do a search because I already did this....Western was the first school to wear the chrome in a fbs game.
If you aren't buying...you have google. do the research yourself...
I still have 4 days of fishing left before I care enough to re-prove it

Actually, I just noticed he posted in another thread, thusly concluding he had returned from his fishing trip. I then realized he had never "re-proved" his claim, I'm just anxiously awaiting this proof to the claim he so obstinately defended.
Thanks for your concern friend.

Well I did a search and couldn't come up with anything definitive.
But as I suspected, it appears Western was not first, but continue to spread misinformation.
Western was the first to wear them in a regular FBS game...
I see I left off the regular in the quoted part...which is not unusual for me to leave a word out. Key word like that can change the meaning. But in my rush I left it out
edit: but after reading the whole thread...that was pointed out to be wrong also.

Oregon was the first to use chrome helmets during the 2011 season at the 2012 Rose Bowl. wkcc introduced the chrome helmet two seasons later in 2013.
Rutgers was the first to unveil a chrome helmet in the regular season in 2012.

For visual reference here is the chrome dome Oregon wore at the 2012 Rose Bowl 20 months before wkcc's chrome lid.

RE: WKU football new uniforms
And lastly here is wkcc in their 2012 season opener against Let's Go Peay...wearing their traditional rag heads but lacking chrominess.
Therefore this myth has been busted.

RE: WKU football new uniforms
I can see how a Western fan might bristle at the notion that they were late to the chrome dome party, so to speak, but they certainly didn't start it either.
I think it's funnier that the writer of the piece suggests it's a fad that should end.
I don't particularly care for any of the chrome helmets, but the players seem to, they're the ones wearing them, they're the ones who might factor uniforms into their recruitment.

I've always thought those were better unis anyhow, the all white unis from that set were some of the best G5 uniforms in recent years IMO.

I loved last years uniforms. Not so sure about this years. But the classic look was pretty good just looks like a high school uniform.
