Honeycomb?

[GTChE92]

Why honeycomb? Don't we get belittled enough being referred to as "the bees"?

For those who have never seen a yellow jacket nest...

When those are hidden in the grass, running over them with a riding lawn mower is NOT fun!!!

Looks like they are ready to attack! #TogetherWeSwarm

To the question asked by the OP, "Honeycomb's Big! yeah, yeah, yeah"

As pointed out above, yellow jackets do have nests with the comb pattern. They do not make honey, however, and technically their nests are not called "honeycomb." That said, I don't think the Georgia Tech pattern has officially been called honeycomb or anything. That is just how it is referred to colloquially. Nerds we are, some fans prefer the nomenclature "hexacomb" to be more accurate. Sting 'em Jackets!

We might get more respect with the pictures on our helmets.

Or a few jackets in the opposing helmets!

All the youngsters love 'em, especially the players. Gotta get with the times, old man.

Well maybe they wanted to avoid an all-white helmet look:

I like the helmets, and all of my SEC friends say "you guys should wear those every week, those are pretty nice." I think the players like them too, so why do we care? Look good, feel good, play good.

I think they look sharp, wish we broke them out a little more often (maybe use them once home and away each season). And on your last point, I don't give 2 Fs if people call us the bees. First option is just get thicker skin so these kinds of things don't bother you, if that fails just punch em in the mouth.

We wore them quite a bit last year

That's honestly terrifying.

Don't mark me down as a lover of the second one. Blech that jersey (I like the helmet).

The right shade of gold has always been an issue. But that aside most GT fans adore the traditional uniform look.
