Four Virginia Tech players had to wear loaner attire from the home team after their own white jerseys disappeared from Bobby Dodd Stadium before Thursday night’s game.
Glennon and fellow quarterback Tyrod Taylor were among those who had to wear white road jerseys provided by the home team. Also missing: the jerseys of two defensive starters, safety Kam Chancellor and cornerback Brandon Flowers.
The Georgia Tech jerseys were altered for the Hokies. In addition to the names being handwritten on the back, the “Yellow Jackets” name across the front was blacked out with a black marker, as was the manufacturers logo.
The Yellow Jackets wear Russell attire, while Nike is Virginia Tech’s official supplier. So, the Russell logo was colored over and the Nike “swoosh” was drawn in beside it.
The Hokies had no idea what happened to the four jerseys. There was no evidence of a break-in to the visiting locker room. A review of video surveillance tape showed nothing suspicious.
heard about that, didnt read the article…that is really crazy. wonder what happened. im surprised that ive never seen anything like that happen ever, in any sport up until this point.
i do. i was watching this game from the bar last night and could not understand why the quarterback had on the wrong jersey… i appriciate the information:beer:
equipment manager should be canned… thats a huge fuck up… so they were missing 4 jerseys… they should have way more than 4 extras packed along with some numbers to put on them… whats happends if one players jersey is ripped off? this ain’t division 3 where the money isn’t there, this is VT… they should have 2 jerseys for all starters.
