(UNOFFICIAL) Chrome Michigan helmet
I don't know who this YouTuber is but he popped up on my feed. He built a mock-up of a chrome Michigan helmet. This is not sanctioned in any way by the school (as far as I know) so it's not happening in a game (as far as I know). It's just an interesting take on what a chrome Michigan helmet might look like, so I thought I'd share. Don't shoot the messenger.

Bang!
Ew, no. That's a winged golden dome!
Don’t even have to see it to know it’s a big “fuck no”
I think you should because this one is truly hideous. The wings aren’t even Maize.
It’s Armadillo
I believe the official name for this color scheme is "shart barf"
Fuck no is an understatement
Horrendous!
I'm not even going to look. Some things you can un-see.
I immediately threw up.
I'll bet it looked better than the helmet.
I think you forgot/meant to say "not" in your second sentence. It appears that that's been happening a lot lately.
Yep. No edit function (yet!)
Why can’t we downvote threads on the board? If we could (-1)
I guess now is a good time to post that outrageous material guaranteed to cause a shitstorm...
No.
NO.
NO!!!
Not clicking because I already know that it’s gross.
I say "no" to this abomination.
This is a disgusting abomination of unholy proportions.
I’d love to see them wear a chrome helmet for a home night game.
OK. I just watched 30 seconds of that video. Terrible. That isn’t maize and the blue is not chrome. It’s ND gold on a matte blue helmet. So bad.
"To clarify, I misspoke. I meant to say I WOULDN'T love to see them wear a chrome helmet for a home night game."
Wouldn't be against some sort of chrome helmet but this is awful. The colors don't pop.
As far as new helmet technology goes, I tend to be a bigger fan of the Xenith technology compared to Vicis
Did not even look at it.
Come on millineals,, STOP
Flat black with Maize wings.
If you think that is Maize you must either be colorblind or work for Adidas.
What about flat black wings with Maize helmet?
What about fuck no?
All chromed up maize/blue helmets. All maize jerseys, socks, and shoes.
Not trying to pick on you because lots of people are saying this, but what exactly do you guys think "Chrome Maize" is supposed to look like?
Plain sheeeeit?
Don't even think about tampering with perfection.
Has the potential to be cool but the colors are all screwed up.
The matte blue looks cool. Id like to see it mocked up with the wings actually being maize instead of gold.
There are a lot of comments on that video from people who love that hideous thing. They simply have to be feeders to the stream, rather than actual fans of Michigan. That thing sucks donkey ass.
Yes. I noticed that, too.
You guys are all just freaking out because you want it to be taboo to touch the helmet. This chrome helmet is sick. The youtube comment section is full of people saying they aren't Michigan fans but this helmet is amazing. I don't want to see the team wear it but other than that it is a sweet ass helmet.
No. Michigan has The best helmet in college football...period. You don’t fuck with perfection.
“Sick” in the old man sense, yes, in the catagory of vomit and severed limbs.
That was so much worse than I expected. Awful execution.
burn
with
fire
then explode with tactical nuclear device.
Good God. This is the football equivalent of putting a mustache on the Mona Lisa.
This falls under former Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's famous definition of obscenity: "I know it when I see it."
Boo this man! Boo!
Seriously, it doesn't do anything for me. Overall, it doesn't pop. Then, the colors aren't "right". That's not maize and that's not our blue. It wouldn't fit with the jersey, you'd have to change the jersey.
I have no issue with people bring up alternative unis but this one doesn't look right to me.
That thing is hideous. I'd be embarrassed to put the two helmets next to each other.
Don't mess with the helmet evert. Never try to fix what is not broken.
Maryland, on the other hand, really needs to fix theirs.
I know everyone in here hates that helmet and I agree its off. This is one that they should have went back to the drawing board and did again. The concept is cool as shit but the maize is off and the matte just doesn't pop at all.
They should have done the whole thing in chrome or tried reversing the matte. They could have done the blue in chrome and the maize in matte.
Kill it with fire.
Never touch the helmet, EVER!
It's a helmet only worn in Bolivia. That should tell you just how bad it looked. But the guy hosting literally would but a nut in it. That is how much he loved it.
Yeah, I'm going to shoot the messenger. The chrome looks horrible no matter what. I never want to see a Michigan helmet in chrome.
