Honestly, I didn't like them at first but they grew on me as the game wore on. I really like the Maroon stripe with "Ski-u-Mah" lettering. I like the "Brick by Brick on the back as well.

Still like the matte Maroon best.

Bring them out for two home games a year. I see us wearing them in the Ohio St. game.
 


More yellow than gold, but I loved them!
 


I didn't like them when they were first announced but they grew on me watching the game today. I still like the Maroon matte helmets the best but am fine with the Gold helmets a few times a year.
 




Ive been waiting for these for years...and they looked better than I hoped!!!
 

Solid still think the maroon is better and should be the main helmet but use the gold for a game or two a year.
 


I'll go against the grain, did not like them, at least on TV. Prefer the maroon much more.
 



I didn't like them when they posted the photos earlier in the year, but today in person at the stadium they were great.
 

Too similar to North Dakota State and the Green Bay Packers for me.

I still like the all white - including helmets - road uniforms for something different. Go ahead and tar and feather me now.
 

We won with them. Wear them again at Homecoming vs. Purdon't.
 




I thought they looked great in the photos and was excited to see them.....but didn't care for them with today's uniforms. Looked WAY too busy. These helmets would look fantastic on the road with the white jerseys and maroon pants.
 


I don't like them as much as our maroon helmets, but I do like them.
 

Colonel Mustard in the conservatory.

With the 100-yard kick-off return.

I read the thread headline and saw "if." I thought they were wearing them and there wasn't a question. Anyway, they looked fine.

I'm over 60, so I like the classic helmet better, but it's not a big issue one way or the other with me.

I doubt this will happen, but just for fun, I'd like to see what an all-gold combo would look like- gold helmet, jersey and pants- or maybe gold helmet and jersey and maroon pants. I don't like the white jerseys - should always be gold or maroon.

I think that all gold would have looked much better. The gold helmets with the maroon jerseys didn't look that great imo.

Did they use that combination when Wacker coached? Seems to me they did, but I could easily be wrong.

Edit: I just looked it up and I was wrong. White jerseys with gold helmet and gold pants.

But a whole different gold. Didn't like the helmet as much as I thought I would. Way too yellow for a helmet and pants.

I suppose you'd complain if your lemon phosphate wasn't yellow enough. :)
