I’m not a fan of the white ones
Spring Football
What does that say about our financial resources if we can't afford helmets ???Leatherneck57 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 10:04 pmWhen Spring ball is over all helmets (white and purple) are going in for reconditioning. Purple helmets will become white. Due to budgets we can’t have two colors anymore. They have decided to stay with white helmets.
If we are going with just one style, it should have been the Purple ones which have the block "W". Western has really been emphasizing the "W" in it's advertising.

The white helmets are easier to maintain and cost less when needing replaced because it’s a stock color. Our Purple helmets are more expensive due to the custom color.
The players selected white over purple…
Makes sense, if I was rich I would donate money so they could have Purple lolLeatherneck57 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 02, 2023 8:51 amThe white helmets are easier to maintain and cost less when needing replaced because it’s a stock color. Our Purple helmets are more expensive due to the custom color.

I know it was mentioned earlier and not anything that makes our program win games, but why can't we update our Spring Roster? This is strictly for us the fans, but something that should be done......for us, the fans.
Never personally done it, but can't image this a crazy hard and long drawn out process. Is there another season this wouldn't be done?
Only team in the confernce and probably one of the few in the FCS without it updated. EIU has it, so come on people.
