Suggestion for new helmets

Helmet
With all of the poorly done helmet designs of late, when are they going to use something like this? ODU has already used it but I think it is about time that we use something similar as we are THE football program in Virginia. Don't get me wrong I would love if we went back to the '00 helmets and only wore those going forward but if we continue this trend we should at least do it right.

How about we just wear one helmet for the rest of eternity

I would agree that would be ideal, in all honesty I would prefer it that way.

I'd like to see a green helmet that says "save stadium woods" on the sides and has a "buy eat live local" bumper sticker on the back.

Not the bagman VT deserves, but the bagman VT needs right now.

The only thing I dislike the the commonwealth is backwards. Otherwise it's not bad. Hard to go wrong with orange and maroon.

The chrome math emporium helmet isn't bad. I do like how some of the helmets we bitched and only though would be fantasy (pink Oregon helmets, Hokie stone) came to life. Crazy.

Yeah...why is Virginia backwards?

Anyway, we did something similar a few years ago:

Also, the HokieVision logo has the HokieBird inside the outline of the commonwealth. Only photo I could find:

And those were throwbacks to the early '70s. Random side note, after several Hokie decals withered on my car, I picked up these helmet decals off of eBay, and these things are built to last.

I was drunk last night and it seemed like a great idea. Woke up this morning, and was like why the hell is it backwards.

Ha soon we'll have helmets with invisible paint or we'll be creating LCD screens that wrap around the helmet to show highlights while they're playing. Imagine that you're about to be hit and the eye of sauron shows up on Kyle's helmet. Or you're about to catch a hail mary and Kyshoen's GT hit is replayed in his helmet. Or if lasers are projected out of Sam Rogers helmet, destroying everything in his path.

I will drop everything that I am doing with my life to turn these into things.
