A very limited number of the game-worn helmets that the Yellow Jackets have donned in some of their most memorable recent victories will go on sale on Monday, May 14.

No! Sell them ALL.

A-L-L

I don't mind the honeycomb helmets once a year. They were truly awful on the jersey numbers though.

think the hex can be peeled off?

 

[GTFowler]

best part about the article:
The white "honeycomb" helmet design is being discontinued as part of Georgia Tech athletics' brand refinement and transition to adidas.

 

[BuckeyeJacket]

Instead of selling 50 helmets for $600, have they considered selling 1 helmet for $30,000?

 

[GT flunkout]

It will be a pretty cool part of GT history. With the added benefit of donating to GTAA.

Glad we are benching these. Probably more about the color that was used than anything else. Guessing we go to a solid white helmet with a Tech Gold GT.

I didnt hate them as much as most. If I had money to burn, I would buy one to add to my wrong shade of everything/ill conceived Tech gear collection.

This is the best news I’ve heard in a while. Hated those helmets.

 

[05GTCorndog]

I never hated them. It wasn’t great but was at least some effort toward branding the product. Have we done anything else creative in 20+ years?

 

[Dirty Jacket]

I'll buy them all if GT promises to never do anything honeycomb ever again. Ever again.

 

[ScionOfSouthland]

This means new adidas designs?

Best helmets ever

Imo, our helmets look a lot better with a white stripe, flanked by 2 navy stripes.

No thanks. Don't eff with our classic helmets.

The single solid gold stripe on the white alternate helmets is a good look though. Or the white helmets from the 2006 Calvin unis.

This style - regardless of blue or black stripes & outlines - was introduced by Carson in 1967 & used again in 1968.

The so-called 2006 Calvin Throwback was the helmet we wore from 1969-1971.

When Fulcher arrived, the helmets reverted to the style shown & uni's to the Dodd-styles of 1967 & before, plus white shoes & over the calf pro-style socks. The lone nit-pick exception that has somehow survived to this day is the use of only 2 stripes on the sleeve/cuff vice the black-white-gold-white-black tri-color.

From the stands, you couldn't see the honeycomb. Even on regular camera shots on TV, you couldn't tell. The close ups, for the sidelines and for the huddle, that's when it become evident. So it never really bothered me.

I loved the honeycomb but did not get how the öööö it was related to a yellow jacket.

Is there some alt liberal world where jackets now are honey makers?

Whose stupid idea was that? I am sure the PJ haters will blame our beloved and 3rd most successful coach who has beat the mutts at least 2 or 3 times in 10.

Chan would have never allowed that bs on our helmets.

Hockey helmets don’t have such trash grafted to the skin.

Have you ever seen a Yellow Jacket's nest?
