IceCap Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 So according to HGI Notre Dame's ice hockey team will sport helmets modelled after the new golden helmets designed for the Notre Dame football team.http://www.hydrograp...inished-by-hgi/This has Notre Dame ice hockey following in the footsteps of Michigan and Ohio State ice hockey, who have previously modelled ice hockey helmets after the famous lids their schools' football teams wear.

Lionsault Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 This isn't really "new", as ND has had golden domes for the hockey team for a while:Just an update to what the football team currently wears. Here they are in action: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illwauk Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Notre Dame looks just plain gorgeous.Ohio State, however, just looks silly. That stripe belongs on the sweater, if anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The white yokes on the ND jersey look out of place. Should be gold.

OnWis97 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Penn State does it too.I think ND looks great, but I don't like Michigan, OSU or PSU's "footballization" of the hockey helmets.

Sport Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Notre Dame looks just plain gorgeous.Ohio State, however, just looks silly. That stripe belongs on the sweater, if anywhere.Longtime Ohio State hockey fan here. The stripes sort of are present on their normal uniforms and I think they look terrific. OSU wore the football helmets for one game like ten years and then never did it again. When they finally brought them out a couple years ago I was the happiest boy in the world. I only wish they used larger buckeye reward stickers.With a white stripe Michigan State would also be wearing the hockey version of their football helmets.oh and there's a thread about NHL teams and alternate pants. OSU has home and road pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I disagree. They use the same stripe decals as the football helmets do and because that's what they're trying to emulate, I think it looks perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Using Michigan's design in other sports seems pretty ironic given it's inspired by the leather panel patterns on actual football helmets in use at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The white yokes on the ND jersey look out of place. Should be gold.That was a single-game throwback to a jersey from the 1960s IIRC—for the outdoor game at Soldier Field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_J_H Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Every time I look at their helmets, the more I think that they should make their cage gold too! But that's just me.
