Topic: Green chrome..

[herd2win]

Watching ECU and their helmets I think a Kelly green chrome helmet would be a good alternative look to go with our uniforms...I hope we don’t wear the black pants again...

Maybe the aways? The problem with the home and Kelly as a whole is we had three different shades of greens when we went full pea pod. Weirdly as we move further away from them, I miss the green helmet.

You guys hate black and Kelly but want ugly ass chrome helmets?!?!?!?!?!

If I may add my worthless opinion...every time I see a chrome helmet it reminds me of Oregon & I hate Oregon & their uni's....I did like the green helmets though....The all green look is nice along with the all white "stormtrooper" look as well & yes..no more black pants but I suppose the kids do like em so ahh well

No, I just hate black in the unis. Lol!

My opinion is that our helmet shouldn’t change, it’s iconic.

Another consideration, Helmets are like 300-400 each, so 80 of them is about 30k. 

It’s a yin-yang in recruiting, yes kids love new style hyped uni’s, but also traditional helmets are the foundation of a football brand.  The schools identity is the helmet, you are wearing the same helmets as the legendary players before you.

This is so true! Yesterday's game between Louisville and Pitt, you couldn't tell who was who.

Pitt yesterday's uni


Pitt uni before...



The Ville,,



No Thanks! on these Non-Traditional ugly unis...Remember, highlights will be shown 20-40 years, etc from now.. Fans won't know who their teams are with the uni's they're wearing now.

Pitt needs to stick with their classic uniforms and branding. Replacing their colors, branding, fonts, and the name Pitt was such a boneheaded decision 20 years ago. It feels like they broke any connection to when Pitt was a national football presence. I'm glad they're slowly resolving that. But then again, players and college students probably don't have the sentimental attachment to Dan Marino or Tony Dorsett like I do and just think the old stuff is cheesy and outdated.

I think we're seeing the same thing with the black pants and accents on Marshall uniforms. I'm a big fan of bright colors and unique combinations in all their 1970s and 1980s glory.

Changing uniforms will cause a detattachment from students and newer generations seeking an identity.
