If we're going to go with that logo, it looks pretty good. Good bright/bold gold at different places on the helmet.

White helmet? What about the black & gold ones? I don't think we should ever have a white one....I guess it at least has a gold stripe(and letter V)

There's something wrong with the "V". It doesn't look quite right.

I'm digging it - very slick look...I just want us to pick something and ride it out (though there are only a few teams left that don't have multiple helmets)

(side note - still no hats for sale with the new logo, and still about 2 shirt options...absurd)

Wasn’t there something around it?

How many helmet designs have we used over the past 15 years? 50 with all the variations? It makes it look like a program that is flailing, which it may be, but no need to advertise it.

I think it looks a lot like UCF.

Not sure this will be the “usual” helmet, but VERY happy to finally see more GOLD instead of so much black

Still don't like the "V". It looks too much like Virginia's of years ago and the color is getting too close to looking orange.
IMO

I have always been a fan of our Gold Helmets. We have such a great Old Gold color, we should use it. I am not a fan of the new logo at all, and I really do not care for the white helmets. But hey, they can wear Neon Colors as long as they start winning.

Black & Gold is about the best uniform color combination you can find in sports. Why forfiet that with a white helmet? With very few exceptions (Colts, Penn State come to mind), white helmets are uninspiring and boring. Make that hat gold or black with the design presented in corresponding colors and you have a great look. White...mehhh.

This is the most appealing use of the new style V I have seen so far.

Admittedly, this is a very low bar.

But I would rank it in the upper half of VU helmets over the years.

Put that gold V on a black helmet, please.

That's a very nice, elegant helmet but the design is a bit plain and just kind of meh. Vandy uniforms are like the weather, if you don't like them this year then just wait and they'll change soon enough.

Perhaps a contest next year for a new logo (as this one will be dated about a year or so) and new school colors. The alternate jerseys should probably be red or purple. ;)
