The Hokies will be going with all-orange with white helmets for their noon showdown with the Boilermakers. This seemed like an inevitable combination given the fact that this is the Hokies' Orange Effect game though the weather forecast may make that a smattering of poncho colors throughout this game in the stands.
Tech has had some very good recent success with this uniform combination. Per Clark Ruhland's Uniform tracker, the Hokies are 2-0 all-time with all-orange plus white helmets beating North Carolina in the 2021 season opener and Liberty to end the 2022 season.
In some ways, it's a little surprising that we haven't seen the all-orange with white helmets more in Tech's history though orange pants haven't been very common historically for the Hokies till recently.
