Transformers, anyone? Seems to be Michael Bay inspired.

That's tragic. But it's UConn.

Also, why is the top glossy and the sides matte?

That's why I'm thinking they might be practice helmets. Gloss just comes from the sticker they applied.

You do NOT make fun of Drag-queen Sammy, you hear!?

But seriously, I like these helmets.

Are you sure the one on the left isn't the Penn State helmet? Looks like a Pedophile lion to me...

I like the creativity. Football helmets could be much more interesting.

Although they aren't going to look very interesting in profile on TV...

The rougher matte-finish surface might have better adhesion for the billion or so glossy paw-print helmet stickers that will surely be placed quickly on the sides of these toppers.

The rougher matte-finish surface might have better adhesion for the billion or so sponsor stickers (like NASCAR) that will surely be placed quickly on the sides of these toppers.

Fixed it for you...

That would require UConn to be good and do something worthy of those stickers 05-stirthepot
