The first tweet makes it look like VT football is calling for snow during tomorrow’s game.
We all love Hokie stone. But…as a graphic, it looks like something went wrong with the screen printing, leaving white lines everywhere. As stated below, stick to our school colors. Is that so hard?
depressing
Let’s go all out. Put an “O” the helmet and have a different uni for each game. Use all of the colors. Just because Alabama and most schools have the same uniforms year in and year out, shouldn’t matter to us. This is what happens when the rats are in charge of the cheese.
Looks like to me that the negative responses are from the ancient Hokies, the players like the changes ( just ask one ) also I am sure most of you are upset that the Hokie Pokie is going away.
How in God’s name do you know the ages of those who are not thrilled with the helmet? Your reference to “ancient Hokies” is uncalled for. Suggest in the future you confine your comments to the helmet (as we did), not insult those who helped put VT on the map.
When did our colors become gray and white? Stop messing with our school colors and the helmets!!! Is this what our Hokie donations are paying for? I guess we should be thankful that the godawful turkey is not on there.
Maroon helments only”’………….we voted on this lAST YEAR
Guess I am too old and a traditionalist—Hate that new helmet and do not like the Hokie Stone at all. Why not stick with the Maroon VT with maybe some Orange trim. Those are still the school colors Right??
not bad …
could we make the VT outline and flanking solid “con-trails” maroon?
could we move the “acc” from the middle, helmet front to back.
keep the ‘Swoffie conference’ on the backside (where it belongs).
Go Hokies!
The “White Walkers” helmet, love it!!
More like “Ghost Riders.” not a fan of it.
