OT: HornSports OFFICIAL Supercalafragalistic Team Uniform Thread

Now this helmet reminds me of the old Copper Tank bar off of 6th street that opened while I was on the 40 acres. Anyone with me? Dollar pints on wed? Maybe we can make some home brew in this copper helmet.

More palatable than the straight chrome version, but still too gaudy for my tastes.  Yes, I know it's not intended for middle-aged guys.

 

If we do a burnt orange lid, I want it to resemble the white helmet as much as possible.  Pearl finish?  Matte would be okay, too.

NOOOOOOOOOO

 

Agreed...truly awful

Word is, Iowa State, is changing their red helmets' finish - going to matte instead of pearl.  Let's compare.

 

I'm sorry, red just doesn't look good in a matte finish.  Cyclones will be eraser heads this year!

I don't mind the matte, much better than the shiny versions that cause migraine headaches and loss of vision. I guess those helmets could temporarily blind a DB allowing a receiver to stroll to the end zone easier! Agree on the red, the gray matte helmets I have seen look much better.

When shown this pic Charles Omenihu tweeted he preferred the current helmet but would like to see new jerseys. I think its inevitable Texas does a special uniform once or twice a year. Its like wearing a suit when you were a kid. You knew it was a special day and you felt special. Im a 50 yr old man and I admit I like seeing the jerseys the schools break out week to week. I know kids have to. No need to go overboard

though when you already have top 5 uniform

Ugh...new tablet...trying to work out the kinks. Im referencing the chrome LH helmet above in my post.

[BevoBlake 2,093]

I have to agree with J.B. here. Matte helmets tend to look pretty nice but they just don't fit well with that color scheme. It will be interesting to see how the dome looks when it's atop a jersey. I expect the color difference to stick out like a aggie sore thumb then.

I like the helmet!  Cool, chrome red outline of mascot.

Yeah, I like that helmet too.  

 

I absolutely hate the adidas stretch fabric jerseys.  That pattern is just ugly.  Looks like stretch marks or a tire tread.

"Eye of the Tiger" helmets for Stillman College

[BevoBlake 2,093]

I'm not sure how I feel about that one. There is so much going on with the Tiger Eye logo that the Matte Black helmet just makes it look like an unfinished project. As much as I like Matte Helmet finishes, I think this one would have been better served with a pearlescent finish.

Akron's new chrome lids are Zip-tastic!

I hope Louiseville gets to face off against Kansas in the Ridiculous Bird Helmet Bowl played at the San Antonio Zoo. Stay classy.

Call me "old school", but I like UIW's original 2012 helmet best.  New copyrighted logo is clean and sharp...not to mention ornithologically-correct.  Go Cardinals!

The Murray State Racers have a new helmet with checkerboard, jockey silk stripe.  Clever!

[J.B. TexasEx 7,631]

Illinois' new uniform is simple and stylish.  Thumbs up.  Nike did a complete brand identity for the Illini, too http://nikeinc.com/news/illinois-athletics-unveils-updated-brand-identity

Yup. Love the simple, updated look.

Whatever finish the Illini used for their orange helmets should work for UT, too!  Can't tell if that's matte or not.  I guess it looks better under certain lighting conditions?

Holy Toledo!  The Rockets got new UA uniforms this year.

Yeah, I'm on the fence with the matte helmets.

 

Sometimes it looks good with darker colors like black, navy, BU's hunter green, and aggie's maroon.  Other times, not so good - especially red.  I think lighting has a lot to do with its overall appeal.  Guess we'll find out with ISU this year.
