Helmet Concept

I want to know what was wrong with the all orange and blue stripes? lol

One side orange, one side metallic blue, or some sort of design that interweaves the colors, swirling, some sort of a thatch look.

Sorry for the incoherentness of the above, but it was total stream of thought writing.

id be ok with the Orange one with the big Orange S.

with a white shirt with Orange #s and Orange stripes.

with Orange pants.

I'm not sure I follow. Would it look like this?

Penn St might want to add a logo to their helmet so they are not recognized.

It's questionable whether BC is considered well known but I get your point. Notre Dame and Ohio State have the history to back it up their signature look. Cuse has history but is the orange helmet the signature look of that history? Not exactly.

Again, I just think single color helmets are nondescript... particular when the helmet looks so much like the Browns (meh). You could argue that the signature look of Ohio State helmets are the buckeyes (which are applied after games).

Well, why can't we apply stick-on Ottos on a plain navy blue helmet with one orange stripe down the center?

I agree, I want Otto stickers to add to the helmet.

If we are adding stickers how bout 44s?

I dont understand whats up with the negative feed back. The white helmets arent my favorite but they're a breath of fresh air and something new. The blue ones with otto on the side are sick, we gotta implament a little swagger somewhere to pull bigger recruits. I like having otto on the helm, angry or not, it looks cool. I'm pretty sure otto was voted most obnoxious mascot in some espn poll a while back? And im completly cool with that, lets embrace the little orange son of a bitch and implament him on a helmet. Dare to be different, we should embrace changes like these, even the past changes (all orange robinson era) sucked doesnt mean we should stray away from ideas like these?

Otto on the helmet would make SU the laughingstock of professional sports. You don't put a "Cartoon" looking figure on the side of a helmet I'm sorry.

If we are shooting for something different, how about making the shell of the helmet like the skin of an orange (sort of like Maryland's tortoise shell design) ? Take off the stripes and put the block "S" on the sides.

Then again, I always thought the all white unis with the Orange helmet looked really sharp.

We're not in professional sports. Also, some cartoon figures are cool. I liked the ASU Sun Devil. I like Chief Wahoo. I like the Baltimore Oriole. The Louisville Cardinal is cartoonish. I prefer the KU helmet that has the Jayhawk on it. Just different opinions I guess.

Maybe they should learn how to play football first. The color of their helmets will not make them play better.

How about a Saltine Warrior headdress?

So...should we put a picture of NYS on the helmet? lol.

Sex appeal, helmet, and football field do not belong in the same sentence haha

It's gonna get f'd with. If at least for one game.

There are schools who do not use logos or symbols on their helmets and have successful well known programs (Penn State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan).

There are schools who have a symbol on their helmet and have successfull well known programs (Texas, USC, Florida, FSU, Clemson, Arkansas).

There are schools who have their logo on their helmets and have successful, well known programs (Oklahoma, Nebraska, LSU, Georgia, Tennessee, Auburn, Wisconsin, aTm, Virginia Tech).

There's one school that has #'s on their helmet and has a successful, well known program (Alabama).

I'm not exactly sure if Miami falls under symbol or logo, but they're one or the other, and they have (or had) a successful, well known program.

There's really no right or wrong, it's all personal preference. I liked our all orange helmets of the 80's, 90's, early 00's. I like our current S logo helmet. If we want to be traditional, we'd go back to the # on the helmet, that's the helmet we won our only national championship with. Whatever we decide, let's just stick with it. I do think it should be primarily orange in color though.

How about a clear helmet?
