Absolutely loved them. I didn't know they were doing that and realized on first series.

Those helmets helped remind me of a time when football was the roughest thing on campus. Yes I would like to see the Tigahs play out the season with those helmets.

Cannon era troll helmets, good with using them once a year.


I actually thought they were functional (player number) as well as a tribute.

I don't like the grey facemasks. They don't match anything else on the uniform.

Why? That's what every face mask looked like for 40 years.

No. I like our present day helmets.

Grey face masks with the traditional LSU helmet logo would be perfect. I would be ok with logo on one side, and numbers on the other.

I hate to blow my own horn but I called it a week ago. I liked it. I hope they do the 70’s logo one day.

Why exactly? Do you think they look better than colored ones?

I don't like grey face masks except for school's whose colors include grey. Ohio State, for example.

I hate them on Alabama's and USC's helmets. I hate them on the Arizona Cardinals helmets.

I hate them everywere they are not supposed to be.

Leave them off the LSU football helmet, please.

We're better than that.

The LSU helmet with the circle Tiger head is one of the most iconic helmets in all of sports.

LSU unis are routinely voted one of the best in college football. LSU has a national identity based on its traditional look.

The infatuation with such a generic style is a head scratcher.
But then again, some fans seem to like any deviation at all and get excited for the wrong gold, a bad logo, no purple jerseys, etc...

I like alternate uniforms here and there but I don't want to be like Oregon about it. Once a year some change is nice

As I said last night... They need to be permanent moving forward.

Love that look. They should also at some point use the Bert Jones era helmet logo.

Would like those pant stripes and REALLY like the more muted gold. With today's high definition televisions and greater color fidelity, there is no need for the nearly highlighter yellow in place of gold any longer.

I’m in for the throw-back helmets as long as we dont ruin them with the ugly purple shirts.

Those helmets and our white shirts are awesome.

Count me in - I was there '56-'59 and I loved every aspect of their uniforms then.
