RE: Georgia Southern to wear white helmets
why are you guys messing with your helmets, even for one game? It looks like something a little league Pee Wee team would wear. You guys have one of the most iconic traditional uniforms in the FBS, the traditional black helmets look great, quit screwing around with something that works so well.

Don't remember that. It's not listed in the helmet project either.

One day, you think you have a cool helmet.

And then, you think an alternate would be cool...

And then you are like... wait, not permanent. Where is the GSU?

No. Anthracite isn't even a school color. I mean the blue one...

Not ALL blue are you crazy? The white lettered GSU on blue one.

Ugh... close enough. Wait. No don't go and...

well it could be worse.

It will be a one and done for us.

I think that GAST's identity might be change?

At least to me, it seems your program is searching.

You find one you WIN with, and that might stick. I hope for your sake it ins't with that Ghostbusters logo on the helmet, and for ours.. it isn't with GSU on the side.

I think we are done. All the one's Stan decribed (and tahtw as not ALL of them) were under Levick. I think we are staying with Panther Heard on white helmets.

EVERY THREAD DOESN'T HAVE TO EVOLVE INTO A DISCUSSION ABOUT GA STATE! 01-lauramac2

GAH! Yall do this in every thread. Cmon guys, keep it on topic- about GS and related awsomeness.
In the entire history of the GAST program more helmet designs than wins...

If you're going to do the one game a year jersey change then at least go all out for that. Paste a giant flying eagle all over half the helmet and keep the number on the other side as in a similar fashion to Boise State.

Ha! I just got through (like 5 minutes ago!) singing their praises on the MMB about how much I admire them for sticking to their traditions and their brand and not joining this uniform fad, and I come over here and see this. Well if its a one-off its ok I guess and at least it follows the traditional simplistic look that the gumroots are known for.

It's a stinking helmet. It's not like the athletic department is kicking kittens and stealing lunch from kids. People need to take a chill pill. I think these would rock with our road uniforms.

It is a one game alternate helmet. The baseball logo has been around a long time and also represents a sport for Southern that has a lot of winning tradition.

"Why you freaking"?

Do you love our traditional uniforms that much? I mean, I know Southern fans do... but dang.

Out of curiosity(not trolling)... when did that GS logo start?

I went through all of Southern's yearbooks. The first time they use an interlocked GS is in 1974. Before the GS they used a block S when the school changed its name to Georgia Southern College. Before that, the school used a script T for the teacher's college.

The current iteration of the GS was first used in 1988.

I don't know. I think the GS is set back too far on the side; almost on the back. Maybe it's my eyes.

I said the same thing when I first saw them. I doubt all the helmets have been decal'd already though so it wouldn't surprise me if they adjusted that on the others.

I think GaSo should put GATA rather than GS on this helmet. I'm sure it might offend some people but who cares as it would be a great tribute to Erk and as much as I hate to admit it, it's a great slogan.04-cheers

Something about the USG system owning the rights and blah blah blah (Southern fans help me finish this sentence). But unfortunately I don't think we can use it based on copyright? Or we can't use it without paying USG...idk
