RE: White football helmets?
I've seen people in the stands wearing those pink ones. Were those auctioned?

All these uniforms and helmets don't come free. Money has to come from somewhere. There's no CEO out there saying, "I think I'll take the cost of those white helmets out of my pay." I just know it's probably the reason underwear prices keep going up.

Good question. I wonder about that part too... On the other hand, Under Armour is the little brother to Nike and Adidas. UA wants exposure, whereas Nike couldn't care less how many variations a mid-major shows up with. I'd think UA is making it much more affordable than the others would.

Don't know how the helmets looked up close, but overall I didn't care for the look.

The close up photo of the white helmet looks cool, but from the stands, you could barely see the Rocket. I didn't care for white helmets and white pants with blue jersey's that have gold numerals. I thought the Rockets were coming out in all white today, guess we will have to wait and see that look in a road game.

Wasn't the biggest fan of the white helmets complimented with the midnight blue jerseys. With that said, I think those white helmets with white jerseys & pants would look amazing.

Agree, the all white would work but then that's what I posted on the last uniform thread, with gold (yellow) face masks. I did like the gold-blue trim on the pants. High class.

I didn't mind the white and overall like the different color combinations, it's fun. But I was extremely vocal on this board for that pink fiasco last year. Especially when our logo was removed for a pink ribbon, that just pissed me off and went to far. Our guys play for Toledo not a pink ribbon.. On principle it wasn't even breast cancer awareness month anymore and that was a made for tv strong arm by UA. Plus I thought they looked horrible. It was too much drama and distraction on what was our biggest game of the year.

I agree. I think the white helmets with blue and gold jerseys looked horrible on Saturday. Is it just me or shouldn't the helmets and pants match the jersey? Additionally the rocket log was two small, you could barely see it on TV. I don't mind the different uniform combo's, but please make sure all three match. I would really like to see the blue helmets, blue jersey and gold pants with blue and white side stripe. I think that would look really slick. Would even like to see the "toledo w/rocket" helmet logo sticker once in a while again. The one thing I liked about that helmet logo is that everybody knew who they were watching on TV.

Bring back the gold pants! I think we're mostly all in agreement with that one, eh?

We are one of the more recognized teams in the MAC. Lets keep it that way, and stay with one color combo...

Those helmets wouldn't be compliant anymore with concussion standards. But the EQ team has those logos still. Only they would go on the matte helmets if we used them.

I thought the white helmets looked awful with those jerseys. Just didnt fit. If the jerseys were blue with white, they would have matched and looked good. I'd say stick to blue or yellow. I have loved all of the different logos we have used on the helmets, most notably the large rocket by itself. I actually like all the helmet logos over the last two years more than the ones that say Toledo under the logo like the one pictured above.

Whatever happened to the larger rocket logo...haven't seen it in a while and thought it looked really cool. It stands out and is easy to see...especially on a TV.
