HoD helmet

[meaniegreenie]

Thank you "Baby RV Santa Mac Jesus" for this!!!!!

[NT91]

Keep them for next season!

NT is 3-0 with the SOW on the helmet.

The helmet looked great in person on the field and it looks awesome in the ESPN replay. The carbon fiber with the soft metallic eagle is unreal. I love it.

I was having a conversation with a poster a couple of weeks ago and we mentioned the idea of green on black. i, admittedly, didn't think we would do that; didn't trust them to do something unique. i am SO glad i was wrong. helmets were awesome.

i would like to add that helmet to my 100th anniversary helmet!

[meangreener]

We should just use these for special occasions, though. Keep them special. We need a uniform redesign next year. Get North Texas off the damn helmets. The SOW is here to stay. Our highest publicized games we've had the SOW. No excuses anymore. The helmets today didn't look cheap either (helmet stickers) and our new ones should be to that level of quality, IMO. I do think we need to be wearing green more often, the uniforms just need a redesign, not to look so cheap. I love the black ones but they should be an alternate.

Fox Sports 1 gives us the nod as one of the most awesome helmets of the postseason.

Maybe some comments about the game will prompt them to talk more about the play, and not just the helmet? (Which does still deserve a lot of talk.)

[Proud North Texan]

Guys I really want one!! NOW please!!

Please guys check with them if the are planning on selling them like the ones for 100th anniversary.

Thanks and Go Mean green

Bring this jersey out to open the season against SMUt. Then wear green the rest of the year, but put SOW on the helmet.

[GRN-WHT]

More people will buy these than the worm helmet. Put them on auction!

It seems as if the RV took away his argument of using "North Texas" as exposure when our biggest games were with the SOW.

I agree with you. SOW should always be are helmet. Bust out these black ones for big games (ie SMU).

I does look like he's changed his mind and, for that, I thank him greatly!

[NT91]

Let's hope he has.

Those were AMAZING!!! I love us wearing green, and would still love to see a two tone green uniform. Otherwise, we need a green version of this helmet for regular wear next year, or we need to stick with this, and wear black pants at home with a modernized green jersey. The mint green helmet is just too...minty.

Dear God in Heaven, I WANT one of these!

[MeanGreenGlory]

These helmets are amazing!!

[Texas Stranger]

I wanna see today's hemet and jersey, but with green pants. Maybe put a black stripe down the side of the green pants

[Aquila_Viridis]

green eagle on helmet = win

[FirefightnRick]

Awesome.

The only question I have now is where am I going to get a '68 MSA John & Roy in carbon fiber?

LOL!

Rick

[Mean Green Eagle]

That was the best-looking helmet yet! AWESOME!!!

[JesseMartin]

Everybody loved the helmets today, looked great on TV but I'd love to see them in person

Is the SOW a sticker or not?

Yes it's a sticker.

[JesseMartin]

Yes it's a sticker.

Thanks, I thought so. Wish there was a way to have it on there some other way than to use a sticker. I assume there must be but it probably costs a pretty penny.

[meangreener]

Apparently they wanted new helmets but didn't have time. The entire helmet was a sticker. The carbon fiber covering, I mean. They used the SOW helmet in all the media things, I'd be willing to bet money it's gone. 3-0 with the eagle on the helmet and our defining wins this season (Rice and this) we were wearing it. Boom. Done.

[H-towngreen]

I kinda thought the entire thing was a sticker. Whatever, still looked badass! And I suppose it saved us moola

[Cerebus]

I don't care if it is a sticker. I want one on my shelf, please sell them like the 100 Year helmets.
