Uniform Prediction Thread - 2017 Game 1 - CSU (Home)



I know this has been posted before, but a different take here. One of the things that makes our traditional helmets so awesome is the minimalist buffalo. On our black helmets, it looks like they slapped a sticker on it -> quite different.

Yeah, okay, so you can see the clear outline on the gold helmet at this distance, but not from afar, and I like how it is less busy.

I wonder what it would have looked like on the black helmet to do the buffalo in gold without a stripe on the outside so it is just an opposite of the look of the gold helmet with a black buffalo? I can't make up my mind if that would have worked or sucked.

To extend that thought - I'd like to see the black buffalo from the gold helmet on the silver and white ones to see what it would look like.

I'd really like to lose all of the gold on the silver helmets, too.

Just black on the silver helmets would look sweet, I think.

Would love to see the helmets changed to address this. Black helmet has a gold buffalo with black CU for example; silver helmet has black buffalo with silver CU.
 
Probably me but I'd really enjoy seeing the CU on the helmet again...and bring back the damn buff stickers on the back. God I'm old
 
It looks like we're wearing captain's C's on the jerseys this season. I don't think we've done that in years.


I remember Bobby Purify with a C on the jersey years ago.

Edit: Looks like P-Rich had one too, more recently than Purify.

Edit edit: Sefo too. I guess it happens a lot. I'm dumb.
