Bustin8 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I get not likening matte helmets, I don't think they all look good, but I don't understand how they look amateur. Not just Andy others have said that too...It's not like youth teams have matte helmets everywhere while college and pros are always candy coated. If anything in other industries matte can be considered more refined and higher end. Not always but you can now get matte black watches, car finishes, etc. and you'll typically pay a premium.Again, totally understand and agree it can look dumb, but I don't buy the amateur statement."Amateur" may not be the best word to use, but in my opinion it makes the helmets look unfinished. Like someone forgot to add the last coat of paint/gloss/what have you.As for matte looking higher end, sorry I don't buy that. Not as far as football is concerned. Just because something (a finish) evokes a certain look (high end) in one industry (watches) doesn't mean that will carry into another industry (football). For the longest time standard gloss has been the "the" look when it comes to what a football helmet "should" look like. When I see a matte helmet I don't think "oh wow, that's high end." I think "that looks off."For me, the only place a matte finish looks proper and professional, are the insides of fenderwells of a vehicle and the rubber hoses used for vehicles and appliances. Matte finishes always look like the person is cheap and can't afford a nice gloss finish. I don't care if you want a matte finish look, it just looks cheap and looks like you can't afford to look good and don't care to. That's just me.Totally. Gross.more like HAWTNot a word.

Squeezee12 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Texas StateI think they need to make the logo bigger... Or add stripes. Helmet just seems plain... Or like you'd see out of a Rawlings equipment catalog.. Maybe it's the logo itself that bugs me. To me these heltmets scream high school.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrosby Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 There is a difference between Matte and Satin finish. The Vikings new helmet, the Seahawks helmet, a few others are satin finish. I agree with most that full matte looks not that great, but I completely love the satin finish over the ultra gloss that is the standard. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I think matte works on a case by case basis. Some designs it looks great, others it's "why bother", and a few look awful. Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Army might be the best example, the matte finish works so perfectly for them.mostly, its what they're doing on top of it that really makes it look cheap. im not a fan of a gloss decal on a matte helmet. im still waiting for someone to do the opposite, matte on gloss. thats what you see in the auto industry since the 60s.

I love the satin finish a lot more than matte, but I have no problem with matte helmets. As someone else said, I have a problem with bad design whether it be matte or not.

MJWalker45 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 It's between San Antonio and Ft. Hood. It's ROTC is well respected as well. Though it doesn't have a direct history as a military school it does have significant links to military units in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an adidas school they wouldn't get this pattern on their shirts and pants from the 2013 catalog. As long as they don't go Sam Houston State's direction this could be a good look.
