So, are they trying to make it look like a bathroom floor to symbolize being walked on?

I do not get it.

The link explains it but I still don't like it.

At least Maryland has competition for worst helmet design.

Man, so many people hated on Maryland for those helmets. I really liked them, the contrast was perfect. I know i'm in the minority tho. Maryland's flag helmets > GobbleStone.

You are. I still think these are worse than Marylands...not by much though.

The only thing that'll help these helmets out is that the Hokies are known for wearing some odd helmet concepts. Some will love them and others will hate them, just like most Hokie helmets that don't have the VT on them.

I'm usually cool with new unis/helmets, but I don't like these..

That's pretty fucking awesome!! I actually like them...it's waaaay different than anything we've seen before.

Just fwiw, that isn't the final design or anything....it's just a concept at the initial stage of design. I say they do an all black uni with the gray hokie stone pattern on the "VT" of the helmet and in the numbers/emblems of the jerseys. VT's original colors were black and grey until 1896 because that was the principal colors cadets wore at the school back then. The black and gray could be a kind of "throwback" and pay homage to all of the nice architecture around campus.

That would be MUCH better imo.
