Why Don't We Have Otto Helmets?

[EnviroSciGuy]

Skaneateles Lake?

Too high class. I was thinking Oneida. Sounds close enough to Onondaga. Like Bouie and Bowie.

Otto helmets would in fact be awesome

No

 

[Jeepers]

This will never happen.

That said, I wouldn’t be opposed to little Otto flourishes on the uniform. Similar to the fort drum axe.

 

[orangecuse]

GO Browns!!

I'll 2nd that!

 

[DoubleDee]

These are awesome. And WKU's collective is doing some creative NIL stuff with these.

Everyone would love Otto helmets. Throw him on some white lids and we would be cooking with gas.

Otto helmets would in fact be awesome

I think the otto I use for my profile picture would look really good on a helmet. I’ve thought it for years I wish they’d pull the trigger on it.

I can’t stand Otto. Or at least the style he has been created in. If we had happy Otto on a helmet, the last 3 weeks would have been even worse losses as the opposition would have beat us down additionally for wearing such a crappy helmet. Might as well wear an orange tutu.

I think a helmet with a tall stretched Otto, representing the skyscrapers of Manhattan, would be great

I just got off the phone with SUAD and they told me that we won't be putting a wolf on our helmets or our court so you have nothing to worry about!

Don’t be so sure:
The issue of an official mascot came to a head in February 1995 when Chancellor Shaw appointed an 18-member committee of students, faculty and staff to recommend a logo and mascot, primarily in support of the athletic program. In the Fall the Committee, which had narrowed the mascot possibilities to a wolf, lion or the unofficial Orange, recommended adopting a wolf as the University mascot. A successful campaign was organized by the students who act as the Orange, and in early December Chancellor Shaw named the Orange, popularly known as Otto, as the official Syracuse University mascot. Shaw stated that he was convinced that the majority opinion on and off campus favored the Orange, and that with the Orange the University retains a unique position in college athletics. (Daily Orange, Dec. 5, 1995)

I’m still mad we’ve got an S on our helmets, let alone a damn cartoon character mascot.

Plain Orange with the blue and white stripes through the middle or bust!

 

[OrangeDW]

Yeah, we should take our cues from Conference USA. NOT.

Mark me down as OPPOSED. NC State has the ugliest uniforms and that ugly wolf drawing on the helmet and on their basketball court. Just horrible.

NC State was the first thing I thought of too!

Never go full NC State.

My girl only watches the games with me so she can see Otto. So she would like this idea.

 

[Domedog84]

Sweet Jesus we need to win some games. Some wild discussion on the board right now.

 

[Offthedome]

We need Syracuse script helmets like the mock up in someone's avatar on here. Every time I see a post from them I think, "Damn, that helmet looks great."

 

[kingtidge]

Never...

Except if it's meathead-Otto from borkowski (and I don't care that it's not football related...)

Is Otto at 44º ?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Happy is the only way for me. Let’s be real, look at Otto, he’s a big plush ball. Angry doesn’t suit him.

That's why angry Otto is so menacing tho!

 

[OburgOrange]

 

[310Pigpen]

I think it would be cool for a one off each year. I prefer angry Otto so I had these made.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Skaneateles Lake?

No...Owasco.

 

[cuse309]

If we did Otto on a helmet, it would have to be the angry Otto, and instead of just putting an actual Otto in the helmet, it would look cooler if you used the orange, roundish shape of our helmet, and just slap on the eyes and angry mouth decals on each side

 

[PAcuse]

We need to use what works well for us (currently not much)
OTTO is a HALL OF FAME mascot, they need to be on everything. Helmets, shoes, gloves, water bottles, Dino's next Hawaiian shirt, butt checks, whatever it takes!!!!

Seriously I do like the idea of having Otto on the side of the helmet and they can be in various stages of depression like us!!!

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Count me in on Otto helmets even if they’re only worn for games where we beat up a cupcake opponent. Otto is part of our branding and it makes good sense to put him front and center (er, on the side).

One could argue that blue line down the middle of the helmet is the Erie Canal …

 

[OttoinGrotto]

We should go full Otto and cover the helmets with fluffy, orange fabric.

Tell me I'm wrong. Just try it.

I love it. Also, our helmets should be super sized Otto heads

It’s OK, some people hate fun. You hate fun.

Just noting who else hates fun. For posterity.
