Frank Beamer, like any good ruler, heard the cries of students and his football team to don black this Saturday against a surprising North Carolina squad in Beamer's last stand in Lane Stadium.

Looks better without all the circuitry stuff, in my opinion. Sharp, clean look. #Hokies pic.twitter.com/Z9288URoYT

The helmets' No. 25 decal is homage to Beamer, who wore the number as player.
It's clean look for sure, and the tributes don't end there. Virginia Tech will wear special "road retros" based on a 1987 look (Beamer's inaugural season) for its regular season-ending trip to Virginia.
The Hokies are currently 5-5. Most college football fans will be cheering for one last bowl trip for Beamer.
