WSU151 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Take a breath. Welcome to the boards, where we correct each other all the time. Nothing personal. The Nuggets were the Lakers' opponent in the Western Conference Finals in 2009. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

I can't see anywhere on the helmet where you could put a logo without it looking cluttered. Especially for teams with different-colored facemasks from the helmet. Maybe it will be a blessing in disguise. Teams with oversized and cluttered logos will end up switching to something simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I take it your "80" number was intentionally inflated for the purpose of poking a bit of good-natured fun at me for what might be a lack of alternate chrome helmet distribution knowledge on my part?)

MJWalker45 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 1 hour ago, BroncoBuff said: Got that link yet ... cause there's what, 119 FBS schools? Don't have all the schools but in the Big Ten these teams have all worn chrome in some shape or form: Illinois (logos and striping) Indiana (chrome helmet and chrome striping and logos. And mask) Michigan State (helmets, logos and masks) Ohio State (logos and striping and mask) Purdue (logos and striping and mask, even had a social media decal) Rutgers (helmets, logos, striping and masks) Big 12: Baylor (multiple helmets, logos, masks) TCU (helmet, logo and mask) Texas (logos) Texas Tech (logos and masks) I did a quick search at the Helmet Project for these two leagues so there is a repository to track it. And with Coastal Carolina a provisional team this year there are now 130 FBS teams this year, though only 129 can qualify for bowl games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBuff Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Which is the one bowl-ineligible school? (Please don't say "Colorado" to be funny). How about that ... well, the people up here, the TV sports and papers, they THINK they were the only one (or perhaps the first one). WHere the heck am I when all these teams wear chrome helmets? BTW WSU, my tone is just deadpan (poor deadpan), I'm good with whatever's accurate, factual, on any topic (and please don't say "it's factual" that the Nuggets multi-color skyline logos suck to be funny). BE-CAUSE IT'S AN OPINION! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I don't know the exact width of the Flywire collar but is it possible that it is no longer allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the collar and cuffs on those jerseys are over 1 inch, this may see a changeover to the Vapor Untouchable or Mach Speed templates. I wonder if this only counts for contrasting colors though. If that's the case then they won't require new jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Coastal Carolina. In your first year of transition you aren't allowed to play in a bowl game. Idaho just got off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 80 other FBS teams have a chrome helmet. and even if it was unique, unique isn't always good, and in this case it definitely is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think his point was fairly clear. Who knows what the actual number is (and quite frankly, who cares), the fact is that chrome helmets are not unique in the slightest (they might have been 5+ years ago), and you are definitely in the minority when it comes to favoring chrome helmets. I don't think any of us will mind if you sit back and lurk a little longer. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
