Return of the Orange Helmets vs. Vandy?

[Pride85]

Seems like why tempt fate...I'm just channeling my inner Crash Davis. I mean, I'd rather see any of below before those bad luck, bad looking helmets.

Crash Davis: If you believe you're playing well because you're getting ***, or because you're not getting ***, or because you wear women's underwear, then you are! And you should know that!

Ok. I understand, although your graphic above does show that the helmet has changed multiple times over the 100+ years of the program.

You have already diluted the brand on Halloween 2009 when you brought in black uniforms. We are a cheap brand now and we have to resort to gimmicks to remain relevant. Get over it.

Where were you when we wore the burnt gray helmets? Or the black helmets?

That is the two variances I was talking about. Two is enough if they each are used like maybe once a year. The orange helmets look like an advertisement for cream orange ice cream.

Nope, at my age I reserve the right to not get over anything that I feel is infringing upon my sense of what should be. Nope I am not a certain person word salad fan

So you don’t deer hunt?

I'm not sitting in a deer stand or tree....The orange helmet is something millions can see and not preventing some deer hunter shooting at my ass.

I started deer and rabbit running with dogs back in the 50s and 60s.....You?

Curses aren't real. They're just ugly helmets.

True that the helmets don't win or lose the game....But wearing a a orange blob on my head wouldn't give me much confidence to perform my duty.

Many teams have won conference and national championships with colored helmets, while we've won nothing this entire century with all white helmets. One bad game should not have cost us our orange helmets for ever. That's pathetically superstition. Like on a clinical level.

They are uglier than $hit....As in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers expansion ugly. Has nothing to do with superstition with me.

Butt ass ugly.

Yes….started in 50’s also

Nico is wearing Hookers helmet since the concussion. The same model anyway.

Same model, not the same helmet. Each helmet is custom fitted to the individual player.

Opinions on their ugliness aside, if they want them to make a comeback they need to wear them in a game against an FCS team/a sure win. That would be the first step of getting the bad taste out of our mouths. Wearing them in a crucial game and proceeding to lose would put the final nail in the coffin as far as most fans are concerned.

That's what I said.

 

[DeerPark12]

That's what I said.

And like I said, they haven’t ordered any new orange helmets in two years, so they don’t have one for him. The white one could be ordered and fitted in two days because it’s white. A custom color like Tennessee orange has to be ordered months in advance.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Heard rumblings of the return of the orange helmet against Vandy.... Makes me nervous as hell given what happened the last time we wore them. Would love to cast out the USCe demons of the helmet but not sure this is the game to do it!

I call Bull freaking ****

Can the title of this thread be changed or maybe just the thread shut down? Thanks

 

[FirstAndGoal]

not NO but Hell NO !!!!!!!

Not YES, but HELL YES !! May the curse be broken!

It never ceases to amaze me that people think the color of a helmet or jersey or pants or cleats have an actual impact on the game. By most people's logic on here, we need to burn the orange jersey's too. We've lost more in those and had more "bad" games than anything else.

Does he have a little head?
