We should do silver or grey wolf fur helmets with a hint of dark blue in them. Kind of like the comic book superman has a hint of blue in his hair.

And do actual fur....not painted on or anything, but the real stuff.

While fashionable. The fur thing would be way to expensive. Plus you have people allergic to dogs.

Nice thinking though.

Why not? It still wouldn't be as cheesy as a top 5 football program playing on smurf turf.

Chris Petersen is totally hating you right now.

I actually really dig that helmet. Maybe not for 12 games, but still.

with actual horse manes on their helmets. I can see it now....the Lousy State fans standing up, holding hands and singing in unison.." she ran calling wiiiiild fire....."

I think it's unique in a good way and makes sense on a couple of levels -- both the turtle shell and the football helmet serve protective purposes for their owners.

But I'll admit maybe it's just my inner Richard Attenborough talking. :confused:

I don't like 'em

[backsthepack]

Would dig it only if every scale was a sticker like Ohio State.

I still think we should have live vicious wolves at every Nevada game. Cage them up right behind the opposing teams bench. Let them go wild at half time.

There's something ironic that both Phil Knight and Kevin Plank's two alma maters have two of the worst sets of uniforms. I don't like any of these Maryland combinations, some of Oregon's are okay, but for the most part awful.

Get rid of that stripe and you've got something going.
