this was look,at home games in the early 60's. csonka and little years. could be a big game for dungey and strickland!!!! this is as close as i think we get to classic colors. what do you think orangepaI really like this combo.
We don't have a matte orange helmet...*Its also worth noting that the orange matte helmet is great.

The helmet in the video looks prett matte to me.We don't have a matte orange helmet...
Until they get rid of the block S... the ghost of Doc Hollywood lives on.
Everyone prefers the block S over the SJ. The issue is that the traditional orange helmet and stripe was a classical look that people knew repped syracuse. The block S has been recycled by many schools.I like the block S. Way better than the SJ logo they tried under Gerg. Not everything the Doc did was bad. I'm no Doc lover but he did alot of the things Jake claimed could never be done like the field turf. We'd still be playing on AstroTurf if Jake was still in charge.

Logo is a better way to brand. I still see the Browns helmet used *as their logo* and cringe.
New helmets are better, IMO.
I’m not advocating for throwbacks in the purest sense. I like the new modern helmet and facemask structures... I even prefer the shimmer over the matte look. And I’m pretty comfortable with all the other uniform variations even though orange white orange is my favorite combo. We just don’t need a block S to modernize the look, though. That decal so commonplace. Give me a different S style if we have to keep it. Otherwise get rid of it. Stripe take or leave it.I assume you mean this...

To me, it's dated. It's gone from classic to throwback at this point. The helmet is boring. Does any other school except PedU still use the solid color/stripe combo anymore? I don't want to be the one school that copies them at anything they do.
It did occur to me after posting that OSU still uses that old design as well.

I like the helmets but they are not matte. The blue helmets are definitely matte finish for sure.https://www.rvinyl.com/Shared/Image...Film-Wrap-Orange/Orange-Matte-Vinyl-Wraps.jpg
I'm not seeing a difference between the matte orange that comes up when you type 'matte orange' in google, and the top helmet.
I guess we can argue semantics, but it's not like we're taking the field in this:

And call it whatever you want, I think our orange helmets look good.
