tj4eck Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Don't know if this had been covered before but Texas A&M is wearing white helmets today against Arkansas.They are wearing it with their white jersey and white pants.I think it looks stunning.

raysox Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Could just be to avoid confusion with the Arkansas jerseys @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Looks good, but why? Any Gig 'Ems here know?From an ARK blog:"This marks the first time since the 1978 season that the Aggies have worn white helmets. According to pregame notes, the team wasn’t aware of the change until they arrived in the locker room tonight."Hog Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerX Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Yeah, they wore white helmets in the 70s. I actually kinda like them. Sherman did the same thing last year when he brought out the grey pants vs. Texas. Didn't help them then either, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 As a guy who's been watching A&M all my life... Geez, I don't like this at all. That maroon helmet is part of my childhood. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!I think the last time I had seen the white ones was when they played in the Independence bowl 2000 or 01.I would have to pull out the DVD to make sure.

I saw that Independence bowl, it was snowing like crazy, and they wore maroon helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 The next time they want to wear these helmets, they might want to tell the team. It looks like they were so confused by wearing them, 47-19 loss. I don't think we'll see these anytime soon, and it looks like we won't be seeing much of Mike Sherman too much at A&M.

batman1211 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I really like the white helmets on A&M. But as a disclaimer, I am partial to white helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 In that 2000 (or 2001) Independence Bowl, it was Mississippi State that changed to white helmets, right? Or do I have that backwards? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Zero Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 For some reason, I'm really digging the white helmets. They probably need to move their pant stripes to the helmet and ditch the black in between the two maroon stripes, but I think it's solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I though the pants stripe was the only good thing about this combo. The helmet is a whole lot of meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
