IF white looks the best its what we need to go with. SMU had white helmets for nearly 25 years and they always looked good. I know it is harder to take care of, but look at penn state they have solid white helmets and they are one of the most recognized looks in college football. Plus when SMU had the pony express and some of the best teams ever we wore white. But if not white then red i think is the next best color helmet

I guess there is one thing we can all agree on is that no one likes the current uniforms & helmet.

I've been called a nobody for a long time, so that comment doesn't hurt my feelings. I like the current helmet and colors, though I could do without the side panels nike uses on the uniforms. Having said that, I do like FWMustang's ideas for a new/old look.

I like them better than anything to date except the 1940s unis....
The only thing I'd change is to really go back to "Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue".

But Navy and Blood Red (although I wouldn't be averse to the Navy jerseys) are preferable to the crap they wore straight back from the DP...but hey, I must be a nobody too.

Fan of the home reds. Not gonna lie. Really like the all white from the 80's too. Very college football-ie.

I happen to think blue helmet and red jerseys look very good. I won't cry if we go to red or white helmet though.

You ... party pooper. :D

I think the scratches should be left in. Gives them a battle-scarred look. Adds an element of toughness to the appearance. Shiny and glistening is OK for the first game of the year, but after that, leave them scratched.

Those of you in Washington (EastStang and ... someone else) will remember the great Dave Butz. He used to stand in the tunnel under RFK and beat the hell out of his helmet before games against a brick or cinderblock wall so it was scratched and scuffed before he got on the field. Not that he needed any help, but he always looked like he'd kill someone just for looking at him.

BRING BACK THE WHITE HELMETS, and WEAR WHITE JERSEYS AT HOME.

If we are going old school, why not use the old helmets before the current mustang logo? You can see all of our old helmets. Just a thought. Get totally away from the current junk (on and off the field). By the way, I like the old school idea with the brown pants and plain jerseys.

The uniforms in the early 80s (Pony Express days), were by far the best IMHO in my lifetime.

Minor tweeks are fine. Red helmets look like Razorback helmets to me. Khaki-colored pants - no thanks.

I'll support the team no matter what, but I just wish they would pick one solid design and stick with it instead of changing every few years!
