Helmets

[KaiserUEO]

I will not turn this into a giant fight (again). To me it's the most tired and basic opinion: That to emphasize orange, everything must be orange.

If the highlight color is bright orange on a neutral like white, navy, or gray - then the orange pops more and remains the primary color - because it's the brightest. Not the most in quantity - but the brightest and meant as important - due to the blandness of the neutral. Every designer is taught this in year one or two in every design program in the country. I got my degree at Syracuse, and was taught this...

except this is a sport, not the runway or the rack at Macy's.

and for the love of pete stop saying that everything must be orange, NOBODY is saying that.

in sports, we root for laundry.

and keeping the current laundry somewhat in line with what made one root for it in the 1st place, would seem to me to be just a little important.

not to mention it should be important for a school CALLING itself the ORANGE to acutally wear ORANGE.

plus many people are either watching on tv or part of the thousands that are sitting, likely well over 100s of yards from the players so to tell them that the Syracuse Orange are still Orange because the 1 stripe on the pants...pops, or because its the 'brightest and meant as important'...doesnt Fn fly here.

Anybody know if those 2 guys are still walking around New York City in the new unis?

"So many" ???

These are only 2 other schools that use any variation of a block-S on their helmets.

1. Syracuse : plain block-S
2. NC State : red S with the letters 'N' and 'C' inside of the S' loops
3. Stanford : red S (official logo has a tree layered on top of it)
4. Michigan State : no longer uses an S on the helmet

Oh please, lots of schools use a block-S on their helmets. What about?

South Carolina State

West Virginia State

Slippery Rock

Springfield

Susquehanna

I'm guessing he was referring to D1.

Just some info for you guys from the facility intern in me -- The are not detailed yet and decorated with what you see in the dome because helmets often get chipped, scuffed, beat up, bloodied, and all the fun stuff of football. They practice in the helmets they wear on game days to get comfy with them but they get all dolled up during game week

thanks. that answers my questions. however, do everyone a favor and lose the block S strickers so they can't be applied.

...I hope everyone that goes to the Dome wears blue, or white, or gray. Then we'll hear people ask how come there is so little orange in the stands. I know I'll reserve my orange for another day.

I think it's disrespectful when we buy Orange gear and go to the game with a "Go Orange" spirit, only to see the team run out in blue because they think it's cool. I'm sure we all have plenty of khaki, green, red, brown clothes to choose from. Maybe we should just dress casually as we each see fit. Screw the Orange team concept. (Please tell me you recognize the sarcasm).

I would LOVE the 44axe flag on the helmet. It's already on my car so it's fitting
