So I follow Tech football on Instagram. And they had some photos from practice. The team was wearing white helmets at his certain practice and I noticed that the stripe is different from last year. Last year’s white helmet stripe had a trail design that got small on the way to the back The helmet in the photos shows a more traditional stripe (reminiscent of our OG white helmets from the 60’s we wore vs Virginia in 2006.) Maybe it’s just a practice helmet and won’t see game action it’s just something I noticed.

Here’s the images I saw with the new stripe.

Yeah from what I hear they ditched that stupid "bee-stinger" taper on all stripes, thank gwad. Also note the stripe and interlocked GT on the white helmet, and the player numbers on the white jersey are a reflective metallic gold, not a flat hue.

If you saw the Tech episode of "ACC Road Trip" on ACCN the coaches' shirts also have the reflective metallic gold lettering on them too.

Y'know, I didn't mind the Stinger design. Main thing about it was I liked having a helmet with the stripe down the middle. It looks super-clean, and bold.

Seeing this, though, I like it a lot better. Definitely think it's an upgrade. Hope to see these helmets a LOT this year. :)

I'm in on any uniform if the players like them and it starts a winning tradition.
