Hokies unveil Script Maroon helmets for Louisville game

They actually show the helmets up close a few times in the video, decently snazzy

Nice Blair Witch Project type video

This is going to be great for the ACC.

I am on board, need a mini helmet stat. Not usually a script fan but that is clean

boo this man!

I want MORE script, personally. I think our best softball, baseball, and basketball jerseys involve the script Hokies.

Whoever is running the account is definitely a millennial..OutKast earlier this year and now Blair Witch lol

I'm always down for more script Hokies

I found TKP after two rails from TOTS then walking back to my apartment and re-watching the 2012 Sugar Bowl. I woke up the next day with this username.

This is our third second script helmet this year. I would like a little more variety. I like the script, but I want some T in the V, gobbler, and TECH with VA silhouette alternates too.

Happy to see we finally started using orange facemasks this year. I think they look even better than expected with these uniforms.

There have been a lot of script helmets in CFB this year and I feel like they are a bit overdone. These look nice, but I feel like every weekend I am seeing someone with a script something.

Bring back the fighting gobbler or TV

I do art stuff.

It's definitely the trendy thing right now. Glad it's that and not digital camo.

Just the second script Hokies this year, right?

I think they did the following:

White helmet, maroon VT against SCAR
Normal maroon against Vandy
Normal maroon against ODU
Red white and blue script Hokies against Wofford
Normal maroon against NCSU
White helmet with orange VT against WFU
Normal maroon helmet against GT
White helmet with maroon VT against Cal
And now this maroon script helmet.

Is that right?

You're right the orange script was last year. I've memory holed the last season and a half.

The metallic orange script with the metallic orange facemask is fire.

"Nope, launch him into the sun and fart on him on the way up"
-gobble gobble chumps

"11-0, bro"
-Hunter Carpenter (probably)

Hear me out. Script on one side, Foghorn Hokie Bird on the other.

Fire Whit.

Hot take: We should use foghorn but only for the Poptart bowl where mascots are supreme

I do art stuff.

I'm good with more variety and the script Hokies is a good wordmark that should be used far more often in our branding.

But I do wish it was white lettering with an orange outline.

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

I'm thinking they are just reusing orange stickers from last season's order that they used for orange effect.

If they want to use the script Hokies word mark more often going forward, I bet we'll see a white script Hokies on a maroon helmet one day, just not this season.

The orange lettering also leans more into a Halloween vibe which works for just this upcoming weekend. I agree the white script would look better generally.

Brilliant video with the Blair Witch take. Loved it. The helmet looks sick!!!

Inject this helmet jersey combo into my veins

"The Big Ten is always using excuses to cancel games with us. First Wisconsin. Then Wisconsin. After that, Wisconsin. The subsequent cancellation with Wisconsin comes to mind too. Now Penn State. What's next? Wisconsin?" -HorseOnATreadmill

Script is ok (I can generally take them or leave them), but I can's stop staring at the gash in the maroon paint below the O in Hokies.

I don't know what kind of lighting they have in the tunnel, but it makes the helmet look a terrible shade of marron at the 51 second mark, and completely different than the out in the open shots.

Nice helmet design.

Absolutely terrific "blair witch" style announcement for Halloween week.

I like it.

Wow, I bet the new helmet will help tech defeat Louisville

As a Commanders and Hokies fan, I am excited to at least see my teams get beat in cool uniforms this weekend.

LOL. Samesies... (Cries)

What a savings

"Nooooooooooo!"
~What happened?
"James Franklin to Virginia Tech...."
~Fuck me......*sigh*
"Oh my God.... They're gonna take all our recruits... like WTF bro...."
~*squints eyes in disbelief*

Good stuff!

Better to look good and play lousy, than to look merely ok and play lousy.

On TV they really needed a white outline on the script. The facemasks were awesome though

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

I thought those helmets looked great.

Better in the first half, when VT was playing well.
