So they're going to commemorate the 75th anniversary of hosting the 1942 Rose Bowl against VT on November 5th, and in part of doing so, they'll be debuting the following Battleship Grey helmets....
No word on if VT will break the Foghorn Leghorn helmets out of mothballs to help complete the matchup...

maybe hokiestone?
If the blue devil wasn't on there those helmets would be pretty sharp
So a plain grey matte helmet?
I honestly would appreciate the simplicity. I like the MV7 era jerseys so much more than what we have now.
I would laugh hysterically at this if we didn't have those god awful foghorn leghorn helmets on our resume
Can someone PLEASE get me a picture of the foghorn leghorn helmet. A bunch of different pictures come up when I google it and I'm young so don't hate me for not knowing!
Foghorn Leghorn steroid hokie would whip that stupid looking blue devil's ass.
I've never found these to be as egregious as the Hokie Tracks helmet that looks like a cross between candy corn and a fresh poo.
For comparison:
So if I am looking at this correctly, the blue devils will hand us the W...
WTF is that thing?
Since it's made to look like an image actually used by the 88th ID, its kind of a cool way to honor them.
There are much, much better ways to have executed this...
What they ended up with just looks.... it looks very, very amateur.
Agreed, I love all things uni related and this is up there with the Louisville cardinal sketch helmets...just. bad.
Like, say, simply making this the logo on helmet
Exactly. The logo looks great as a whole.
I the helmets are so light it feels like they're wearing...
nothing at all.
STUPID SEXY FLANDERS!!
Dammit. Beat me by 40 minutes
Ahh, so close
Must have dropped the helmets off at the intro to art class with a bunch of sharpers.
Yeah, at the local middle school. The dimensions of the pitchfork alone makes me cringe.

I'd like to think Elmer's school glue was used to stick the logo to the helmet.

These helmets remind me of the mascot of the Syracuse Chrunch(AHL), The Crunchman
I remember a picture of the older version of the mascot in the same pose as the blue devil on the helmet but it was probably 15 years ago and I can't find it so use your imaginations.
This one?
Yeah, that version of the mascot, but I remember a picture with him in the same pose as the blue devil on the helmet only with a hockey stick instead of a pitchfork. I used the new logo because outside of that pose the newer version looks more like the blue devil
Here's his boss
I saw this and instantly thought of The Tick. Just me?
The Tick is immediately what came to mind for me too. +1!
Who is in charge over there?
I don't think they are allowed to use leather helmets anymore.

My initial reaction wasn't favorable, but i like the ideal it represents.
It kinda looks like a superhero from a SNL sketch, but I'm not sure wich it's supposed to be, Ace or Gary.
Definitely Gary...that's the toughest name there is
Maybe the light isn't right. They'd look better in here.
