Wow, really thinking too much into this.
I LIKE IT!!!!!!!!!!! it's different....... for us. The team zigged when most were hoping for a zag.
It also may explain why BCU has so many, because of folk saying "I dont like it, it should have been this or it should have been that. Now look at them they have 11 combos but I guarantee somebody complains every week that they dont like what they run out wearing. Even if our alternate helmet was gold some would complain it looks too much like
Unfortunately as the old saying goes "you can't please all the people all the time."
Let's just embrace it the kids apparently and I think that's who probably matters the most on this case especially if you were to ask deion Sanders, "look good, feel good, play good."

My initial reaction is that I like the new helmets and uniforms ... I just hate the lackluser way in which we chose to present them to the world.
Social media is cool, but you still have got to use high resolution photos and hi-def video to announce things to the public. Taking a camera photo in a dark locker room is ridiculous.
And as of right now, there still is not a single mention of the new uniforms on ncataggies.com.
There were enough people behind the scenes who knew about this weeks ago that we should've had time to come up with a coordinated marketing plan. Hell, we have been discussing getting new helmets on the board since January. It was the worst kept secret.
Why not just wait until you have everything ready to really make the official presentation?

They at least could have put a Gold stripe down the middle to bring out the A&T lock and number on the other side !

ya'll don't shoot me, but i'm not a big fan of that new helmet. for one, the color grey is one of the buzzards primary colors. and two, they could've trimmed the a&t logo with a "bold" shade of navy blue. other than that, i suppose i can live with it... Sent from my SM-G950U using proboards I feel he same way...Grey...Lock on one side number on the other...for what? Just messing up something that isn’t broken just to be like everyone else...this some bullchit. Aggies in grey WTF !!

Yeah, since you have two different decals on opposite sides you need a barrier (stripe) to provide balance. I would probably prefer a 3-stripe design. Two navy blue ones on the outside and a gold one in the middle.

Well at least it looks to have a gloss finish unlike last couple of years helmets with the flat finish. This helmet should not scratch up like the ones from last year so in that regards I am happy !

I really don't care if we wear pink jerseys with lime green helmets and orange socks. The only that really matters is that we continue winning.

Two navy blue ones on the outside and a gold one in the middle. We basically didn’t spend any money on the helmet change. We already had both decals in stock 😕..those are the same numbers we usually use on the back of the helmet...the grey paint is probably cheaper than the Blue with gold specs, and the matte blue look.

The design is the same but the decals are different because the gold is trimmed in gray instead of blue.
