White helmet with the Block C has a classic look. There are a number of "Huskies" (e.g., Washington, Northern Illinois) out there, but there is only ONE "C"onnecticut.
You are SO wrong. White helmets look very pedestrian & cheap. They look like the organization is paying bargain prices & not going the extra mile. I've said this in the past: Think back to the early 70s. In the YanCon, UConn, UMass, UNH, & URI all wore white helmets, It looked like someone just slapped different logos on them. Then in '72 or '73, UConn went to Blue helmets for contrast purposes. (Joe Corbo was on this team). The perception was an aesthetic improvement.
Another example, also from the '70s: The newly formed AFC East: New England, Jets, Miami, Baltimore, & Buffalo all wore white helmets from their inception. That division looked like the Division was shopping at the helmet bargain basement. Of those teams, only the Colts & Dolphins have retained white. The Colts helmet is historic, no need to change. The Dolphins helmet harkens back to their greatest NFL success: their fans would despise a change.
If you look over the Helmet project, UConn's helmet has alternated between Blue or White (with a few years of that insidious grey). I just feel that the National Flag Blue is more aesthetically pleasing & looks more "professional". I would only use white helmets on the date of a designated "whiteout" game. I'd even venture that now that red has officially been designated as UConn's 3rd official color, UConn endorse red helmets as an alternate.
I realize every fan has his or her own preference. The athletic department use whichever official color it wants. I Just prefer National Flag Blue as the primary color. After all, for years, UConn teams were referred to as the National Flag Blue & White.
We can't all be Penn St. or Yale with our color schemes. Even BYU changed to Blue helmets.
Rant over.
