TFoA Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 If that lettering is black then it's a downgrade. It would've looked better in green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oz615 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 If that lettering is black then it's a downgrade. It would've looked better in green.It green,it's probably the bad lighting that makes it look like its black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelluvaDesigner Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Looks a lot like TCU's silver helmets. I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech and a helluva... designeer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Like. I prefer letters to mascots on college helmets. The combination usually works too.

rtrich11 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 They had helmets with a shield design not too long ago. UAB across the top part and the dragon coming out below. Those were the best. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjm Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I like these. It makes UAB more easily identifiable, since let's face it, they're not on TV every week. Plus the dragon head is cool and keeps it from being an overly plain helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 If you can't beat 'em...copy 'em?All in all, I like it. I'm a huge fan of block lettering.

dwboiler Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 That's a good point about the fact they're rarely on TV, so it would be good to have the name on it. I just always felt the LSU helmets looked jumbled and I think this will do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballfiji Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 If you can't beat 'em...copy 'em?All in all, I like it. I'm a huge fan of block lettering.But ironically, they CAN beat them (or at least, they could) in 2000 Plainsman Parking Lot.

sacker12 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 This could take a while to get used to, but I think that I'll like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Wolf Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Looks better than the old helmet but there's still something I don't like about the dragon itself. I feel like that part needs a bit of a redesign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman1211 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I really like the dragon design and really liked it alone on the helmet last year, but this is OK with me. Most of the teams in the conference use the school initials in some form on their helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerws Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Not a bad look. I liked the shield better but this is not a downgrade IMO. The sorry template is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 That Dragon needs more majesty... and a beefy arm.

statebully Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I've always like LSU's helmet look, and I believe this is an upgrade for UAB. As someone has already stated, they are not exactly a household brand around the country. The added lettering helps I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
