lol these guys know how to start a riot, twitter exploded

They wont use a black helmet any time soon. I do believe they will use a black top very soon(next year).

"We are not wearing black helmets. We were cleaning the eq room. We are NOT wearing black helmets. I promise." (From the equip room twitter)

 

The helmets were apparently created by some students a few years ago "for fun."

Smells like a prank to me. Wrong style of helmet, staged walk, redundant release on the gloves, and the Washington game should not be viewed as particularly special for this team. Now for our Camp Randal debut....T.O. is calling for our fans to wear black to stand out and wiscy's uniforms are virtually identical to ours. I think most fans would love to see something a bit different. Maybe not every week like Oregon but once in awhile.

I can't see the picture.....?

It's what the defense is going to start using for practice. Instead of "Blackshirts", they'll be the "Blackheads".

I had to copy and paste the link into a new browser window to see it.

god that what be awful to be named after a kind of zit!

 

and i think it would be cool if for the wisc game they brought back some sort of throwback style like what they wore for the 300th sell out game

I follow the NU Equipment office on Twitter. They just posted this pic of the gloves we've all been waiting for, but notice anything in the background?

(not you personally OP, just whoever is responsible for the black helmet)

Could just a be a custom made helmet.

UW is wearing white and black jerseys tomorrow FYI.

I personally think the helmet looks cool and i generally respond negatively to all the b******* talk and whatnot (although i do think it would be a good idea for visiting fans at wisconsin). I don't see what harm would come from having an alternate uniform or two that we use once or twice a season. It wouldn't mean we'd have to be like Oregon or anything

Great, this is all we needed.

 

A good ol' fashioned JFK Helmet Conspiracy. There was the Black helmet on the grassy knoll, and the regular helmet was in the book depository.

Reminds me of the black helmets Stanford is gonna bust out against Notre Dame later this season.

The reason I'd be all for a black helmet, yellow helmet, neon green helmet, etc. being worn vs. Wiscy is that the two team's colors are so close, helmets are the same two colors, and Taylor Martinez has a hard enough time throwing to the right team, but if they look too similar God knows where he'll be throwing the ball.
