Thoughts on the helmets?

I loved them. I was pleasantly surprised to see them. Just wish we could have won in them. Now it's going to be all "no! Don't wear those! We lose in those!"
We lose in everything

I thought they were pretty badass.
I'd love to see a lot more of them, personally.

I didn't care for them. I like the idea, but would rather had the complete gamecock or the head.
If our new look gets some prized recruits, though, then I'm all for it!

I wouldn't mind having a matte black helmet with the block C and Gamecock logo on it. Wear those with the all black unis.
But I do like the ones we wore today. Maybe those 100 recruits that were at the game were too preoccupied with the helmets to notice the shitty playing and the fans streaming out before the game was even close to over.

Liked them, hope they continue maybe creating new ones in time.

They could have been better. I didn't like the white though

they did what they could with having to use the existing white helmets. I've heard helmets have to be ordered (by color) a year in advance.
Tailfeathers were cool - fits in with the "No Limits" slogan at Carolina and marketing around campus.
for me, there was a little too much Gamecock arse on the helmet and it's trajectory was downward, so there's some irony there.
saw this during the offseason and it looks a little cleaner and better IMHO. the tapered garnet stripe that runs 3/4 of the helmet, but not to the neck pad, helps the white helmet out.
saw this not too long ago as well... I'd be all for this combination as a staple uniform.

I'm probably too old school traditionalist ... but I didn't like them at all.
If we're going to change helmets I'd like to see us go to a modernized garnet helmet perhaps, but keep the Block C logo, make it chrome garnet or something.

The helmets looked like something Louisville would wear.

Good for them for trying something new, but I didn't like the helmets all that much.

I thought they were cool, I'm not stodgy enough to say I hate them, they are not traditional etc.. yada.
I would love to have a couple different helmets for our uniforms. Like a new style garnet one, a all black one for black outs, and a all white one for stormtrooper unis. If the kids like it, its really all that matters.
And if we do get Nike in here as a sponsor like rooster was talking about, we will have a few different looks.

I liked the idea but think the execution left something to be desired.
I've seen better designs from Gamecockology. This would've been way better:

I'm partial to the one in my avatar on my cockytalk acct that I use from time to time. On my phone so I can't post it right now

I like that one, too. I'd like to see it on a black matte helmet as well.

That one IMO looks great on white the other one would be awesome on a black matte finish
