Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2008 12:20 pmPosted: Fri Jun 27, 2008 12:40 pmThe SMU Bookstore has had the Riddell mini-helmets for sale for several weeks now. I figured it would be the circa 2002 model since they busted those out. All of the CUSA helmets look pretty good except Rice - owl wings looked the best - it's kinda hard to get fired up about that "R" - ECU could use something PeeDee related, but they're still not that bad.
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2008 12:40 pmWhat was UAB thinking?
Posted: Fri Jun 27, 2008 12:43 pmThose will be the new helmets.
I've heard that UAB may be changing their design and unveiling it soon. Something a bit similar to LSU. A block UAB on the top and the smaller blazer head underneath that.
I think they want to get the letters UAB more play.
TIFWIW

You'd think they wouldn't want to admit being from UAB.

The white helmet is a lot better. The blue helmet without the outline on the logo ... ugh, I promised myself I'd never think about that season again.

There's much more than just CUSA:

As for Rice, Bergermeister, I like the 1976 with the plain script "Rice" the best.
Other than our helmets, the best historical helmet in CUSA was Memphis' 1981-1985: Navy with silver script "Tigers" and silver and white stripe.

I agree that the script Rice helmet is by far their best looking in a crowd of mostly awful. The curent stencil R is lame. As for Memphis, I think their script helmet certainly looks better than anything else they have ever done but it looks too much like baseball script.
My ranking of helmets in C-USA are:
1) SMU
2) UTEP
3) UH
4) Marshall
5) UCF
6) Tulsa
The rest all need serious help!

Posted: Sun Jun 29, 2008 9:54 amI take it you rank our white helmet #1 not our blue helmet.
Going back to the white helmet is the best thing we have done since hiring June Jones.

Posted: Sun Jun 29, 2008 12:40 pmI like script Rice too-hate all other Rice helmets with a passion. Those stupid looking "Eagles" looking helmets are the worst-I know some love them but I think look like puke.
