GOLD HELMETS

Post by msubobcat » Wed Sep 22, 2021 2:36 pm

Any word if we still have gold helmets? Have not worn in games yet and pictures I have seen of practice they are in white helmets.

I'd like to see them too. I'd also like to see a grey set of uniforms- kinda like our basketball uniforms.

Since when has gray become one of our school colors? The last time we wore gray were the ugliest uniforms I've seen us in.

There's an issue with the helmet factory, the gold's are sent in for refurbishing. But long delays at the factory just like every other industry. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see the gold helmets until the very end of the year.

The helmet situation is bad. Riddell can't get anything and high schools are scrambling to get enough for their teams. I hadn't thought about this for MSU. Under Armour has been struggling bad with supply for over a year now--I'd imagine that's even impacting how many different uniform sets we're seeing.

I like the uniforms we have so any delay in receiving new sets doesn't bother me.

As long as they aren't dark pink and faded black they're fine. Maybe no Halloween colors either .

Oh those were hideous. I don't even think there's a griz fan out there that liked those.

The white helmets are ok, but I miss the traditional gold helmet/blue jersey combination. Maybe the gold helmets will be available for the trip to Missoula.

No, the Cats should wear the white helmets in the brawl, just like they have done for the past four victories. White helmets with the M decal for the past three victories.

The gold helmets are still being refurbished...which seems odd. Had over a year to knock that out.

What is 'helmet refurbishing"?

I assume it has nothing to do with painting so if we really wanted different colored helmets we could just have a set of existing ones painted, right?

Does anyone know what our current lineup of helmets is (examples of each)?

I personally like the white helmets with the Cat logo outline. Haven’t seen that for a few years. It’s been either the M, the camo Cat logo or Cat script.
I like them all, but it’s been nice to see the straight Cat logo for the first time in awhile.

They probably had helmets they needed to replace and it's HARD to get helmets right now. A lot of the middle schools in Billings have kids with helmets from surrounding high schools, and even some colleges that had a few extras. And those are just plain white helmets for the most part.

Same here.

Cat > Cats > M > Camo

I dig the white helmets, no matter the decal. Of those, my all time favorite was the American flag coloring of the cat head.

I would be we see the gold helmets and pants for Homecoming.


griz fans; keeping it classy and gracious in winning since ... well, never.
