Cue the snarky “we aren’t Oregon” comments.

Yeah, and I get that but at least our helmets are all basically the same helmet just in a different official school color (well black isn't official but it's been unofficial a long time).

If we start having a different helmet a week with a different logo, then we can start complaining about being too Oregon.

Not a fan, especially with the all white uniform. If we're gonna wear them it should be with orange pants.

I think they're trying to minimize the orange elsewhere because the orange is SLIGHTLY off between the jerseys and the helmets. The same issue happened last week With Ole miss and it was noticable. The Helmet is just clearly darker than the jersey

I wonder if part of it is the whole discussion of how an orange helmet looks under the lights, and this is a night game; meaning when paired with the orange pants for a night game it may look like they aren't the same shade of orange. Which I get but then again Clemson does it and doesn't seem to care too much.

I'm hoping the Vandy game is a day game and we see these with the orange pants.

Vandy is 6:30 local time kickoff so not gonna happen there. lol

I don’t understand the aversion to orange pants on the road while loving them at home. All orange or all white is too much or too little.

One Away game was stormtroopers, one away game was smokey gray and the other Away game had orange pants....unless you're talking about fans. Personally I prefer the Stormtroopers and I prefer the white helmet but this helmet looks good.

Clemson has the same problem; the orange on their helmet doesn't match their jersey. Though I think because their shade of orange is darker they have the opposite problem as us; the contrast looks worse during the day and better at night.

I'm normally a fan of alternate unis, but I hate this lol

Glad I'm in the minority though. Hope the players enjoy

Color in different mediums is a lot harder than people realize.

Its honestly probably an issue with the different materials that causes the mismatch even though they're the exact same pigments.
