[MrTitleist]

As much as you can leap, anyways. UW is returning to old school helmets.

I think he just jazzed in his pants.

hoping we use the brown ones on occasion.....I think the stripe takes away from steamboat logo-one of the best logos out there.

Its just a new(old) strip down the middle with both brown and gold correct? I love the stripe but it isn't a drastic change. I like it and maybe we will use the throwback jerseys that go with that helmet too. I would like them to use the brown helmet too from time to time.

[CowboyNV]

That is one good looking helmet!!

[ItSucksToBeACSURam]

Oh jesus here we go. Whats next? The basketball team going back to short shorts and Chuck T's? Pandering to the old fogies and totally alienating the youngins. Those helmets are not good. Retro occasionally is ok, but that being the permanent go to helmet sucks.

[ItSucksToBeACSURam]

Im hoping it is a terrible joke. That won't really fit with our current uniforms which only leads me to believe that shortly we will be hearing that that they are going back to the ugly uniforms of yesteryear. Sad day for cowboy fans under the age of 60

A flashback to the Roach glory years. Now, if they'll put "WYOMING" back on the jerseys in large type, we'll be good to go.

I really hope this helmet will not be used for every game. Throwbacks for a game or two is great, but not every game. DC didn't do much well, but he really did great when it came to uniforms (bringing in Nike, multiple combos etc...)

I agree here

I disagree here. I always thought that the brown and gold stripes made the white helmets look better. I also like the symbolism of embracing the brand identity associated with our most recent era of real, consistent success.

In general, I would like to see virtually no white at home. But that is just me.

Perhaps brown lids at home and an all-white on the road?

One more penny and we will have a nickel--which is about about much difference this will make on the scoreboard.

I'm 27 and I love it!

[StarValleyPoke]

I love the stripe. I think it was Dimel who got rid of it as a normal gameday decision. I"d be happy with these but I REALLY HOPE we aren't completely ditching the brown helmets with gold stickers. I was skeptical of those but they are my favorite new uniform tweak of the last 20 years.

[J-Rod]

Not sure how I feel about this.

[OrediggerPoke]

I hope we still keep the forward pass.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!

The unis from 1987-96 era were the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some sanity is coming back to UW!!!!

[ItSucksToBeACSURam]

I hope we still keep the forward pass.

Haha. Touche sir.

[VisorHair]

If they're part of the "rotation" I'm game.. but full-time? Noooooo

Oh....be quiet. I love the old helmets from the Roach/Tiller eras! I hope they are the full-time helmets.

It was the helmet of consistently winning teams
