The blue appears to be the true Midnight blue we haven't seen in 15 years!!! The blue does appear darker or maybe it's just the lighting. The girl is distracting so who knows! ;-)

I like the look!!!!

Go Rockets!

Hard to tell... but there seems to be a white speckle mixed in the midnight blue. Thus giving this a slight depth with the Rocket logo on top. Sort of Vincent van Gogh "Starry Night" effect.

I hope Under Armour consulted with our Professor Rupali with Department of Astronomy to ensure star chart accuracy. Poorly identified astronomical objects... how embarrassing that would be.

Use this helmet...and just one other helmet for alternate unis. I really like the white helmet with the midnight blue face mask and Rocket logo on both sides. I hope they never use those mustard yellow helmets again.

The oversized Rocket logo is badass, plain and simple. Surprised they don't use it more.

Off season stuff. I don't care what they look like as long as they're blue or gold. I care what they sound like when they knock down opponents. I saw Iamn2daRockets and Aaron Bivens at Art on the Mall and now I'm stoked to see (and hear about) real football!

Dave:

It's always good to see you outside of a UT sports event or at a UT sports event! It's all good.

You are a true UT fan that's for sure!

Go Rockets!

Ned

p.s.: I tend to like the new helmets as stated earlier. The sparkle is kewl and works on the dark background. The std size Rocket or over-sized rocket both look awesome. I also like the white and Midnight blue helmets. I do not care for the mustard helmets!!!!

I understand that we will probably never get away from the crazy uniforms, but could we at least stick with one helmet that has our real logo on it?

The mask is no longer gold. It's blue.

I tend to feel the same way. Our 'Toledo' athletic logo is good. Sometimes changing things just for the sake of changing things isn't beneficial.

As far as the 2015 helmet, I give it an "OK." I like the shell. I prefer the midnight blue to a navy blue. I think a Rocket Gold facemask makes it look more "sporty," but that's just my taste.

Just win baby.

I always thought this was the best looking helmet in College Football. Period!

Thats a photo of a mini helmet. Gold masks would have looked dumb on our 2010-2013 jerseys. The new ones that dont have white... Might be okay. As far as i know there are no promises the helmets keep a blue mask all year. Last year the white helmets featured blue and white masks.
