The Virginia football team will go retro when it hosts Richmond on Sept. 6 in the season’s second week, wearing throwback uniforms and helmets to honor 10 years of Cavaliers football from 1984-93.
Those UVa teams won 72 games and the school’s first ACC championship, earned a No. 1 national ranking and participated in six bowl games. The 1989 ACC championship team will be honored at halftime.
“This will be an exciting day at Scott Stadium,” said Jon Oliver, Virginia’s Executive Associate Athletics Director. “We are looking forward to recognizing a special era of football at Virginia and to showing how much we appreciate those players and their accomplishments.”
The throwback uniforms and helmets will be available for purchase online at VirginiaSports.com.
