I find it extremely unlikely that Nike would incorporate an adidas stock design image (the wings we had were also used by EMU as well as a few other colleges and high schools), so hopefully this is just a concept or sample.

Nike designed a very nice college uniform set for the Browns, hoping we get something just as nice. I'd like to see an orange chrome option and a large scale Falcon head.

I could be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure our helmets are completely independent from our uniforms. Whether we had adidas or now have Nike, I'm pretty certain that contract revolves around more of the clothing part such as the jersey, pants, shoes, socks, gloves, etc. The helmets worn are usually either Riddell or Schutt. So unless it's something like a chin strap or shield which could be something from Nike, I'm guessing the helmet shell and logos are BG's decisions.
GO BG!!!

The helmet pictured is an old mock up. We will not be wearing it.

Strange that a coach would tweet that picture if the design isn't going to be used

This right here is exactly why I'm glad I'm on this board. When there are rumors circulating that are untrue, the people in charge will come on here to set the record straight.

You trust that joker? For all we know, BGSU SID is Factman sitting at B-Dub's with a beer in his hand hacking into that account. Nope. Not me. I don't trust Factman :D

Thank goodness as those wings were truly hideous. Just like we don't need slogan rip-offs from other schools, we don't need their uniform designs either.
