andrewharrington Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think that silver helmet looks terrible and very 90's-ishI'm with you man I don't like it at all. Looks forced.It's really starting to annoy me. The gray has got to stop. It works very well for some teams like Oklahoma State or even West Virginia but this is bad.It doesn't work for those teams, either. Oklahoma State is orange and white with black trim. West Virginia is blue and gold. Gray should never be either of these teams' primary color unless the school changes its colors.

thespleenenator Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 EMU may be getting new duds(I like the matte gray helmet)That white helmet is beautiful. The grey helmet is beyond stupid. Like I said, some schools can pull it off, others can't. Even though EMU did wear silver for over two decades, matte grey isn't the same as silver. Also, green and grey do not look good together in my opinion. That being said, I'm glad they got rid of the green helmet. Now if only they could come up with a better logo than just an E... Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If they work silver into the green and white unis, then that helmet would look pretty nice on the field. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What random color or style divorced from any association with school traditions can we expect Phil Knight and company to propose next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I would think they'd keep it but just try to tweak the cut somewhat. Michigan actually looked decent in their Sugar Bowl uniforms but they still need to figure out how to fix the sleeves. And black numbers on a dark green uniform is just a horrible look. And lets hope they avoid the practice of slapping the new MAC patch on the front of the jersey and placing the old flash on the nameplate. I think every adidas MAC team without names on the jersey did that this year. It looked crappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 But as has been discussed already, it looks like it's half-orange and half-blue. That orange looks like it extends all the way past just a center stripe. There's no way Florida would take the field wearing something like that.
