Haha thanks. I have one more just about done, just waiting for the paint on the facemask to dry. With this cold weather and low humidity for some reason it is taking forever for it to dry.

Thank god you don't run Wyoming's football program. Who knows how many of these new combinations and helmets influenced recruits to go to Laramie? I like both those helmets.....the old 80's ones? Meh.
 
I don't know if its about influencing as much as it is about competing in the recruiting game. You look at the major schools we are trying to compete with and they have some awesome nike stuff so we have to match it.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. It helps the program improve in recruiting.
 
Hopefully the revolution helmets will be a stupid fad like all the Oregon combo uniforms.

Good luck with either of those ha. They are the trendsetters. The ducks evolve the game in terms of on field looks. The bar is set and they will continue to raise it and teams will continue to chase it.

Actually the don't. "Revolution helmets have been proven through studies to reduce the risk of head injury. One major study on the helmet’s effectiveness was conducted by a team from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The research compared the Revolution helmet with other models. 2,000 high school players participated in the study which took place over the course of three years. Research showed that 5.4% of the athletes wearing the Revolution helmet suffered a concussion during a game as opposed to 7.6% of the players wearing the older model helmets. High school players wearing the Revolution helmet were 31% less likely to experience a concussion" :twocents:
 
Left side is good.
Right side needs a good looking cowboy.

Do you ever put Wyoming's flag on the helmet?
