due to the vent holes in the helmet being next to the top part of the "L"...

eg, this pic:



Did anyone else notice this?

ETA: On other helmets, there is a huge vent next to the bottom part of the "L"

No, but its one more reason to like the old riddell (sp) helments more.
I dont like the new ones much.

Personally, I think Miles is lobbying for the job at Colorado State, since he knows he's about to be fired.

Have you worn the new helmets? Cause, I wore the old ones and the new ones, the new ones are way more comfortable, who really gives a shite what they look like?

GB, stare at Hitt's and Randle's helmets, and tell me that doesn't look like CSU...

No, but if that's the case does it look like Dworaczyk's helmet has an upside down T on it?

ETA: Or maybe an upside down Y...

yes, it does...not to be nitpicky, but they need to ask the helmet maker to accommodate a design that jives with the logo on the helmet...I can't imagine that being a huge deal.

Oh no, you didn't.

I agree with you but surely didn't notice before you pointed it out.

Wait...are you suggesting that they ask the helmet manufacturer to take into account the individual team logo before designing vent holes on the helmets?

Yes, if they want LSU to continue buying helmets from them, assuming someone in the LSU AD thinks the vent hole look silly.

Maybe some equipment manager person with LSU added the logo too high...not sure...

but that logo is an important identity for our program...it should look good on the helmets.
