What's the color of the helmet? Is it orange?

Can someone tell me how this process works? I love our helmets and the blues but this would be very cool to do. Who pays for this? Do the networks have any say in this? Are they new helmets or just redone helmets? There is something different every week it seems and we need to get in on it. Just want to understand how it works. Thanks.

UH can keep those uniforms.....CK, your team looks like tt, IMO. We tried honoring army and I didn't like that either.

No, it's red with a subtle Halloween orange tint.

I like our white helmets just fine. If we want to trick it out and go with something whacky for one game a year, I wouldn't be opposed to chrome helmets with a red pony on them

I don't really understand why this hasn't happened. Most everyone I've talked to and most everyone on PFs love the blue unis. Is this JJ's decision, or Hart's?

I wouldn't mind that either. I just wish we'd stick with the blue jerseys.

I was glad to see us back in RED. Keep the blues in the closet.
Red for sure....but to be honest, the uniforms are the least of our worries. I guess it is just another thing to whine about for fans. Seriously, red or blue uni.....just win baby.

I am giving the finger to uni talk. :evil: Geez

They need to be pushing to play a full four quarters every game before they worry about their damn helmets.
SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.
