I bet I know what McKayla thinks, but how do you guys feel about them?

What's wrong with them?

I love Hokie Tracks. I love when people have them walking up their cars, etc. I prefer the feet that aren't bumpy all around, but I like these helmets. *shrugs* sorry

I don't mind them. Kinda cool. And white out is stupid anyway. Our colors are orange and maroon. Not sure why we have to play 50% of our home games wearing some other color. So make white out as obnoxious as possible for all I care. Put a butterfly on the helmet.

There are other ways to raise money for charity via uniforms and accompanying t shirt sales besides changing our colors.

Terrible

It's like somebody said "fuck it, let's use bumper stickers."

literally

the funniest thing I've seen on this site ever.

Tell me it's an April Fool's joke

Kill it. Kill it with fire. Take the ashes, bury them in Stadium Woods and let's never speak of this again.

Shoulda Kept the TV ones from last year

Those were the best white helmets we've ever had...

if you're going to go out of the box why not put the fighting gobbler on the side?

It's a Miracle in Blacksburg...TYROD DID IT MIKEY!!! TYROD DID IT!!!

def.

These are little TOO cartoonish. Put the gobble on there if we go away from the VT. From a distance, looks like arrows pointing backwards...

At least it's Austin Peay.

On the other side

Is Hokie bird on the other side?

Thank God

no one will see that, since it will only be VTTV, unless of course a JMU is pulled.

U to the Gly

I don't know whats more embarrassing, playing a bad FCS team or these helmets.

Probably the helmets. Yuck. Guess Nike was busy with the NFL's "new" looks?

would have preferred something more like this

Hmm

They certainly aren't my top choice.

However, when I saw the early photos of the black unis pre-Boise game, I actually thought they were some sort of elaborate internet joke. The black unis ended up looking pretty cool, especially the matte black helmets.

Maybe these will look better in action?

could be worse. . .

I would much prefer those helmets to ours.

How the players feel about them.

Beat Alabama.

well there ya go

the argument for all the zany unis the last few years is that the kids love them, get all excited about them. now our guys will be walking out there hating what they have on and definitely not excited. they could prolly axe whiteouts all together, there's not nearly as much participation as with o/m effect.

They look ridiculous

Hoping the players can some influence to change the helmets! (probably unlikely)

Will they be auctioned?

I know we do the charity thing and auction off helmets from time to time.... if they try and move these, will they even sell any??

best description....bumper sticker helmets

Take the shortest route to the ball and arrive in bad humor.

bumper sticker helmets

They are gonna sell cheap if they get auctioned.

I doubt it. The super old and rich donors will buy absolutely anything.

Different

It's different, it's bold, and it's like an easter egg for Hokie Nation. I love 'em!

What's Important Now

i think that nd uni looks pretty bad ass personally ... DEFINITELY better than that hokie tracks helmet

I agree. The ND uniforms look pretty cool.

Attn Adidas

This is NOT how you one-up Nike.
The little fighting leprechaun isn't too bad, but the rest is.
