Metallic Orange Virginia Tech Helmet Revealed

The Hokies' newest lid style will be worn against the Buckeyes and will have a helmet sticker on the back in memory of Alison Parker and Adam Ward.

Piece by piece, or rather picture by picture, Beamer Ball teased a new helmet on its Instagram account. The nine individual photos combine to reveal a metallic orange helmet with a maroon facemask pumped up by a maroon and orange glove.

Virginia Tech will wear the helmet against Ohio State, and will have a sticker on the back to remember Alison Parker and Adam Ward. Beamer Ball shared the following message on its Instagram account.

The #Hokies will wear a helmet sticker vs Ohio State in memory of Alison Parker and Adam Ward. To their friends and family, and the entire @wdbj7 team... You are in our thoughts and prayers. #VTFamily #WeAreWDBJ7

Virginia Tech wrote the following in a release.

The Virginia Tech football squad will wear special helmet stickers for the season opener against Ohio State on Labor Day night.

Alison Parker and Adam Ward were doing a live broadcast for Roanoke CBS affiliate WDBJ-7, on Wednesday morning at Smith Mountain Lake, a little more than an hour from Tech's campus, when they were killed. The players will wear a helmet sticker that features the No. 7 and teal and maroon ribbons, along with the initials of both victims.

Teal was Parker's favorite color, while the maroon ribbon represents Ward, who graduated from Virginia Tech in 2011.
