Someone should be fired
Ugh.
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."
There's no way to describe 'em better.
literally
the funniest thing I've seen on this site ever.
+1000
I think you said it all.
makes me want to eat turkey
How they look with the uniforms.
No.
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?
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.
meh ... not a big fan rather
meh ... not a big fan
rather go with this if we're doing something different.

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
Yes
something along these lines...
This actually made Yahoo headlines...
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. . .
nah I think hokie tracks are alright. for one game at least
I would much prefer those helmets to ours.
How the players feel about them.
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)
V O M I T
One word says it all....
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
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!
We have officially been out-uglied
Check out the new ND unis.....eeewww!

Obviously, someone at ND looked at Maryland's unis last year and thought..."Wow!..I bet we can do better than that!" The golden domers are scheduled to wear this against Miami.
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.
