Agreed, very awesome!
Thanks, I couldn't get a picture on my work computer. Those are sick.

Unpopular take of the day, maybe the year. I like the helmet and I like the whole throw back idea- OCCASIONALLY. That said, I wish we we would settle on a home combo and a road combo (I'm partial to what we wore last week for the home set up) and not throw out different combos every week. I know people say the kids like the changes, but I'm not sure I buy that they like some of the ugly duck combos we use and I don't see kids running from schools like Notre Dame, Michigan, Bama, Auburn and the likes because they don't change unis every week. We are working hard to establish tradition and tradition doesn't mean changing looks weekly, in fact, it's the opposite of that.
Before i get blasted, let me say I'm still a TROJAN, I'll be a TROJAN no matter what we wear (as long as it's not loin cloths) and my preference regarding unis has NO bearing on the decisions that will be made. I know I'm an old curmudgeon with a a "Get off my lawn" sign (Jeff Dunham's character "Walter" is my hero) so I know i'm sort of on a island by myself, I just don't see much reason for weekly uniform changes. It's not as if it's a marketing move since they aren't available to purchase anyway. Give me time to hunker down and then fire away.

I agree to some extent, I think the traditional schools who never make changes have awesome uniforms, Texas, Michigan, Bama, etc but the experts do say the kids love the varieties. I also agree last week's uniform was perfect and hopefully they will stick to that and maybe just this new helmet decal for one game. I'm a hug fan of the throwback helmets the last two seasons, but I'd be happy with a road uni and home uni. As long as we Never, ever go with cardinal pants and cardinal jersey's I want complain.

I like the new jersey they released last game, along with the basic pants. Pair that with an updated white jersey, and maybe the white pants and/or some cardinal pants. I don't like the grey unis that much. This helmet is legit. I'd be cool just peppering this helmet in with the unis mentioned above, maybe have a black alternate jersey. Call it a day.

Also, one small detail that would be awesome is to have HAVOC on the rear neck bumper of the helmet. Little tiny detail that shows some tradition. I'd love it if we played that up more.

I agree, we shouldn’t change our unis/helmets almost “every week” or so, esp when playing our biggest home game of the year...we can maybe do this when we host Akron, Liberty, etc but not when hosting Boise St, S.Miss, NC State...

Bright Cardinal/Matte Cardinal/White/Chrome over Cardinal over White for home
Bright Cardinal/Matte Cardinal/White over White over Cardinal or Bright Cardinal/Matte Cardinal over White over White for the road.
We have some AWESOME helmet options, rotate those with a standard jersey/pants combo. I'm not against all variety, just would like to see some tradition established.

And I thought we wouldn't have our annual uniform discussion on the boards this year. Shame on me.

There is something to be said about consistency in terms of marketing. While we enjoy this week's helmets, if you showed it to random college football fans, they wouldn't know which team it belongs to. If you show our Power-T helmet, it will be recognized because the world saw them when we beat LSU and Nebraska. So my take is that whenever we are on ESPN+, wear whatever, but if we are in front of the nation, wear the Power-T.

They can wear doo doo stained jumpsuits if they bring home the W's for all DT cares.
