New Helmets Saturday

[llandz]

Like it!!! Now we can have more players on the 17 Magazine "hot list"!!! Cause they will look hot in this helmet!!

New exciting jerseys... bad or great..

Attract young kids to the program.

Anything new, vibrant, and nike is a step in the right direction.

I agree. Time to change everything to attract recruits.

The only thing that matters is the players like the new helmets, uniforms, gloves, etc. They are the ones working their a$$es off to make this program relevant again.

Dam...that's all it takes. I wish you would have passed this along to the administration before they wasted their money on a new IPF.

And while we're at it, lets toss the playbook or at let the QB call his own plays in the huddle.

The talent will be lining up on 81 to sign.

Although we may lose RB recruits after a few seasons.....

There's nothing wrong with alternate uniforms. When you are wearing alternate uniforms so often that it's hard to tell what your non-alternate uniforms are, then that's a problem.

There's room here to both uphold tradition and try some new and different things here and there that the players like.

 

[ImperialOrange]

Can we at see what the helmet and uniform combo look like from the stands and on TV tomorrow before we go ape?

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.

you're the king of the complain about everything committee so why am I not shocked you don't like them.

 

[SaltineWar]

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.

Love this.

I'm not a teenager, but I don't have to be one to know when something looks like crap. And these helmets look like crap. This isn't an age thing, it's a crap thing.

Must be why Penn State is attracting top talent even after the scandal.

No, you're right, these helmets are great. So great that I'm going to track down the designer and get him to airbrush a wizard on the side of my van.

DRAGONFORCE!!!

God forbid you try something outside the box once or twice a season. some of you people are absolutely ridiculous. who knew there were so many fashion critics. if i ever met some of you in person id' fully expect to see you in bell bottoms and cardigans

I think it's tough to envision how the uni's might come together until we actually see them. In sporting events you can have things that aren't photogenic up close but do look good from the stands or on TV. It was the same with the Liverpool kits this year being they look like hell up close but look fine on TV.

Like that "SJ" logo?

 

[retro44]

VT's new "Hokie Stone" helmet.

this matches the degrees that the players are going for...... how ironic

 

[CuseOnly]

I just threw up.

 

[SUfaninAZ]

It would be so awesome if this wasn't even the helmet. Psych!!!

 

[OrangeBlood]

Late to the party, but with the sticker on it, it will look OK. Not what I would want but if it helps with recruiting, i'm on board.

Have the blue pants plus an orange jersey, I think it would look sharp.

I miss the McNabb era helmets. Pure class.

 

[brandokc]

I usually don't care about the unis but man alive. That helmet looks like something from the Midway at the State Fair.

Are those hard nosed helmets? Or candy ass helmets?

Can you imagine if they did them in the Gerg era? They would probably look like a print ad for vagisil .

No, they still look terrible on TV. Plus they don't stop moving so I can't find the picture in the stereogram

Yep. I'd put money on every kid from south beach or NYC totally agreeing with some old guy on what's cool.

Not only that we have actual quotes from actual players who are actually excited to put on the helmets they were consulted with about. So - yeah, they may not be what we like, but "we" ain't them.

 

[GoCuse44]

Changes like the helmets, uniforms, IPF, etc. all help us attract recruits since

Dam...that's all it takes. I wish you would have passed this along to the administration before they wasted their money on a new IPF.

Actually donors like myself helped build the IPF because I believe change is good.
The IPF, new uniforms, new helmets, etc. actually help recruiting a hell of a lot more than showing these kids blacks and white highlight videos of Jim Brown and Ernie Davis from the 1950's.
