New Wazzu Helmets

[Coacher42]

In the pillow fight that is the Apple Cup this year, I see Washington State is wearing scarlet helmets with the standard script "Cougars" in gray (to go with monochrome scarlet uniforms). It's the first time I've seen this helmet--they haven't worn these earlier this year, have they?

I'll see if I can post pics when they are available.

I think its actually a throw back I seem to remember them wearing that around the Drew Beldsoe era.

Nope. The Cougars script has not been done on a crimson helmet. WSU did break out what we termed "the magic pants" (crimson pants with no stripes down the side and the crimson jersey) at home against the poodles from the other side of the mountains in the '92 Apple Cup, but had the silver helmets with the crimson script.
