oldschoolvikings Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I don't care how many helmets a team has, as long as they look good. Ultimately, I think that's what matters most.What bothers me is all these teams shoehorning and distorting their football identities to fit into the trends. Did Michigan State REALLY need that chrome dumpster fire on their heads? How about UNC? Nope. Just trying to be trendy. Matte helmets are cool, but again, there's no reason to start deviating from your "brand," so to speak, to produce one offs. But chrome outside of Oregon can just cease to exist and I'd be happy...Changing direction is fine (like Minnesota, A&M, etc.), but it's starting to get a little out of hand when a team like Duke has like 4 helmets. Come on.Actually, to me it makes perfect sense that a team like Duke has 4 helmets. A real program, an upper tier program, doesn't need all the gimmick uniform nonsense. Teams without a winning history, teams that are looking for a little flash in the pan notoriety and to jump up into the national conversation for a year or two, will latch on to a fad look, ride it for a few seasons, and hope to get a little bump from that. Multiple helmets, new jerseys for every game, ugly colored fields, to me this stuff screams “Duke”… or Maryland, or Ohio U. It’s fine for schools like that.What’s sad is when Notre Dame drags out a silly one-game-only look, or Michigan wears a different nasty road uniform 4 times a season. They don’t need it.By the way… IMO if you want to wear an alt helmet, I’d prefer a dozen white helmets to a played out fake-ass “tuff” matte black helmet. At least white can be seen as a part of the natural color scheme. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaydre1019 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Since the whole multiple helmets and uniform combination thing seems to be gettin out of hand, it'd be interesting to see what would happen if Oregon went back to a classic one helmet look, something like below. Since they seem to somewhat be the trend setters for this whole thing, it'd be interesting to see if other teams followed their lead and went back to one standard look. Oregon might be ahead of the curve and someday soon realize their originality is lacking when every other team has a similar "original" look. It wouldn't shock me to see them one day go back to something like this:If they did do something like this I could see them going with the yellow/chrome winged helmet. And probably that whole fighting ducks set. God I love that set. So nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midway Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Ya know, we have a very good logo package. But anything besides the double T doesn't belong anywhere near our helmets. I hope Kliff is smart enought to know this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Zephyr III Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I do like the bottom left one with the Red Raider since it's still in the shape of a T, so even on a crummy standard TV it would still look like a Texas Tech T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
