That's straight out of a nightmare.

I bet it'll make us appear very fast on TV. That'll be cool!

SEC speed fast??

Yikes, GTL has a point, it looks like a golf ball...

It resembles a golf ball pattern more than chicken wire.

Compared to the flat black ones, these suck. Pretty disappointed with the look honestly. Don't think any additions could really change my mind unless they go with the triple stripe down the middle (obviously not happening) and it pretty much mimics the '06 uva game with a honeycomb addition. Again, i thought the ones posted 2 weeks ago were the best one's i've ever seen.

My only hope is that they are putting these out there and we come out in them in warm ups and then we come out with the flat black ones afterward.

I don't remember where it was said, but it might have been that original article from June where they said we'd come out in warmups in one uni and then come out afterward in a different one.

SEC speed fast??

Actually, the only company capable of putting us in position to hit SEC speed is Russell because they're the only ones tampering with the very laws of physics simply through uniform design.

This is real. The photo is not fake. The helmets are planned only for the VT game as of now. New jerseys will arrive as well.

New jerseys for the whole season or just the VT game?

You ought to see the rest of the uniform before you pass judgement, including the finished helmet (notice no face mask or GA Tech indicator). I can assure you it’s not Oregon, Maryland, or UGA from their 1st game last season…

LMAO I thought the same thing "Could he maybe have used a larger picture?" but by the time I would have posted something it had been changed to that.

Believe many Tech grads just turned over in their graves. Something about Tech and tradition just seems right. This new headgear just seems wrong.

That being said, if it sparks the young men to rise up and knock the stuffing out of Va. Tech on Monday, it maybe a good thing. Would just not desire to see it worn too many times.

Can you crop that picture? Good God man, that dude is like a Sandusky in training. I'm going to have nightmares.

The first golf ball pic I posted was huge, so I changed it to a smaller one.

This is the kind of intimidating presence such an awesome helmet design evokes. It's like a sadistic Jared, only instead of low-fat subs, he wants you to eat an open-faced bug sandwich.

Which is good, because the first one was enormous. I like the second, smaller one, much better.

Lol I don't care who he is or where he works, homeboy needs to back up.
