So far our uniform combo with the worst percentage (not including those with 1 time use and a loss) is the All-Green White Helmet we wore for this game (1-3) .250.

If our AD would get their heads outta their ass and use that logo it would be really cool. I like the idea of putting it on only one side like the steelers do.
Team was wearing green helmets in practice today. Looks like they have some thin plastic on them, probably to keep them from getting too beat up before game day. If you look at the guy in the bottom left, you can see that they are a matte green under the plastic.

It has seemed previously that the team would wear the helmet that they will be wearing in an upcoming game during practice sometimes. I know that it will be a “White Out” for ODU this Saturday, so maybe we will be wearing all green. I don’t know if ODU’s team will be wearing all white though.

FINALLY!!! A GREEN HELMET!!!
Mike, I think you are right about them being matte green with some sort of protection over them during practices. Any chance we will break the mold and have a logo other than the standard C-49ers??
Also, I am guessing that we hold the green helmets back until Homecoming.

Look closely.
It’s another one-color C-49ers, just like our green-foil atrocities.
Seriously, who is making the design decisions for our program?

Good eyes. Very disappointing. That looks really cheap if that’s what they are going with.
clt says we have a lot of players named ham.

That application looks much better than I thought it would.
It’s still not a great logo by any means, but I’ll admit that this isn’t atrocious.
The biggest questions is does the green helmet match our green uniforms?

I still think the all white logo looks cheap. Put the full color logo on this helmet and it would look 1000 times better. Put the full color C-pick all alone and I think that would be our best helmet.
I guess I should just be happy that we are finally getting green helmets.
Since the AD hates people at work and insists only on twitter hosting…

I disagree with you in that at least the single-color pops. The originals just have too many colors to stand out, so the logo ends up blending in with the helmet rather than being very visible.
The real issue is that all of our logos and branding were designed to be displayed on a basketball court, and now we’re trying to make them work on a football helmet. Things get lost when you scale something down to eight inches wide and place it a hundred feet away from a camera.
There’s a reason that the vast majority of established football programs have simpler logos. Even those who have rebranded recently have done so in a way that displays nicely on a football helmet (Oregon State, for example).
AD says white jersey, green pants with the green helmet.
