When I first saw the picture, it looked very South Carolina-ish

Bleeding burnt orange and chicago maroon

That was my first thought also but the more I look the more I'm ok with it.

Wet stuff on the red stuff.

I like it, but wow.

I have no idea why my username is VT_Warthog.

Arkansas blew a 24-0 lead in the Belk Bowl.

I'm very ok with this.

The stripes are such a great touch

I really like this helmet. Do we know what jersey combo we are using with this? Would certainly look very good with an all white or a white jersey, maroon pants combo.

My hot take is that they're hot.

Honestly, there aren't many helmets we've done that I didn't love. Forest camo and the Foghorn Leghorn are the only two I'm not a big fan of.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

I'd add Hokie Tracks to that list of "why?" helmets.

It is indeed Hard Tough and SMART = Arkansas helmet and the traditional Hokie lid would make for a lot of red tones on the field.

Tweedy can run like a dadgum antelope or whatever. I like to use scalded dog. Do antelopes lumber? Cheetah, OK. He runs like a cheetah. He's fast. - Bud Foster

Looks like a bad version of Auburn's to me.

What's so bad about it

Maybe "bad" wasn't the proper word. Other than the tapered stripes, it looks like Auburn - I don't care for the tapered stripes.

It's the same VT and stripes we've used all year I think, but the maroon application does resemble garnet & black sans uniform.

The orange and...whatever color it is...have far more contrast than garnet & black.
