I would go back to the drawing board. Like I've said, there is a lot of cool new gear out there that is not traditional but looks good. My main problem is that this looks of poor quality and like it was done on the cheap. Maryland's unis are pretty bizarre, but they at least look professionally manufactured.

Many are arguing that these new unis will  help attract recruits. I agree that sharp and modern new uniforms might help with recruiting. But something that is new and bizarre for its own sake, without any aesthetic merit, won't accomplish this goal. Anyone who thinks we can just roll out anything that is new and strange no matter how cheap and awful it looks and attract recruits because of it isn't giving these young men enough credit. Does anyone think that recruits won't hear the nationwide panning these will receive tomorrow?

Additionally, debuting new incredibly obnoxious helmets is desperate by itself, but against Tulane it's pathetic.

I hope the almost entirely negative response from fans, besides the handful eternal optimists on these boards, convinces the athletic department to hold these back. To paraphrase another fan, I don't think it will be long, or any time at all, before we look back and cringe at these helmets. These might be SU's version of the MLB's 2021 jerseys,
