WSU151 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Had a recruit commit today and he was holding this helmet, i pray it never sees the field and is just a conceptAgreed. I don't think Cal's secondary bear logo looks all that great on a helmet and the lack of yellow makes the helmet stand out like a sore thumb from the rest of any possible uniform combination.Cal's jersey would look better if the collar wasn't yellow and the pants they have now would have no stripes. Here is a mockup!That would be a significant upgrade. I think even a gold "Cal" on the collar (with a full navy collar) would improve it more. The collar on the current uniform is just terrible. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Sorry if this was already posted but I used the search and didn't see anything. The NCAA has revised its facemask policy for this upcoming season and has banned "overbuilt" facemasks apparently. Interesting since some of the ones banned seemed to be pretty popular and not hurting the game. Example on a WYO player.So these are allowed:These are not:Bottom left of the disallowed has literally 1 additional horizontal bar than the one I wore in HS almost 20 years ago...otherwise it's exactly the same.I get restrictions but a few of those are pretty harsh.

j'villejags Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Here's another helmet from a TCU message board:and someone posted a version without the monochrome that looks at least somewhat tolerable. Also apparently these are just being added to the mix of their set and not replacing what they've had. My NFL concept series (in progress) --ATL, CLE, NE, WAS done. AZ updated 04/21/23.

coogrfan Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Wow those are ugly! How is that a mix of classic and modern? That's all modern. Nike just threw up all over TCU. Yuck.+1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajmccall Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I quite like them. I'd tone down the contrast, but I think TCU should look modern and take risks. Store 1 Store 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lahaye7 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 If TCU would mix in some solid colored jerseys with these pants, it wouldn't be horrible.

TheRicSlick Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Purdue hops on the anthracite band$wagon.No gold on the pants or jersey. Hooray for school colors! Why is it that teams/schools that have traditionally had black in their color scheme choose to add grey/anthracite? Guess blacks not cool enough.

shaydre1019 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Here's my mock-up for those wondering what a little restraint could have looked like for TCU. That woulda been perfect or even just using it for cuff and collar trim if they wanted to change it up a bit more. But as is they overdid it. Really disappointing.

wyopokes2 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Still can't get over how awful this striped helmet is for Boise. I know we've seen it already but this just keeps confirming how bad it's going to look. Oversized B logo with stripes clashes with everything. I think they should stick with the horse head. It makes for a great and recognizable identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlesonicsofsacramento Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 TCU's frog print just looks like camo from afar/game-viewing distance. If they had even limited it to just the gray set and not the purple, I'd have been pretty supportive, but having that be part of your full-time look is a joke.

It makes for a great and recognizable identity.The problems with BSU's uniforms are bigger than just their striped helmet. There is just no continuity to their uniforms, with number gradients, jersey templates, and neck piping appearing randomly to form a jumbled mess of an identity.
