New Helmets Saturday

[RMH44]

it looks like some airbrushed ghetto mall t shirt

Yep...it's hideous.

 

[Jeepers]

Yeah, not what I was expecting.

But figures that the first look we get is a blurry photo that also makes it look purple and pink. I'm even more confused now. (thanks a lot for posting, though)

Where did you see purple and pink?

 

[anomander]

Don't know how I feel about this...would definitely look better with an orange 'S'

there will be a metallic orange block S added on.

possible new jerseys for Clemson

 

[orangeinjersey]

Is it a matte blue fading to a metallic orange?? Not sure how i feel about it. Funny, everyone hated the Block S, now everyone is saying, "Needs a block S!"

not sure just heard it was metallic block S. I assume like the Rutgers R

Maybe with the new helmet this week, we get blue pants , new helmet and orange jersey for Clempson.

Im shocked we got until Friday afternoon without a leaked pic. With the social media and camera phones around, Ida though there would a been a pic when Nike was in town

I bet we see a Miami like Pro Combat uni for Tulane or Clempson. Replace green with Navy

Best description here.

This thing is awful. I'm not part of the "get off my lawn crowd," but these look like crap. This is coming from someone who think almost everything Oregon puts out looks fresh and interesting.

 

[Jeepers]

I think people want the block S now because it'll tie the colors together (hopefully).

Personally, I think I would prefer the ombre effect if it were non-chrome. You have double the...fancy stuff. Better to focus on one effect at a time.

 

[SaltineWar]

It looks like they haphazardly combined these two things:

 

[Legendof44]

im all for trying new things..but that isnt even our shade of orange..and its closer to Gator blue than navy blue...looks like our old lax jersey colors

 

[alphaorange]

I don't care for the Jags helmet, but when San Diego State did it, they didn't look too bad.

I think the contrast between orange/blue will make them look a little hideous, but whatever. I like that they are rolling out different looks.

There's also these:

Picture that with orange fading into blue with an "S".

Pass me the Rustoleum...

 

[dollarbill44]

At least the face mask isn't gray. As long as the players like it, then so be it.

I would prefer the orange and blue were flip-flopped (a little blue on the bottom and a lot of orange on top).

 

[alphaorange]

it...make effer's dark candy apple blue with metallic orange flames and call it a day

 

[SaltineWar]

Everyone wants the colors flipped. I just want it not to look like a car with spray painted rust spots.

 

[TheCusian]

Thats ridiculous. I dress like a slob half the time and have more confidence than most people. You know how many district golf tournaments I play in where guys are dressed to the nines and they cant break 85?

The day clothes make athletes think they play better is the day Uconn gets into the ACC.

them by the way.

I'm not saying it's some sort of magic - just that for 19 year old kids image is more important than slobs like us. We gain our confidence from things like education, experience, wisdom, maturity, etc.

All that being said - I know if want to have the thing I'm wearing on national TV to be something I'm excited to wear.

 

[Legendof44]

yea..san diego st has been rockin that look for a while..looks good for them

 

[Frozen]

They have not worn it in 7 years, per http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/
But I did like that look.

[KaiserUEO]

Wow.

Theres a lot fn stupid people on here.

Just so I'm clear, the 'get off my lawn crowd' now covers people who think the Syracuse ORANGE should wear ORANGE and apparently they should've gone to a HS game or watched a couple of college ones on tv??

Interesting premis.

Fn stupid as all hell, but interesting none the less.

So kids decide where to go because 1x a year, a school sells out to Nike?

You know...they can change the uni, without changing the color scheme.

Adding black, grey or white is pretty much a whatever event, but dropping or minimizing the school nickname and color...different world.

Go ahead let the cattle tell the ranch owners what to do.

I say we let the post authors stay for shuts and giggles...but everyone who gave a like should be run off.

I say we let the post authors stay for shuts and giggles...but everyone who gave a like should be run off.

I think we should save board purges for far more important topics, like 'cooney' v. 'coney'.

 

[Cadillac]

Has anyone said they don't care if we wear pink and green as long as we win? Or implied that caring about this makes you a woman?

I mean this is a sports message board and we really should get that out of the way.
