Exactly. I'm concerned that all these new football programs are copying LA Tech's logo brand style with their own state. LA Tech's used to be unique (and is still the best known)....but now everybody's piling on.

Yeah, you keep thinking Punch U innovated the idea or that other G5s are "copying". 03-lmfao

Not to mention the fact that last time I checked Punch U is 1-2 with only an FCS win to their name.

Uh, using a state silhouette wasn't ever unique. You guys have just stuck with it the longest. This is only a handful of examples besides the aforementioned Marshall helmets:

RE: FAUs new helmet
Wait so this is the permanent helmet, logo and colors now? I can't keep track because they seem to change every 3 months....

The navy helmet with the owl was WAY better. Not a fan of a different logo on each side of the helmet. Was bad enough with the owl on one side and the number on the other. I was hoping this was just temporary.

And how this team loses games continues to be a joke . Talent is there to win 7 or 8 and they will probably win 2 or 3 games because they flub it up all the time and epically blow games.

Oh now you have done it. Throwing facts into a tech argument. Get out of here with all of that rationality.
Apparently tech invented the football helmet. Wish they would have invented an automatic dog watering bowl though.

The word Tech is like catnip to them, they have to post something negative. It does not matter where comments are made. They troll the university's twitter feed, they rummage around news articles, they are obsessed. If anyone finds a repellent for them I for one would be most appreciative.

As a conference we are true pioneers. La tech using the state in its logo and the Goats invented chrome. I am proud to just be able to say we are apart of these true leaders of sports fashion.

Both UTSA and FAU new helmets don't look good IMO. A&M has been using the Texas state logo for years so I don't know why UTSA decided to use it.

Don't see how either is any different than what La Tech does.

None of them innovated the idea. None of the designs have much creativity, just a simple outline of the states.

Do you like it? It just looks very odd like it is helmet out of the 70's.
I don't know how long Tech has been using it maybe 40 years or longer in some form, so there is something to be said for the FBS school in each state that's already using the outline like A&M was. You wouldn't see other FBS, UT or Texas Tech trying to copy the state outline because A&M is already using it

The State T was first used in '68. So 47 years and going.

I like the UTSA logo, FAU...I liked the blue with owl much better.

Liked ours at first but there's no creativity or uniqueness to it so it's grown stale. I see the same faults in yours and FAU's as well. I'm not seeing what sets your helmet apart from ours and FAU's--using a bland design longer doesn't magically make the design not bland.

I hope I don't have to explain why Florida's outline is not one of those.
The Seminoles have used Florida-outline helmets in the past, with the word "STATE" printed inside the lines. But that was '60s and '70s, IIRC.

Thanks, HP. Can't remember exactly when FSU used those, but I'm fairly certain it was pre-Bowden
