Helmets?

[SonsOfNutmeg]

So I was poking around the UConn Shop online, looking for some new Football merchandise to waste my money on, and I came across this:

WTF- Please someone tell me this is just a screw-up, and not a real helmet for this year or something!?

This helmet is a good look... simple but a good look

 

[RedSoloCup]

interesting...since the block 'c' mini is 25, it's not current... the price of this mini and last years mini are 30... implication is this is the new look?

We will see. is very simple, very clean.

Looks like 95-98 helmet in a different font.

This helmet is a good look... simple but a good look

...Maybe if we were in 1990 then sure.

I know I've said this on here a millon times, but we need a 3rd helmet bad... Maybe a chrome/red/white deal for this season?

 

[History Geek]

I like it. Classy.

This design was posted earlier. I like this look as well.

I Would Take Either Of Those Helmets Over Our Current ones.

Helmet sucks! I would rather go with the plain white, no stripe, nothing.

 

[Drew]

this helmet sucks. the current white one we have is sick. the best unis we have are the ones we wore against memphis. White helmets, blue tops, white pants.

 

[NavinRJohnson]

I want to see a throwback uniform day. Back to the Yankee Conference days.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

I would much prefer these helmets to the garbage we wore last season.

I gave em a chance, was almost sold on them, but after seeing them in action for a year I just couldn't take them anymore.

Anything, and a lot of nothing would be better than what we have now!
Bring back the block C, it said UCONN football...

 

[BlueDogs]

Like it. Simple, classy.

I don't know if these will actually be used in games, but they're head & shoulders better that what we have now. Go with this one. It's college football, man - keep the helmets simple.

Every team should have at least one standard helmet as a design, then if they want a bunch of alternates, that's fine. The ones we have now simply look bad and don't work as a main helmet.

There's good gimmicky ideas and there are bad - the dogface inkblot stripe is a bad gimmick.

This would make a good alternate, but not a main design.

Looks like a canine version of "Kilroy was here"...

 

[uconNYC]

I'd just put the husky head on both sides of the helmet and UCONN on the back (like it is currently). I like the consistency of UConn's branding these days.

 

[UConnDan97]

I would take the "UCONN", Block C, or Husky Logo helmets any day of the week over the crappy helmet we currently have. For a refresher, here is the Husky Logo helmet (top):

I find this helmet kind of meh, but that's just me.

 

[DW4UCONN]

How about this Bugsy design? I also think this is a great look. A bit more exciting than the one originally posted here.

Without a doubt the best helmet UCONN would have ever put out. GET THIS DESIGN NOW!

These are my favorite as well.

Sorry, but no helmet with UCONN on it looks like it belongs with the above. Block C, UC interlock, some nice graphic like Sparty, Iowa or MI have (frankly I can't imagine what it would be, but the new Husky ain't it) or nothing, ala PSU and tOSU.

UCONN summons up the A10, and looks like it belongs in CUSA.

 

[Adios]

It can go along with Illinois. If we keep this and start winning again, this helmet can fit in the B1G. Simplicity = majestic.

 

[RioDog]

At least Illinois put the entire name of the state on the helmet. That would be better than UConn if Connecticut wasn't so long.

Five of the twelve teams have a single letter on the helmet (six, if you count two letters). Man!....if only we had a single letter that WE could use on the helmet!....oh, wait...

 

[Adios]

When it comes to cutting state names for marketing purposes, that obviously applies to Penn State, as well. The more I think about it, this is a perfect helmet for the B1G.

Don't forget Maryland. They'll be the ones looking like clowns. If this is the end of the "Call of the Wild" helmet, thank God it only lasted one year.
