As we have used both Schutt and Riddell over the years, there have been both slight variances in hue, as well as advances in helmet manufacturing that have altered the appearance of the helmet.


Yes, precisely. The base hue has remained constant, but the technological advances in helmet design coupled with dramatic changes in television cameras and set resolution have altered their appearance slighty.

Deitzel changed uniforms and helmet colors. Old ones were very dull. Old gold helmets had the single purple stripe. The three stripes (white in middle and a purple on each side of white) was very new and "hot" then. I like the current brighter uniforms much better than the previous "old gold" uniforms and helmets. Current home uniforms and helmets look great. I like to occasionally see the yellow jerseys with white helmets. I do not like the purple jerseys with the gold pants. Maybe if the purple jerseys were a lighter shade of purple with white helmets (when LSU must wear dark jerseys as the visitor) would look better.
