When they initially presented to us, Nike actually recommended that we keep the Block ‘C.’ Warde didn’t want to. That helmet, it really was interesting. We went through the whole rebrand and Coach Pasqualoni really had no opinion one way or the other. Warde helped design that helmet literally on a computer, it was not a high level design firm. He tried to make it like the Michigan helmet.”
“Nike had presented and shared with us some pretty cool looks,” he continued. “None of them had the Block ‘C’ at that point because we had already scuttled it, but I actually was showing the equipment guy some of the different options they had presented and the one with the eyes were by far and away the worst option. But Warde saw those and he was all-in.
Well there it is then.
