FWIW

The helmets are a Nike tribute to Erk Russell.

From Wikipedia, "Perhaps the most lasting impression was Russell ramming his bald dome into a helmeted player to celebrate a turnover or key play, leaving his forehead drenched in blood."

Hence the red stripe down the helmet and facemask.

If they really wanted a tribute to Erk, all they had to do is just put "GATA" in big letters on the helmet.

Awful. Cartoonishly garish and menstrual. The helmets look like something you'd see on a roller derby team. As usual, Nike has no taste at all. The only design goal they seem to value is "aggressive," but the only one they actually seem to hit consistently is "cheap."

Thank God Tennessee doesn't use those clowns.

The people I have heard talk about it seem to have more of a problem with the helmet than anything else. That and the fact that the unis kind of remind them of the look they went to when Donnan was at UGA. :)

My Georgia friends have the same feelings. The pants are actually cool, the jersey is ahh ok, but the helmet is just awful. And b/c the helmet is so bad, it ruins the whole thing.

I think this is one of the best looking helmets in CFB, just dumb to change it.

Red on red? Wow those uniforms are U-G-L-Y. The helmets and gloves are not bad in comparison but that's not saying much. Maybe if the helmets were red and the pants and jersey's silver it would be a little better.

Whoever thought that "G" up back in the day for Green Bay really knew what he or she was doing. I mean it looks good and all especially for the Packers but I'm very thankful that UT didn't copy a pro team's logo or anything like that.

Other than the helmet, i like them. Wouldn't mind seeing TN change it up every now and then.

Yea the red on red intensify the ugliness. Maybe black pants would be better.

In a related story, Nike today revealed it's consulting team for UGA's new uniforms.

I disagree. I think TCU's 1st Pro Combat was fantastic. Every part of that uniform was incredible.

The local ATL news showed different pants, they were grey with black stripes and looked cool. These all red one look awful

They don't look horrible. It is nice to change it up every now and then. Tradition is nice, but it doesn't hurt to mix it up.

I wonder if all the fans preaching about tradition still read the newspaper, or use VCR's and have rotary phones. Sometimes change can be good.

Obviously the kids today love the new trendy uniforms and styles. It may not make a kid stay or leave a university, but it could very well factor into their thought process a little.
