Lol'd at the Neb. helmet.  The artist had to be making a joke.  An JEEBUS I did not like ANY of the Chiefs combos.

Nebraska fans are probably loving that.  They love those idiotic corncob hats.

I think the corn kernel pattern Nubb helmet would be great to LOL at.  Thought the Texas helmets showing the horns kind of like the current Rams helmets was awesome--would get the Horns out of the 1960's.

I didn't think K-State was a Schutte shop.
I think Sproles wore a Schutt helmet.

I don't know if I should love you for showing me something so amazing, or hate you for showing me something that we'll never have.

Love it, but I am curious what it looks like on the field. That picture was obviously taken in the OOD.

As someone whose done a little work in the area of branding for the past 25+ years I'll chime in once more. :)

Branding is much more than a logo or uni. LHC Bill Snyder has created a brand that someone like Currie couldn't ever dream of creating. No offense to Currie, but he (nor any other AD) could never have created the kind of brand Snyder has. Steve Miller didn't do it and neither did Jon Wefald. It was LHC Bill Snyder. Not just because he created a logo that looks cool on a helmet but because he changed the atmosphere and attitude of K-State football.

From a graphic design perspective, while a helmet like this one gets everyone all worked up and excited, it would look terrible on TV. Just horrible. The Powercat would be lost. White with a purple Powercat might be cool or even purple with silver or white Powercat . But this one won't fly.

I'm not against change but I'd hate to see us get all goofy like some schools have done. Who knows, we could all be surprised next fall! :)

I love the tucks who constantly talk about how good and nationally recognized our brand is. Hint: it isn't. People all over the country have asked me WTF that weird Thundercat thing is and who the hell it represents.

We need to get the mirrored helmets like Oregon had in their bowl game with a flat black or flat purple powercat on the side.  Done and done.
