Hmmm the single stripe helmet. Seems to me Precious had already brought that back...on the red helmets when he perfected the BEST white-T graphic by the sports graphic company from up north.

No. It still had the State T. HD and I are talking about nothing but a red stripe on a white helmet. I don't think a single white stripe on a plain red helmet would look as good, but I would have to see it.Quote:

You and HD talk all you want.
I'm talking about the single stripe. Dooley brought it back, regardless of the color.
Having a throwback helmet with a single stripe (or a helicopter) and no logo is a waste of marketing opportunities in this day and age.
You and Houston are talking Apples and Oranges. The red helmet with the single stripe that Dooley brought back --with the "White T" of course-- is my fav. And Skip brought it back again last year. LOVE IT!Quote:

A G5 dropping logos is messing with its identity, throwback or not. Just my opinion. Carry on.
As much as people harp on identity, I don’t think they’d go for that.
I don't even know what that is supposed to mean...and don't care. The helmet is already there, on the top row of the helmet rack in Post #1.Quote:

Here's the two photos:

The problem with the 2nd version is that the 3 stripes down the middle looks a little busy, or crowed, and makes it look blended from a distance. Sometimes, it ends up looking "purple" from a distance. That's why I like the cleaner, less-crowded white stripe only, down the middle.
I expect there are some who want to see us in black uniforms. Blasphemy!Quote:
