I am making some towels for a future Virgina Tech student. I have the Madeira thread poly neon colors. What would be a good orange? I am Not a VT fan. Is there a VT Fan out there??

I'm a fan but, sorry, I can not advise you on the color names.
Best of luck!

We are Tech fans. Both my kids graduated there. Maroon and a bright true orange!! Check the VT book store website and maybe that will help to see it. After the shooting, there was a site that put out a VT in memory of the students and I got it and tried it but it did not sew well. Have fun with the towels for the future student!!

Make sure if you are ordering thread online that you view/compare the school colors with the thread colors online as well. Computer monitors have a sneaky way of changing colors. I have done sweatshirts and blankets for my sons with school colors and their initials.

I always give towels with the name in school colors for college kids going off to school! Just a few less things they have to label!! And they are always appreciated. Usually I can go to the school's web site & see how the colors are..note I said USUALLY! I just know it's not U of Tenn orange!!
