IMO I don't really like any of those three. If I had to choose I would pick the one that says Cyclones

Another example of how good our athletic department did with the new helmets. The Cyclone nation can't be blown away by those options.
I proudly chose to be a Falcon and a Falcon I will remain until the end.

However, the Rhythm Nation seems to enjoy them. :-D

Agreed on that. Not a fan of any of those. Their last helmet was the best, but still not a great helmet.

I still wish we would have put the new falcon head on the helmet along with the BG. It is good that we don't have 1 of those 3 options that the Cyclones have!

My thoughts exactly. If were an ISU fan, I'd be asking about where the choice was for the one they wore last year. As for BG's new helmet this year, I love the BG on it and I'm really happy it's orange and not white.
GO BG!!!

Agreed, all three are fairly unimpressive. If I had to pick one of the three though, I'd go with the "I State" one.

All three are exactly the same, except for the lettering on the side. That is, white helmet, yellow and red stripe along the top. Why wouldn't you come up with three uniques choices? I guess it is because the unis have already been picked and they are just deciding which ugly helmet goes best with the unis.

Any of the Bowling Green's helmets over the past 30 years are better than any of those.

We're blessed. A lot of other schools' uniforms look pretty bad compared to us.

I feel that the "Angry Chicken" is vastly underrated...sincerely, Hawaii's Rainbow Helmets
