Vad Lee is probably going to transfer because of this. First the redshirt, now shutting down his twitter.

That's super lame.

GT has gotten a ton of buzz in the press over this. This would be viral marketing at its best.

+1. Leaking those pics has gotten the attention of the average joe around the nation to tune into our game just to see what we might be wearing

tweeting pics from the locker room is against CPJ's policy, apparently.
 
James Franklin wouldn'tve banned it. :cool:

more good press for the helmet:

The University of Oregon is known for their outlandish uniforms, but it looks like the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are going to give them a run for their money. Maybe not with the green-on-yellow-on-black jerseys, but these awesome honeycomb helmets.

This picture was actually tweeted out by backup QB Synjyn Days, who indicated that they'd be wearing these on September 3.

He took it down right away, so it looks like these were supposed to be a secret, but some Georgia Tech bloggers snagged a screen shot before it disappeared.

Personally, I think they're pretty awesome. That having been said, a lot of teams have tried uniform tweaks and they haven't gone all that well. Kudos to Georgia Tech for doing it right.

What do you think of these honeycomb helmets for the Yellow Jackets? Good idea, bad idea, or indifferent?

Seems like all of the sports blogs are praising the design. That's rare for a uniform change.

For my 1,000th post, what other than a uniform mockup? Here's what the helmet will probably look like:

My initial reaction was that it was hokey (pun intended) and kind of lame, but seeing it with the GT logo, it's kind of cool for occasional use.

Also, it looks like this company may have been responsible, and though you can't tell in Synjyn's picture, the lines may be gold.

The line are gold but that is not the same helmet. Our white will have a hex pearl 3d affect
