Black, only two stripes.

New contract with Under Armour means new uniforms, not clear if they'll be ready for this season though.

Andy, i definitely like the look, not sold on the stripes yet. I think i would have to get a 360 view. but the black is nice IMO.

Any chance you could get some new ones at HU? NOT a fan of the current one. :(

I liked the other, yellow helmets better. I thought the road look was good with those helmets and the black pants. This one tends to look too much like other teams now.

I agree, their yellow helmets were great and i thought the tigers looked sick when they were playing at navy, just like montana state they shouldn't have changed.

I doubt it. Uni's maybe, helmet will probably stay the same. I didn't like it at first, but the more i saw of it, the better it looked. God know's it's better than white with a visa card or the lion logo.

Visa yes, but I thought the lion logo was OK. I have yet to see the HU helmet in person, so I really shouldn't judge.

I'd like it if they go back to the T helmet that I wore. But I like the new Tiger.
This was the only uniform I thought the gold helmet looked good...

Lafayette HC Frank Taviani always commented on Towson's "Big f*ucking T's on the Helmet." As in Towson coming in here with those helmets with the big f'in T. Not sure why he didnt like the T xlolx.

Wish I could find the thread where I posted pics from the UD/Towson game several years ago. TU wore all black that day and looked pretty sharp with the yellow tiger helmets.

The PL Towson T was bigger than mine.

And they look even better in the sun or at least with the lights on. xeyebrowx

That picture is from last years Morgan game. It was in the middle of a tropical storm. It was 4pm in September. The lights were on.

Weird day.

Now that i have seen the yellow hats with black on black, tough call. Go with both!

He's a little known fact, see that crane in the background of my last picture? That's Shepard Pratt Hospital. Hannibal the Cannibal was imprisoned there and parts of Silence of the Lambs was filmed yards away from where I practiced!

Really dig that white / yellow stripe. There seems to be a general movement towards that cat / tiger / bobcat design for the schools with those mascots, almost too generic looking. The "T" looked pretty cool back in the day... didn't it kind of resemble the Tennessee decal?

Helmut looks good. Much more streamlined than the last few years. I liked the older block T as well.

Why the hell do i see a turkey and an advertisement for nationalchamps.net? That looks like a hell of a lot of stuff to fit on a helmet. xlolx

I liked the yellow shells, but the black doesn't look so bad. It makes the logo "pop" better. But I've never been a fan of the 2-tone helmet stripe like that. I would prefer much more 2 stripes, yellow, white, yellow or just one stripe. Too bad they didn't ask me.

I'm with Geauxcolonels regarding the 2 stripes. 1 stripe or 3, but the two tone like that doesn't look very good xtwocentsx

I was a big fan of the yellow, but the black isn't terrible, at least

I assume that you're speaking to the rebrand that was brought up in another thread....I have yet to see the picture so I have no idea what the image looks like. xconfusedx

Aw, hell. The link worked earlier.

But now that you think of it, that would be one heck of a distraction for your opponents if you put that on the side of your bucket.

Not bad. Like the yellow ones better though. Heck I even like the white one in your avatar, Andy.

Nice looking helmet! I'll be pulling for you guys to upset Northwestern. Anyone making the trip to Chicago? The atmosphere at Ryan Field is easily the worst FBS atmosphere I've ever been to. The stadium is sort of neat in the sense that it's really old and feels like a classic college football stadium. If you sit high enough on the West grandstand you can see Downtown and the lake, which is sort of cool.

The tailgating sucks, and the Evanston community does little to embrace Northwestern football. Most people pregame party at various spots in Chicago and take the el to the game.

Anyway, best of luck on the 5th!

I'm partial to the white one too.

There is a large group going. From what I have seen, Northwesterns stadium looks like Colgates big brother. I have family up in Chicago so I may make the drive out there, depends on cash flow.
