Big and bold just like it should be. Now, to put up some matching Ws where it really counts. I hope that warning sticker on the helmet says something to the effect of "Warning: Other teams are in for a serious ass-whoopin' this year".

This helmet is getting mixed reviews on the Football Facebook page:

Looks good to me. Time for a change from the last two "sweeping" designs.

Here's the full size version (looks like it'd work well for a wallpaper):

I saw a posted pic either on the main website or facebook that had an angle of the new helmet that showed a partial view of the back. I noticed that the players numbers will be on the back of the helmet. I like that a lot.

Can't find the pic now....I was going to post it here for reference.

Ok the image I was refering to is in the "Practice #3 folder"

It's not the full size version, but here's the photo referenced:

I love those helmets. Crisp and clean but still with a little flash.

Thanks ST Lawson. for posting the pic. I think the helmets look great. Looks like they will also have bones on it to acknowledge stats.....interesting how the appearance of the helmet can change 10 games into the season for some of the marque players.

Are we going with concussion sensors in the helmets? Some colleges are buying into it now. Not sure if any teams in the Valley are using them yet but if not, might make some sense to be the first in the Valley to do it as it could enhance recruiting.
