it took ~30 years, but they finally got the cardinal on the helmet to match the cardinal on the jersey.

Noticed that. They’re perfect.

Are the lids actually new? I just assumed it was the sticker and face mask configuration.

No it is the same color/shade of Cardinal. Having the stripe makes all the difference. Different accenting colors "trick" our eyes a bit. The same reason why folks last year (like myself initially) thought the jerseys were way more 'red than they used to be, when in fact the shade had not changed.

And as others have stated - these 'Cyclones' script helmets are our best ever. Please God never ear the version with the I-State bevel'd logo on it. Goodness that still looks bad, even with the silly white chin strap.

Can’t believe Jett wants to wear the BORING Alabama helmet and not our absolute BEAUTY Cyclones script cardinal helmet

Wonder if Arizona State is going back full-time to Sparky on the helmet? Hope so.

For sure, we've always needed white to make our colors work better imo. Glad we're finally realizing that lol. Just wish they did something with the pants but oh well.

Now they need to do the orrnado and I will arrive if you know what I mean.

Can we please get the script logo on a hat without the stupid F'ing vintage logo on the side?

I don't think so - in the same tweet other pictures that were ignored because "not Cyclone script" they also showed the cardinal helmet with the I-State logo and it too looked perfect in ways it hasn't in years past.

EDIT: and the Tweet itself says "new red lids" - they changed the entire helmet itself
