The thought that went into the design of these helmets is off the charts. Lets take last year's design, change the colors to ours and make the logo and facemask white. Invent the future!

I know where you were going with it. But at least this makes 1 game dual purpose rather than having 8 different effect/appreciation games during the season.

was more getting at why combine white out with a camo military appreciation?

what's next? "halloween spooky orange stadium woods appreciation game effect-out"

tweeted both of the treadmill ones at him, hope he posts the picture to his account. Charlotte Hokie, if you have a twitter (and provide your username) I'll give you the credit. Not trying to steal your shine, just want him to see the awesomeness.

I'm also curious about uniform changes. Something is definitely going to change given the TV logo has been retired. I'm ready for an entire new design myself. No more striped shoulders.

Well said and I agree. The more "special" uniforms there are, the less each is appreciated.

I'd buy one. Just like I would have bought last year's camo helmet and especially the bowl helmet. I just wonder if the jersey will look like last years only with this orange/maroon camo lettering or how different it will be. Also, am I the only one expecting new uniforms for this year altogether? They did get rid of the old "T in the V" logo which was on the collar of our jersey. I'm hoping for a little change.

Do. Not. Like.

I don't mind having alternate helmets/jerseys as long as they establish/maintain/strengthen a brand identity.

I thought these helmets from 2-3 years ago did a very good job of keeping the VT brand intact while allowing creativity and flexibility with our uniforms. Now they're just trying to get cute.

I don't mind the helmet. It will look better with the right uniform. I also couldn't care less about what we wear as long as we punish some people and win football games.

No. Only way possible to have more uniform combinations than Oregon is to play more games than Oregon.

That said, I am a fan of getting back to having a base uniform, and maybe one or two "special" uniforms per year. As opposed to playing half our games with special ones.

At least we stuck to our colors. And the logo is the traditional VT logo. Those were my two biggest gripes about the uniform carousel... we were veering from any sort of tradition by throwing non O&M color schemes in there and then had all sorts of funky logos.

So this works. Its a way to do the military appreciation thing while still keeping to core VT traditions in terms of colors and logos.

Fine by me
