Baylor, Virginia Tech among teams that will change up uniforms for 2024 college football season

The first wave of college football uniform changes is upon us and several programs will don new jersey designs for the 2024 season. At least three schools have released new uniform sets, with more helmets and concepts coming soon.

Players from the two title teams will be honored during the 2024 season for the 10-year anniversary.

The Hokies have not officially released new uniforms as yet, but a few details are confirmed. Most notably, VT is removing the stripes on the shoulders and bringing back a cleaner design…
