        You old-timers will hate it but I love these. Only thing is I think the front face guard would look better in a white or silver.

          I am one of the old guys. But I do have to say I like this helmet. Has an edge to it. I would guess the guys wearing them would flip for them.

            Please let this be bogus. As much as I hate our UH logo, I hate Chewie a thousand times more.

            That and this helmet looks high school to me.

              I'm mixed on these but can live with them if this is for real. I do think, as Dwight mentioned, a white face guard would improve the look.

                I am not a fan of our new logo either but I must say that helmet looks pretty sharp. I am a Power K guy so I have been dissatisfied for years now.

                  I think I'm in the minority who likes that logo. I've always thought UK, especially in football, is not iconic enough to have a plain logo the way other schools do, especially the plain white UK we have used in the past.

                  I liked the Power K and would be okay with using that again too, but I love these helmets.

                    I'm not much on the new logo, but like the helmets with the black face guard.
                    Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.

                      That logo is also being used by Washington State and Kansas State. I don't know why UK has to use someone else's logo? Can't they come up with a unique one of their own?

                        See my avatar. That is the proper mix of tradition and modernity. The fornicating birds need to go. They are worse than the checker boards.

                        I can't avoid buying things with the UH, I would never purchase anything with Chewie on it, and can tolerate the checkerboard in small doses even though the horse never played a down for us.
