I like it.    I really do like all the Branding that UTEP does.   I think they do a great job with colors and graphics.

I must be old fashioned. I liked the old uTep helmet.

Great look for the Miners, plus the pick is actually a T shape for Texas.

I like that helmet a lot.  Good job UTEP.

Did UT approve the helmet?   Do all the UT branches have to have the same colors, both UTSA and UTEP have the same colors, just wonder if UT forces that because UTEP use to be burnt orange white back in the day.

I think they all have some shade of orange in common. UT Dallas is orange and green, for example.

getting rid of the horn stripe on their old helmet is a step in the right direction...

I don't care what they say - UTSA copied UTEP's design

@UTSA Fan 

Let's be honest, when you guys were starting your program and the uniforms first came out nobody thought..... looks mighty similar to another UT system school

They do look alike, but how many variations can one make of a 1970s fella in a cowboy hat? Might as well throw the Dallas Cowboy mascot into this convo.

 

initial internet digging mentions NMSU and Wyoming. No link to the UTEP prospector.

That's going to be a good look for UTEP.

I like it.

Sorry. I'm from El Paso and all things UTEP are gross and garbage. Awful school with a trashy fanbase.

 Thanks two of my kids  graduated from UTEP.   You could not like a place and don't have to be an ass about it

I like it.  I've always got a soft spot in my heart for UTEP thanks to all the time I used to spend out there for work.  I know their fans get a little nutty at the games (Read:  Physically violent), but the city was always so friendly and welcoming, and they do so love their Miners there.

 I have not always been the biggest fan of UTEP. But if you take a look at the changes they're making on campus they are really doing some nice things
