There are still plenty of teams that do chrome helmets.
And none of them are "cool" or "hot" either.
Maybe a silver chrome one with black lettering would look cool? But not a red chrome one with yellow lettering IMO.
Take a look at the pictures recruits are putting out there. Many of them donning the chrome lids. So, they like it. That's what counts.
You said hardly anyone does it which is incorrect. Now you're saying none of them look cool or hot. You don't like chrome helmets we get it. Plenty of fans and players do. Probably best to just keep it moving.
I do agree that what the players think is cool is what matters. I will say that. But don't tell me that these look cardinal.......
Because of the reflectivity, the "apparent" color will change more drastically than regular helmets as lighting conditions change. There are other photos from the bowl game where they look just fine.
So you agree they don't look very good above?
But in certain conditions or angles they look sweet? Ok, got it.
BINGO!! We have a winner. That's why they don't look good IMO. Same with Louisville, their's don't look very good either IMO.
Maybe it is your sense of what is “cool” that is off?
I love emI do agree that what the players think is cool is what matters. I will say that. But don't tell me that these look cardinal.......
Chrome is one of the few new fads I absolutely love. Other than that I’m an old curmudgeon. Especially with gray & black. But I don’t mind changing things up a bit as long as cardinal and gold (red & yellow) are used most of the time.
I think this look would be amazing under the lights:
Bring it on, haters.
Bring it on, haters.
I normally despite mono-chromatic football uniforms. I can tolerate all-white, but even that comes off a little bland and like a onesie to me.
I love the gold basketball uniforms, though, and that reminds me of them. Gold is just as much one of our colors as is cardinal. We should embrace that.
I agree -- I don't think I'd go all-gold for football (and maybe that'll prove impossible if they decided not to get a gold helmet -- don't get me started on that) -- but the cardinal-gold-gold looks better than the cardinal-gold-cardinal ISU did a few years ago. Didn't work well, for some reason. Looked more like they were going to wear gold pants instead, but they were all stolen just before game day, or something.
I'm equally puzzled why that funnel would even remain an option. If it comes down to what young people/players like, I can't understand how they'd embrace it, either. Who knows.
That helmet logo and the gray aka "green" basketball uniforms should be retired immediately. With no pension.
My wife bought me an ISU shirt that had this logo on it but the shirt was grey. I never liked the logo but it does look sharp on the grey t-shirt honestly
