A decal honoring Frank Beamer is added to the helmet for the first game after his retirement announcement. The Virginia outline decal from 2016 makes a return on the back of the standard maroon helmet. At the same time the Corps at Clemson was disbanded. - A slogan used by Navy Seals to never quit. Playing in the Orange Bowl, the helmet features a maroon VT logo and stripes similar to the white helmet. Thanks to the regimental commander, Cadet Rolfe Robertson ’49, a World War II Coast Guard veteran, greater understanding was promoted among his fellow veterans and the Corps continued to grow and flourish. A solid white helmet design is worn for Military Appreciation Day featuring an American Flag VT design with a white-blue-red stripe across the top that tapers and the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund logo on the back.
