it's different tho
When you admit that you're all jizzed up simply because it's different, that's a good start. First helmet sticker change in 31 years, a true fapfest for dork city fans.
Then you can also admit that the players would have been 1000x more excited if that rough ridin badass Sailor Willie was on that helmet.
Then think of that glorious and highly discernible clearly indicative of K-State Helmet sporting badass Sailor Willie sitting on SVP's desk. Instead we got an nondescript 'Cats helmet that only K-State fans recognize and 25 other fan bases had to do a double take thinking it might be them, with about 80% texting a friend telling them that SVP had their teams helmet on his desk.
Missed opportunity . . .
