IG user "tigers.cfb" has posted an image of an Auburn football helmet with a brand new orange facemask. The mask appears to have a metallic/chrome finish.

The image was taken from the Auburn equipment room. Still awaiting official confirmation however.

Be still my beating heart!

I'm probably going to have visions of Bo Jackson and Greg Carr running around the field....

Wasn’t there some noise about how the orange makes it harder for the players to see?

I'm not mad about it but I never got why people were so invested in it. Looks aftermarket.

The white looked great. I can get behind this look as well. The subtle chages are fine but what I don't like is Oregon, or even Utah. The uni changes are so dramatic you don't recognize your team or traditions. I wish Utah would stop doing it but there's probably money involved.

Whether for or against any changes, that is ugly lol. Looks like someone was eating cheetos and drinking OJ all day and threw up.

Its not even the same color as the stripe lol.

I’m actually okay with it.

Would like to see it with the whole uniform as well.

Looks to me like the stripe is the orange outcast on that helmet. The facemask matches the orange outline of all the interlocked AU logos on the side of the helmet and the tabs of the shield.

Looks alright. Better than I figured it would as I never liked the orange facemask look. I'm not big on changing things up, but don't see the big deal when teams do it. As long as the traditional home and away uniforms are recognizable and there isn't a different uniform every week like Oregon, I'm fine with it.

That’s exactly how you stick with tradition in 2021. Change something fairly minimal that the old people won’t even notice, but still create a little buzz with the team and young folk

That’s exactly what the WRs who are already struggling to catch and the DBs who are struggling to find opposing WRs to cover need.
