Nah, they just shift color a bit in the light, depending on your angle when you look at them.

That's what I thought at first until Schor and Sharp were right beside each other walking and the colors were different.

Raven Green's helmet is definitely a darker shade of purple than everyone elses. It's not even close.

I'll look again. Maybe it's something to do with different amounts of sealant/coating?

RE: Uniform Surprise
My guess is that there are different helmets and different primers used. Some may have been painted over and over again while others are first time use. Raven Green is five years into the program, he may like one and only one helmet and ask for it to be painted and redone as the game requirements change. Of course this is only speculation, but I can tell you during my racing days, my driver wanted to wear the same helmet every Sunday. He didn't mind practicing in a different one, but come race day, he wanted the same one. I personally cleaned it with soap and water each week to get the funk out (occasionally having a new paint scheme on it) and on raceday hung it in the car for use.

Nice new unis! The Duke Dog on the waistband is a nice touch, can't tell if it's on the purple and not sure why its not on the white... I like them nonetheless.

RE: Uniform Surprise
Why are the black ones the only uniforms with the smaller arm holes? I would like that should I be playing.

Those are great uniforms! I even like the grey one. Very cool.
The more I see the new logo the less I like the old "JMU".

Gray unis are pretty cool.

Anyone have any info on what the Lady Dukes unis will be like?

RE: Uniform Surprise
for all the complaining many of us did about the rebranding... damn, JMU got this one right - the skinny M leg must die

they really are doing a good job with the cross-media / apparel / print consistency
