who thinks these helmets are sweet?
They are sweet but no thanks. I'd rather cu go back to winning football games.
I'm in the minority, but I thought the black helmets with the silver logo that Nike made them wear for one game, back in 96, I think, against Baylor, were just awesome!
Totally agree ... "awesome" is the right word. Once a year maybe, or once every other year at least.I'm in the minority, but I thought the black helmets with the silver logo that Nike made them wear for one game, back in 96, I think, against Baylor, were just awesome!

start when CU joined the Big 8 (or was it 7 then?) and go from there. for each game, have the alumni who wore those unis honored at half. they could be honored at the parade on pearl street as well the friday before the game. its another way to keep the alum involved.
just an idea.
actually it was the Big 6 if memory serves me correct. CU made it the Big 7. and not totally screwed in my history ISU made it the Big 8. I may have to go back and re-read the history of the Big 8 as I really could have flunked out here....:thumbsup:
oh I agree... getting the alums involved is the key to keep the history and tradition going.... and it does provide positive rep for recruiting too imho....
now that you mention it, i know CU was part of the Big 7. i have no idea who made it the Big 8. you are probably right though.
Big 6 from 1928 to when CU joined in 1948 making it the Big 7. It wasnt ISU (they were an original Big 6 member), but okie lite joined in 1958 maiking it the Big 8 (unofficially), until 1964 when the name was approved.
Maybe Michigan should drop their yellow stripes and put a big M on the side of their helmets, perhaps its time Penn St puts a lion on theirs, maybe Notre Dame should draw a guy wearing a dress on theirs.
if we ever do a throwback game...i like these:
I metioned this before, and bears repeating: the horns on the silver helment point down, like a Ram. The horns of a Buffalo point up. Ergo, I have no desire to ever see the Colorado Buffaloes wear a Ram helmet. :sad2:
Agreed.
Hey Ruff, what does the horns up version look like? I'd like to see that one in color.
the helmet project doesn't have a picture of the one in the orginal photo on this thread...but..it does have a side note about it...

Cool link.
This is a pesky photoshop question, Ruff. I know you have mad skills in that department. If you have any hours to kill, might you be so kind to improvise a couple of those Orange Bowl versions?
One gold w/ black horns,
One black w/ gold horns.
