The helmet for Saturday?

Call me crazy, but I like it. Especially with the Herky on the back of the helmet.
 
top right appears to be about what we have and its labeled gold.

I don't care what wikipedia says, or whatever color classification someone may cite, I've seen gold in real life and it does not look like what we use.

The previously posted explanation about "sports coloring" where it's called gold but it's really yellow is the truth. We call it gold but it's yellow.

Hey, I like the color combination. It looks good, and not just on us. Just look at Columbus Crew. I don't even like or dislike them but their color scheme really works. It's underused, too, so it helps your team stand out.

Hey Bravehawk, in an effort to help you from ever looking "dumb or drunk", any GOOD hawk fan knows our colors are Black & OLD GOLD. Not to call you out. However, if you're using the Pantone color matching system, our official licensed color is PMS #116 which, if you ask any person with normal vision, is yellow. You have a great day and I hope this helps you out. I'll just keep looking dumb and enjoy life. My best to you fellow Hawkeye!!! My best to you. :)
BLACK & YELLOW BLACK & YELLOW BLACK & YELLOW!!!!!!;););)o_Oo_Oo_O
Yeah, I've seen where we claim our official color is old gold. But if that's the case, why don't we use it? I just wish we would be consistent and call it what it is.
 
Check Wikipedia for the colors. While it may look like yellow to the normal eye, the listed colors are black and GOLD (officially Old gold but nobody knows what that is either)! Sorry all you yellow fans. Let's just say I prefer to have "gold out" days even if it appears to be yellow. Yellow is for those wimps we send to the pick visitor locker rooms.

Back to the regularly scheduled programming of bringing home victory #10 on Saturday
Well I knew what Old Gold was and I knew you were wrong when you said I was drunk or dumb. So are you drunk or dumb too? :p
 
What is the affinity for matte black? Everyone wanting to be the cool rebel in high school who had his t-bird spray painted?

I am far from the trend follower, but I think the contrast of shiny metallic gold on the dull matte black is a winner.
 
Oh my god.... The color argument is a really sad. I wish I could hide this thread from other fan bases
 
Matte black looks cool. That's my affinity with it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The fact that so many schools have used helmets like that says many other people think it looks cool, too.

Now hold on right there cowpoke. Your logo makes you look like a trend follower. Don't you sell yourself short sailor.
 
I'm not big on field painting, but what about a humongous flying herky at midfield? Hmm. Maybe put him in the endzones instead of the TigerHawk?

I'm torn. I think there's power in having one logo everywhere, but we have some good alternates like the flying Herky that are pretty sweet.

How about an inflatable one at midfield, the players can just run around it, or in to it like in Ames! Maybe tiger-stripe the endzones pink! Polka dots everywhere!
 
For clarity, is anyone actually claiming any of these are the real helmets for Saturday ? The OP obviously not , but the Oregon knock off?
