NAU's new helmets

Yay or Nay?

They've got the updated "NAU" logo with a long axe underneath it.

Come on man if you are going to start a thread like this you at least have to put up a picture or a link or something.

I'm going to have to go with 'nay'. I like last year's better, but I'm sure other will like the ax and new style.

Not bad in my opinion, looks better than the plain NAU of the past few years.

[Eagle_77]

Not bad. Not sure the axe isnt a little to long but other than that its ok.

[colgate13]

Nay. I like the old one.

Funny, from the upper deck of the East stands at Arizona Stadium, the new helmet looked exactly like last years! :D

I'll go with a yea - gives the logo character.

Do they have new helmet avatars here for the new NAU helmets?

No, according to the Big Sky page at The Helmet Project ( http://www.nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/bigsky.htm ) he is still waiting from someone to send him a copy of the new helmet logo so that he can do it.

I like NAU's new uniforms and helmets. The darker blue is much nicer than the old blue. Hopefully the Cats get new uniforms soon, I think the current style is getting kind of dated. We have had them since the 2000 season. Our helmets are good though.

[Lumberjacks76]

Ok, I see.

Not bad. The old ones weren't terrible or anything, but the ax is a little something different. Looks pretty good overall.

[Hansel]

I think they are OK, it is difficult to make out the axe on the helmet

[Lumberjacks76]

Yeah, the axe is a little small.

I liked the old colors and uniforms better. These ones arent bad, but I prefer the older ones.

NAU also had some yellow helmets at some point. I believe from prior to 1999 or so. When I went to school they had "Jacks" on the helmet.

I prefer the old colors and helmet logo. The old blue was original and unique. I watched the NAU vs Arizona game last week and it took me a while to even make out what the new helmet logo said. It is very hard to read and the old one was much easier to read. Go Eagles!!!

I dig the new ones... I like a lot of the Big Sky's unis... PDX I am not to sure about yet though...

[Lumberjacks76]

NAU sure gave Arizona a good fight. I think they would have been more competitive had Jason passed for more than 5 yards in the first half, though. I think that was just tough PAC-10 'D.
