Spray paint our practice helmets RED :!:

Put white pony decals on them :!:

Wear them at homecoming :!:

Going retro for one game might fire people up :!:

I'd like to beat at least one Div 1A team this year :!:

Much better shade of blue in that photo than what we are using right now.

I'm in!!! YES!!!

Long Overdue!!!

Perhaps we should start a campaign to raise the necessary $$$ to purchase retro unis & helmets for the team; & they can wear the unis a couple of times annually at home & away?

If a Div 1 football player gets up for a game because of change in helmet color then he doesn't belong on the roster.

you are crazy if you don't think 90% of Div. 1/2/3/Pro/High school/ etc. care about how they look when they play. so all of the ponyfans can get fired up about new jersyes/helmets but players can't? they did it as sort of a "throwback" look, I personally have no problem with players being motivated by what they are wearing, especially if it has to do with the history and tradition of the program...

sidenote:
here is a great link to the history of CUSA helmets

How about retro to the point of single bar helmets, or better yet no facemask? That really shouldn't affect our defense, since all we do is flail and grab at the runners with our arms.

Face mask penalties got us 30 yards on our first drive against Houston. Face masks are one of our most potent weapons. Do not take them away.

Our flailing is underrated.

I say we paint our helmets pink until we win another game
