Georgia Tech students could win stormtrooper helmets at Miami game

Is Georgia Tech setting up its students for Star Wars showdown against Georgia at the end of the season?

The Yellow Jackets are asking all fans to wear white for its home game on October 4 aganst Miami. As part of the all-white promotion, five students have the chance to win "authentic" stormtrooper helmets.

To be eligible, students have to claim a ticket for the game and go to the game. The five helmets will be given away after the game. This website, which claims to make Star Wars stormtrooper costumes from the original maker and original molds sells stormtrooper helmets for approximately $500.

2,500 students will be able to get into the Star Wars theme as well via masks that will be given away at the game. But those aren't nearly as cool as helmets.

We reference an impending Star Wars showdown because of Georgia WR Chris Conley. Conley made a 26-minute Star Wars fan film that took place on the Georgia campus and featured an appearance from Georgia coach Mark Richt. Maybe the sequel can revolve around the game between the Yellow Jackets and Bulldogs on November 29.
