one Virginia Tech announced.

According to the release, Beamer approved his players' uniform suggestions.

"My goals for these player have been the same for decades," Beamer said in the release. "I want them to get a quality education, have a positive experience and mature as people in our program. This has been a very responsible group that has worked extrememly (sic) hard. They haven't asked me for one thing this season. When they approached me and asked to wear the black uniforms for our final home game, I had no problem with it. If it makes it more fun for them, I'm good with it."

"We've been waiting all season for a chance to wear these uniforms," said defensive end Ken Ekanem in the release. "This is a perfect time. They're special uniforms, and with this being Coach Beamer's final home game it's going to be a special day."

"The look is pretty awesome," added fullback Sam Rogers in the release. "The guys like it and the team is pretty excited about it."
