I hate to admit it but I do kind of like the helmets (although an all black carbon fiber minus the red might be better). I am a traditionalist with football and would be fine with the solid color and single stripe helmets. I also hate the Oregon duck flashy crap. However, I am cool with trying to reach out to refresh the look to possibly attract players etc. Yes Alabama attracts plenty with the plain jane attire (which I like) but we are not Bama. We kept the block “S” and for that I’m still on board.
For once the “new” helmet is not Fugly but different. Good or bad….I don’t know yet. I like the old school look the best in CF but I can also dig this look as well. Heck, honestly I’m just open minded at this point because what else can I be? Our Athletic ship has gone through various $hit storms and still manages to float (barely). So I am going to be optimistic on this change and say why the heck not. If anything thing else it gets me excited about the first game to pass judgement on some new threads. If they play awesome I’m sure I will like them. If they play like White Dog $hit then they will be carbon fiber turds.
Maybe I’m going through the mid-life thing so I will say they are kind of cool. Whatever…paint the darn things $hit brown or hot pink. Just win…
