See Red Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 It used to be Gloss Columbia Blue, but now is Metallic Columbia Blue. It doesn't really jump out at you. There are different sizes and densities that are used for Metallic and Pearl helmets. The finer grades don't "sparkle" as much, especially if not under very bright sunlight or stadium lights.Other than UNC, a couple of other examples of helmets that are often hard to tell that they are Metallic or Pearl, except under brighter lighting conditions or up-close, are the Green Bay Packers and Miami Dolphins.Ohio State on the other hand, uses a large and dense metal flake in their helmet (Riddell calls it "Extreme") and it is much easier to see its Metallic sparkle- even in lower light conditions.And yep, Utah is either a Pearl or Metallic. In addition to this, it is also a different "shade" of Red than used in the Gloss Red that KC uses. Ahh... my bad. Well, the UCLA helmet looks noticably different than the UNC helmet. It's a more noticable metallic, and aside from that, I think it was actually a little bit darker of a shade of blue than UNC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football-Fan Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I'll have to check out the game today at 4:00 PM EST to see if that Light Blue UCLA helmet that InTheEnd88 saw the other day is used again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjezioro225 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Some UCLA players had the gold helmet, but I did see one player (Craig Bragg) with the blue helmet.I must say, the blue helmet was AWESOME! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacker12 Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Looking closely at the helmet, it looked like the blue UCLA helmet had a pearl finish on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eqtmgr Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Looking at the helmet in the game today, I liked it. If you noticed, the helmet had two differemt decals on it. My thinking is that they did this to see how it would look on television and which decal looked better. Personally, I likeed the one without the outline.

Thunderstruk Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Yeah I didn't get a real good look at them but from what I saw its quite a departure from their current look. I liked it though. I find it kinda hard to believe though they are considering it. Their current helmet is kinda of cool also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
