Helmet Color?

[UK Peregrine]

I am a proud grad - class of 85 - and love the brown and orange, but could we please stop waxing on about the damn uniforms and helmet colors. I couldn't care less if we wore pink, orange or magenta as long as they win. Nobody cares what we think anyway.

bgou, I took issue with your post.

I commend you on commenting in this forum with your first post. A lot of people just read, which is great, but very few open themselves to criticism which is very admirable. It is obvious that you are a "proud grad" and I do not want to be confrontational, but the negative spin on an otherwise constructive forum was unnecessary.

I imagine many here, including myself being relatively new to ay-ziggy-zoomba, feel that this is a nice way to discuss all issues concerning BGSU past and present. And since we are all waiting for the first game with OU, this is maybe a less relevant discussion that can still be informative, even it doesn't affect the team in any real way. Once the season begins, discussions will undoubtedly switch to games and the goal of having a winning program that shines on national scale. In fact, I have been complimented on BGSU's great season in 2003 on a number of occasions here at the University of Kentucky, not that I had anything to really do with it. However, despite the uncomplicated issue in this forum, it is still likely that many here are interested in getting the new jersey this year and may even collect BGSU or MAC helmets. This discussion is a nice way to feel as a part of the team by being a fan that wants to informed about their team and not just a spectator.

My other issue is that you think that no one cares what anyone on this site thinks. Obviously, you are not a booster of BG Athletics, because Athletics programs definitely care what we think. The next time you feel the need to rip people on this site, make sure you back up your argument with more than rhetoric stating that no one cares what we think. We are all just trying to get a little more information on our team and trying to show them our support in anyway we can, even if it is only about their uniforms at this time.

To be honest with you guys, I don't even notice the difference, it all looks the same orange to me. Maybe it looks different because there is no white in the middle of the logo. I think it looks the same color of the uniforms.
McMetz, love the avatar.

I was thinking the same thing. I think the flash from the camera might have had something to do with the color.

Thanks! My Antonio dunking the bball one was too big in file size so it is no more. I got bored though earlier today and was going through all my BGNews photos and came up with the new one. The Pope inspiration came from a street sign I found the other day laying by an apartment complex with the street name Pope on it from CR 278 or something like that. I am going to spray paint Train on it behind the Pope and make it my official Pope Train sign to take to the games. I didn't steal it from the actual pole it was sitting on so I don't think it counts for being illegal!!!

If anyone else wants an avatar made, let me know! I got tons of every sport except football and can make you something if ya want! Being in the band, it's hard to take football pics while playing an instrument Any other sports I can hook you up with though!

I was hoping for metallic flake brown color for the helmets.

Or maybe, how about a white helmet, with a brown stripe, front to back. With the revised traditional logo in its normal place?
