GriffinM6 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 The only good chrome helmet is TCU's purple, but even that isn't better than their regular purple, black, or white. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven’t worn these in 7 years but I will die on the hill that they were one of the only ones that looked great in chrome. Probably would have looked like on our red jerseys but they were perfection on the whites. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I wish the Hogs still used that script and those numbers* on their football unis...but I completely understand (though I don't necessarily agree with) why they changed one l over to uber-traditional. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not from that angle, but you could from the front and side: In any case, not sure what these have to do with the discussion of chrome helmets because they were definitely not chrome. As for fully chrome helmets, the Ducks did it best with their original 2012 Rose Bowl lids. Every chrome helmet that’s come after (including by the Ducks) have just been a pale imitation. Not talking about helmets with chrome/metallic accents or decals, I’m talking specifically about helmets where the shell itself is/was chrome. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably would have looked like on our red jerseys but they were perfection on the whites. One of my issues with chrome is in how it effectively changes the appearance of the color it's supposed to represent. I have to assume that Arkansas helmets were attempting to use the same shade of red as on the pants and jerseys. But the shininess of the chrome makes it look like a completely different shade, and therefore is a mismatch with the rest of the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolvikings Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 It’s nice of everyone to drop in pictures of various chrome helmets that “work”… (I’m not even going to dignify the perfection remarks). Seeing all these terrible helmets scroll by just lets me know my initial assessment was correct. 100% awful.

WKU: Kentucky: Pretty much all chrome helmets are failures, but silver ones are the worst of all. It’s literally wearing a mirror on your head I don’t see what’s possibly appealing about that. 3 i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
