Ohio State: New Black Helmets

Submitted by markusr2007 on

More uniformz sacrilege coming your way because apparently everything that ever existed must be destroyed by 21st century creative marketing grads.  The mary jane leaves become all the more relevant and appropriate. "So many bong hits man, I blacked out..."

Don't give too much credit to millennials... Brandon comes from a different generation. Also, those helmet stickers are too big. They might as well be participation trophies #something-for-everyone

Then they ruined them. For some reason, when they went to the new modern sleeves that fit around the shoulder pad, they eliminated most of the silver on the uniform, which used to be a wide band. The silver combined with the scarlet was what made the uniforms good. Now they look like a version of Wisconsin.

Their road jerseys are grey and white. Before I even knew who or what Ohio State was to Michigan, I was appalled. I remember as a second grader seeing Michigan on every Saturday on ABC. We only had two channels. Their was this really highly ranked Ohio State team that just had the ugliest colors. Made me think of grey boring Saturday fall afternoons. They choked a lot too. I thought man these guys suck. Guess we cant say that nowa days!

They're gonna look like Rutgers when they play PSU as they're already wearing a black jersey. Make sense since evil is associated with black, red and white.

Also, I love that our fanbase is so against radical changes to our great uniforms like this. People would spew blood from their eyes if Michigan ever touched the winged helmet design. Many were pissed about the matte finish in 2012 for the bowl game.

I would like nothing more than for Michigan to come out with some Chuck' E' Cheese ass looking cartoon wolverine on the helmet for a game.  Scrap the wings, just a goofy snarling wolverine.  

If nothing more than just to gauge how many people on here would literally* stroke out.  It would make my week reading that meltdown thread...

People born in 1937 don't count so they'd at least have to be 12 or 13 in that year to MAYBE have some grainy memory. But even then, that's still pretty young considering they'd be 91. Who knows for sure? I'd definitely like to hear from someone who does remember. Michigan wore two kinds of leather helmets pre-winged. A plain, brown leather one and a black one with white crossing stripes on the head.

Then why don't you all have a say?

Did you hire an AD that ignores you too?

You need to have some near-riots in whatever constitutes the Diag for you guys.  Make sure you have someone dress up in Michigan colors to show that you'd rather support the Wolverines than your AD.

It would especially help if you have some incriminating emails on your AD by some guy called "Buckeye Devotee".

What is the point of an alternate helmet?  For alternate jerseys, I can understand the rationale - they're a merchandising grab.   But is there really a big market for people looking to buy a replica alternate helmet?

Oh yeah, I remember that guy. Coached at Temple under Addazio before joining Urban Meyer staff at tOSU.

IIRC isn't he the seemingly insecure Receiver Coach Savant that got into it with Jedd Fisch on Twitter?

Seemed like a tool.
