Slammersman Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I saw this picture on fb today and I thought I would love to have Bama where this. Am I the only one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I think it's up for discussion rather than a personal design. I think if they did it as a throwback game once a year it's fine. But I wouldn't want to see this become the new primary look for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavePunter Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 i agree.. they have a history of white shells, so i wouldn't mind seeing it as a yearly one-off, but wouldn't want it full-time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Outside of the 1984 season, the generation(s) of those who remember Alabama wearing white helmets are many and are dying off. Plus, Ray Perkins went 5-6 in the '84 season when he made the decision to change to white helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheo25 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Bama wore white helmets on occasion in '83 and went 8-4. Was a step down from past Alabama standards. But I chalk '83 and '84 to the slip in Alabama recruiting during Bear Bryant's last days. Bama had a bad year (for them) in Bryant's last year of 1982 with losses to both Tennessee and LSU, two of the Tide's annual foes that hadn't beaten Bama since 1970. So the program was already declining when Perkins got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeJ Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 As a Bama fan, I've been wanting to see the white helmets once or twice a year for a long time. Just a rare alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp49 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I don't want to see the white helmets at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG helmets Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Life-long Bama fan and have wanted see the white helmets for some road games since the 80's (never at home with crimson jerseys). I wrote a letter to coach Saban about this last month. I actually have an inside connection at Bama and will be there in the equipment rooms some time in the next couple of weeks. I am planning on bringing it up with the EQ staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
