Tiger 8,818 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I thought maybe I'd touch on something lighter rather than QB and coaching staff debates. There are a few photos floating around out there about hypothetical AU uniform changes, as there are every summer. This time Per WarBlogle and Break Orbit Studios, the slight alteration would be white facemasks. What do you guys think? I wouldn't mind it as an alternate. I thought the different shoe/socks/sleeves/armband combinations our players wore this year were kind of cool. This white facemask is a nod to subtle change but while keeping things about the same. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,471 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I mean, it's alright. I wouldn't overturn furniture over it or anything, but I like the blue or orange ones before that. In fact, I'd probably prefer even an old-school gray one before the white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I forgot to mention the gray facemasks we used back in '07. I didn't like that as it seemed like an Ohio State knockoff helmet to me. Although the absence of the AU decal on the sides probably contributed to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a throwback to an earlier AU helmet from the 1957 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheartkc 6,150 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm fine with it for night games, but in the daytime, a white face mask would be inclined to catch the sun and potentially obscure vision for the wearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,849 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Wow, that makes the helmet look quite different. Funny how something so small can make such a big difference. I'm kinda with Titan on this in that it's kinda meh. I wouldn't hate it by any stretch but I prefer the o or b I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know we only used it one game -- vs Vandy but I wasn't a fan. My opinion might change however if the AU decal was on there. It just looked like the plain OSU helmets to me.

ValleyTiger 2,894 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I prefer the blue mask we use. It breaks up the mostly white helmet perfectly in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
