I am a HUGE Tech fan and I can say, without a doubt, these are the UGLIEST helmets and uniforms!! I thought last year’s “technological” ones were bad — PLEASE — the feet on the helmet?!?! Please Nike — give us back some of our pride and stop trying to turn us into looking like the Oregon DUCKS!

I’m really loving the theme/design of your site. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A number of my blog readers have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari. Do you have any suggestions to help fix this issue?

In reply to Derek J. Pelton. Derek J. Pelton, Delaware and Michigan are actually copying Princeton. Look it up. I hate the camo(overused) and the tracks.

I’d prefer the white helmet that had the standard “VT” insignia on it instead.

Love the camo helmets (they scare liberals), but those white helmets look like they were created by a retarded ten-year old. Mr. Hankey?

The maroon helmet is perfect. The other 2 SUCK! Still, the worst helmet I’ve ever seen is either the Maryland state flag thing or Oregon’s mirrors at the Rose Bowl. Or the Jaguars glitter with the teal tongued half asleep Jaguar. Or the amatuer cursive writing “Gators.” GO SEMINOLES!!!

If VT has to feature one signature body part from its mascot on their “whiteout” helmet, shouldn’t it maybe be the (missing) part that makes it a neutered turkey?

The horror. Stick to the one in the middle and forget about tacky camo (trailer park trash appeal) or the plain ugly chicken feet. Or try an orange helmet if you want to be different.

They should use the white helmets they had with their 09 Nike Pro Combat Uni’s But these helmets are odd but kinda cool i guess…

Those are awful! Other awful ones are Penn State’s boring blanks, and Alabama’s individualized numbers. Give me a logo any day.

Copycat helmets. Same color/design scheme. We need originality. Worst I think are the U of Delaware Blue Hens helmets are just like the Michigan Wolverines.

Def my least favorite helmet.

In reply to Jeff Sch. Wrong, the traditional helmet (the one in the middle) is much better than the turkey tracks helmets.

Those helmets with the birdlegs on them are just horrific. Whoever thought of that idea should be fired immediately.

it’s bad but i don’t think bottom 5 of all time.

not a fan. first, if they are tracks then shouldn’t one be the mirror image of the other? this turkey appears to have two left feet…or maybe right. whatever.

my bigger complaint though, the feet don’t really appear as feet to me until closer inspection. i imagine a lot of people watching the “white effect” game and thinking “why are there arrows on their helmets?”

The Turkey feet is the best helmet of those three. Teams really need to turn away from the dumb “intimidating” concept. No one has ever been intimidated by a teams uniform. No matter if it may be a black uniform and no matter how foggy and back lit they make the promotional photos.
