VIRGINIA CAVALIERS      (1930-present)     LEAGUE: ACC     LOCATION: Charlottesville, Virginia     OFFICIAL COLORS: Blue, Orange and White

Though blue and orange are the official colors, Virginia's helmets are more or less Navy and we will use Navy as the other color on the Virginia helmet page.
I could definitely use some more early photos of the Cavaliers but for now they are complete. For 2010, Virginia has removed the stripes they have worn since 2001.
Virginia teams are also known as the Wahoos.
