Alternate Helmet Released

[Huskyforlife]

These look sick. However the metallic logo won't look great on camera, I believe.

They are for night time games - they glow in the dark

Nice, that's big time right there. The way of the world for you old fogey's like me and what kids love.

I think the silver husky logo would look better with a blue helmet/grey facemask but I'm over 50 so...you know. Our new logo that's bigger on the helmet along the same lines as the helmet one of the yarders put up with the old happy husky would about do it.

Yup...the entire uni helmet alternate look is dope. We are finally getting it. Message to the conservatives on this board - get used to this.

I was about to go to bed since I'm over 50, yawn, but just had to use my last bit of strength to respond to this thread before I nodded off . I also like the new unis, mostly because I think the players will love them. But as someone who's seen a few cool fashion fads come and go since the days of Ike and JFK (blue suede shoes, Naru collars, bell bottoms, Mexican wedding shirts, grunge, gangsta, etc), here's a message back to the not-so-conservatives : sizzle may sell for a awhile, but it takes a great product to keep your customers coming back - - - it brings to my mind Wrangler jeans, black leather jackets, button down Oxford shirts, khaki pants, Converse high tops, Brooks Brothers penny loafers, Sperry Topsiders. Timeless. But what do I know? My old brain is wandering now, losing focus on the topic as it shuts down for the night, that is until I wake up in 4 hours and grope my way to the head . . .

the chrome face mask might hinder receivers catching the ball in the sun

I'm no anthropologist but I'm pretty sure the Sun would blind the defenders, not the receivers, no?

 

[Uconnalliance]

Do I see chrome?! Yeah! finally a little touch of Oregon , maybe now we play like them

 

[pepband99]

These are sweet. I expect to be able to buy them at the Coop (only) sometime in 2017 for $99.

I foresee a "Gray-out" on 10/30.
Gonna be sweet to smash the Pirates in these.

Go to their twitter page and scroll down and read all the comments by Danny.

Remind you of anyone who posts on here? (No cost mobile device is your hint)

My first thought when I read this was ..... "Trac phone"????

 

[ktuck911]

I am honestly surprised at all the positive comments. But I have a theory...they released this after 9pm when the frescooters of the world were in bed


They look great....nicely done!

might he be a conservative?

Dope!

Perfect night for Mikal Myers to make some big plays in the backfield... Get that Halloween theme music playing in the background

For clarification....being an "old fogey" or "fuddy duddy" is about attitude and not age.



....Wrangler jeans are timeless?

 

[freescooter]

I think it would look sick with a red shirt and grey pants.

THAT IS A GREAT IDEA!!! Play the Halloween theme music every time Myers gets a sack!!!

Well, here in Texas they are.

 

[UConn76]

look great to me! can't wait to see them on the field..

 

[huskeynut]

I like them!

 

[BugsyCT]

Honest opinion - still too much red in the overall uniforms now (especially the face masks), but these alternates are really nice. Matte grey helmets with chrome logo, facemask and stripes. Very sharp. Now we're getting into Oregon territory with this look. For those who like the conservative look for the main unis (I do), the point of alternates is to have a flashier, abstract look, and these hit the mark.

Nicely done, and yes, the players & recruits will love them, and that's what matters.

What do we think of the new uni's? @Byron31Jump @dannylan51 @MarcusEasley @DariusJButler @JordanTodman @Donaldb31

The puppy dog late 80's - early 90's look ain't comin back bro.. That was our era when were on campus... way back when... but some concepts on this helmet I do like that why should consider incorporating in the not so distant future season's to come (God willing)...

Reread my post. See where it says "same idea with the new dog?" It is not about the logo but the design. The alt helmet design loses the dog. It's too small and using chrome for the blue elements makes it disappear on a gray helmet. Should be bigger and use chrome to replace the white elements.

Finally having an alternative unit at all and is step forward but a few tweaks would make it much better.
