Should we go with white helmets this fall?

[First Sergeant]

I also heard that we are getting a real elephant! Now that is going to be cool. They're going to put him next to BD and let him roam around the stadium to protect the statues.


Off-season is boring......

No white helmets ever!! Man,, you can tell it is the off season....lol

It's so funny, on OU boards some fan will occasionally start the "Black-Out" game and is always scorned. I see it like this, if black is an accent color, like it is for Georgia and Okie Lite, then sure, wear black for a game or two. But if it's not and you do it anyway, you just look dumb. Tennessee, Stanford.

Personally I think we should have black helmets, as an outward show of mourning for the valiant oaks who gave their lives in the service of...higher academic endeavors. They bore that toilet paper proudly, majestically flowing in the wind like the robe of some Grecian god, adorned with the undigested throwings up of drunken Auburn fans, drunk not merely on Bacchian grapes/Natty Light, but the sheer ecstasy of victory*, the center of merriment of a grand festival like in olden days. The children will never know what an oak is like, the feel of the bark, the way the leaves turn to powder between your fingers. They'll hear the stories of times had, sure, but they'll never know what it was like. That is my only regret for the children.



*victory in question not guaranteed through 2012

I this were not so long I would hi-jack it for my sig. Great job!

I agree with Staci on this. If we don't hold something back we are dead in the water for May, June and July. Fight the urge and let this thread die for lack of interest and then resurface in May.

Or we could turn it into the next mega thread...

I'm fine with our current uni's but I wouldn't mind a trans-white helmet to go with the road whites. I have wondered how some grey scheme may look as an alternate....but only as an alternate. I will say that I did like the ProCombat uni much more than I expected, so if we decided to make that permanent....I wouldn't complain either way.

 

[derek4tide]

for the uninitiated, this thread is tongue-in-cheek. Somebody always starts these crazy uniform threads. Usually it's one of our younger members who doesn't appreciate the classic traditions of we MAFCs and OFCs. However, this year looks like we have a preemptive strike from one of our oldtimers

LOL, I'm living my 2nd childhood.....or maybe my 3rd.

The white helmets were old school.:biggrin2:

So were leather helmets...

 

[RazedRite]

Let's start off slowly. How about houndstooth endzones?? Admittedly, I've always been fascinated at the prospect of white helmets for our road unis.

 

[Kevin4Bama]

I think we should wear orange helmets.

Where's weverossi? He'll back me up on this.

Technically, that's sweet, burnt orange. NOT just orange.

 

[swans]

Yes!

 

[mulletover]

The heck with white lids I say Bama should play every game with those chartruese slip ons and pinwheels attached to the top.

 

[TidePrice]

FWIW, Id like to see houndstooth in the logo on the 50 yrd line- something like the old basketball court at Coleman with the Plaid for Wimp.

 

[Honden]

For the Barn game, we could come up with something that would make Oregon proud...

Hey, In for a dime, In for a dollar. Go big or stay at home.

Our endzones should look like this:

Our endzones should look like this:

Can't fool me! I know that diagram is a Wonderlic question. Tell me, what am I solving for?

 

[Alasippi]

You don't change the smile on the Mona Lisa and you don't change the Tide's uniforms.

Simple perfection needs no improvement.

However if some change is inevitable I think we should attach big floppy elephant ears to the sides of the helmets and two long tusks to our facemasks. Maybe a short little elephant tail on the back of the pants would be nice too

How many diamonds are shown?

Technically, that's sweet, burnt orange. NOT just orange.

Not a bad idea. Burnt orange helmets, dark pink pants, and crimson jerseys.
