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).

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.

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 like the possible competitive edge of sunlight being reflected into opposing players' eyes that the traditional helmets may provide.

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?

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.
