I still want to see us rock the graphite helmets as an alternate, regardless of whether it is with the interlocking UK, the power K or the paw print.

During fan day, the players were talking with each other about a new helmet. They were talking like they were told they were going to have a new design and they were trying to figure out what it was going to be.

Seriously, may as well slap a pair of drumsticks on those VT helmets.
Definitely "outside the box" which is becoming more of the norm these days.

I actually really like some of the things VaTech has done in the past and I don't mind outside the box thinking, but not sure about having chicken feet on a helmet.

Looks like a BU helmet (Butt Ugly). Why not just a pile of turkey droppings?

Those are awful. I hope we don't do anything stupid like that. I wouldn't mind the Flat Graphite look one game or two, but don't change our logo!!!!

When your official nickname doesn't actually mean anything (Hokies), and your actual mascot is a friggin' turkey...well, there's only so many ways you can shine that up. May as well own it.
As a Virginia resident, I must say that several folks are big fans of VT continuing to be on the leading edge of uniform design.

With the white helmet, they should put a dripping brown gravy decal on top...
Love them mashed taters at Thanksgiving!

WEIRD!!
Stupid for an awesome program like Va Tech to do that. Their regular uni's and colors look cool enough. Thats a program that I've always thought was pretty impressive. The way they play D and Special teams combined with the athletic QB's they always seem to have. Yet when people talk about the ACC a lot of times they are left out. People wanna talk about Miami and FSU. Va Tech has been the most consistently good program in the ACC for years.

I like em. Quite unique. Way better than the 83 helmets with paw prints & 57 varities with black. Both are worn out ideas.

I fully expect South Carolina to follow suit.

While their coach is a turkey, Cocks aren't.
