I admit it - I was not thrilled with the idea of a new helmet - but after seeing it I really like it.

I agree, I think it looks great and I think it looks the best out of any of the helmets that we have ever worn.

Actually, I think it my be a bit too big. Looks like the top part is going around the round, top part of the helmet, which distorts it slightly.

From the stands, I don't believe it will be terribly distorted.

I believe thsese helmets are a "win" and not bad to look at, overall.

Looks pretty good to me. I think I like it better than the version we've had the past couple years, since they took the white out of the center of the logo.

I also miss the old logo with the white inside the Falcon. I didn't care for the empty logo the last few years as much and I am not a big fan of the new "retail" logo. Anyone can put their letters on a helmet but the old Falcon logo set us apart in my opinion.

I like it...it's clean, it's crisp and even macman can spell "BG" without a typo...
