Those are amazing! Something I never thought I'd say about football helmets.

I have to say that I really like that teams are letting Nike and Under Armour, etc., design one-game uniforms and helmets, rather than sticking with one set of traditional uniforms for the whole season (home and away). These helmets are exactly why!  |

I do love how they selected a different ship for the different positions. The amount of time spent designing the helmets is amazing. |

I love those Navy helmets! Go Navy! I grew up 20 min. from the Naval Academy. My friends and I used to love to go to Annapolis Mall on the weekends and see the Navy students in their uniforms.
The founder of Under Armour went to my alma mater and he makes some great uniforms/helmets for our football teams and other sports teams.

I love these helmets, but just wanted to say that the Texas Aggie football players looked like thugs in the LSU game in all black. I don't mind some change, but black is NOT one of the TAMU colors....we are maroon and white. In the Vanderbilt game, we wore all white, which was almost as bad, since Vandy wore silver. I don't mind a change for a special game, etc, but I think it has gotten ridiculous and is now just a marketing ploy by the big sports manufacturers to sell more (and different) jerseys. We've sold out......

Haha- A group of Aggies get together here in Eastern WA at local watering hole to watch the games and one guy spent the entire game grousing about the uniforms the 1st time they wore them. Saturday he was out of town but we got texts from him going nuts about how much he hates those uniforms- "Aggies are maroon and white" he kept saying. We agreed with him but it was funny listening to him go on and on. |

Those Navy helmets are amazing, especially since they are handpainted. My husband used to work for one of the shipbuilders that is building the LCS so it was cool to see that ship on the helmets.

Those are seriously cool!
Side note on the black uniforms - The Iowa Hawkeyes look BADASS in all black, which they wore for the blackout against Minnesota a few weeks ago...beside the fact that they come on the field to AC/DC's "Back in Black".

And that works, because you are black and gold! The Aggies uniforms were so dark that you couldn't see the helmet logo at all and the player name was only visible if they turned a certain way and caught the right light on the maroon name.... But then again, I am a traditional old ag...... |

Those helmets are awesome. I wonder what they will do with them after the game.

I usually frown on anything "trendy" when it comes to uniforms, but those are great.
Go Navy Navy Navy!

luvspaper- I think those were the helmets that "glow" in the dark. Only problem with those is, there are lights on during evening games!!!
