Season Poster features Matte Helmet?
This poster was tweeted my Coach Funk. I assume this is the official season poster? It appears to me that this is the matte helmet similar to the one in the Outback Bowl. Are we to assume it will be worn again this season?

don't mind the matte. Now, lots of the other things...
They look sharp in this context.

You and Anthony Weiner need to team up in some sort of a sitcom. "The Adventures of Ron Mexico and Carlos Danger" Sorry for the politics, but someone needs to make that happen.

It is a failure in the modding system that this gif is scored as "5 Normal".
I don't mind the helmet either, as it is subtle (although I'd prefer no change), but I shudder to think of the jerseyz that will go with it.
Not matte, but it's great to see the classic design still goes well with modern helmets (not that we haven't seen it before).
Then again, it's not gunna not look great.
I like the matte finish though, I think it is a great look.
I doubt the season poster is a good indicator of this sort of thing... The helmet in the poster looks sort of ambiguously between matte and normal, and to be honest I doubt the graphics design group they hired to make the poster is even privy to that sort of information, they probably just drew up a helmet that looked cool on paper (and it does).
I like the Matte helmets too. Wait, what? I like the Matte helmets????
Meh. As far as UNIFORMZ go, a matte helmet (as long as the design isn't changed) isn't really a huge change or bad idea. And that's assuming it actually happens.
I'm all for any of our winged helmets that don't get scuffed, scratched and damaged and look like crap on TV.
i love scuffed helmets...battle scars.
looks pretty reflective around the ear hole too. not sure it's matte so much as just photo-shopped to look smooth.

THat's a good point. It's probably just the photoshop effects to make it have similar characteristics to the matte finish.

You might wanna re-think that signature picture if you post a lot in the same thread. Kinda big in the vertical direction.
I mostly mention b/c I used to post on the Pistons.com message board and it was a major problem - like 90% of your screen at any given time was somebody's signature and 10% was commentary.

I'd rather have the helmet than a ridiculous jersey. I thought it looked pretty good in the bowl game last year.
Here's your matte helmet.
Shall forever live in infamy of an unblocked defensive end teeing off on a tiny RB?
...I like the possible competitive edge of sunlight being reflected into opposing players' eyes that the traditional helmets may provide.

If we don't, they suck.

It actually looks like graphite or something. It's got a shine to it. TAMU has a helmet that has a consistancy that looks like this...I'm not saying we do too, but it actually looks good.

Were those the helmets that they wore in the Outback Bowl? I thought they were really cool. Any idea if they are wearing any alternate uniforms this season for any regular season games?
Would love to see matte blue with hydrochrome maize helmets in a concept form.

The matte blue with glossy maize wings is kind of a throwback to the original winged helmet design, when the wings were actually composed of a different piece of material than the rest of the helmet.

I guess I'm the only one that doesn't really like the matte helmets. It doesn't look right in the sun.
