SE: The Inside Story Behind K-State Baseball’s New Uniforms

If every jersey tells a story, K-State baseball's new retro uniforms don't tell the story of the Chicago White Sox.
 
Sure, the nickname and colored stripes across the chest are inspired by Chicago's look during the Comiskey Park days of the 1980's. 
 
But really, these new threads tell the story of when K-State head coach Pete Hughes went to war with the Virginia Tech Bass Fishing Team. 
 
"The first day we were in Blacksburg, my family and I went down to the college bookstore," Hughes said. "I was like, 'Let's go to the sports section and get some baseball gear.' There wasn't a single T-shirt that said Virginia Tech baseball."
