Perhaps the 150 patch will be worn all season.

Forget throwbacks. These should be worn every week. Pants are so much better than the ugly yellow mustard ones.

Those GT Cape Day uniforms are legit. They also give me the warm-and-fuzzies because honoring kids is awesome.

Hopefully L'ville is also ditching the chrome lids...they and Indiana's chrome are by far the worst of this horrible trend.

I’m okay with the chrome helmets but I’m guessing UoL’s will be black.

Yea, I saw other shots from that Louisville photoshoot showing a black helmet with a regular finish.

I'm probably just an old curmudgeon, I've just never liked the chrome trend and initially liked the matte helmets, but even those grew old to me.

ND's helmets will forever be the best (as they are now) because the shiny gold looks good both during the day and under the lights.

I'm not a big fan of other chrome helmets, or even some 'traditional' helmets, because they reflect light in an extreme fashion, to me.

Aside from ND's helmets, I prefer a good matte finish, regardless of color. I like the way the flat paint stands out and makes the helmet colors and logos visible, regardless of lighting.

Purdues chrome helmets suck too... Look like mirrors, look bad on TV imo.

Purdue & Michigan State both have history more than most and could have classic, traditional looks but choose to crap on that history to pander to the uniform trends.

Are you referring to millennials for designing it or for being the ones who will be using it? Because I'm at the tail end of the category millennials and had started my senior year of football ten years ago.

This looks dumb. Back in my day....the cool thing to do was have alternate helmets/uniforms, now people want see-through stuff? F'ing weirdos man.

IDK man. Just seems to fit into the age range that the "ME'ME" movement started.

Football players are the most popular kids in their high schools and colleges. To claim they are faceless victims (or whatever point this helmet is trying to make) is absurd.
