Not a fan of these hand-painted or whatever helmets that some teams have used. Gaudy.

Great for display on a shelf, not on the field.

Per the USNA:
"The Navy uniform is based on the original six frigates of the U.S. Navy, which includes the still-active USS Constitution. The uniform includes a blue jersey with details that reference the historic ships, and a custom-painted copper-colored helmet.
“The USS Constitution and the five other frigates of the original U.S. Navy were each copper-clad before launching,” the school said in a release. “When coppered in the summer of 1797, Constitution’s lower hull required 12,000 feet of sheet copper and thousands of copper nails.”
The copper helmet has a hand-painted image of the frigate on one side and its logo on the other. Around the helmet is an image of a rope with 63 knots on both the front and back — the sum of which nods to this year’s Army-Navy game being the 126th edition, and to Navy’s 63 wins in the series (West Point has won 55 games, with seven ties)."

The Chicago Blackhawks unveiled their black alternates, re-launching a classic jersey that captured the hearts of the entire fanbase. Black top and bottom.

Had no idea their field was named after Jim Wacker. Very cool and of course deserved - he won 2 D2 championships there before coming to TCU.

Was just coming to this thread to ask if anyone knew why Fresno is in green? Admittedly, I'm old but with that knowledge in mind, it drives me crazy when teams wear colors that are not their official ones.

I know when they wear their usual colors they always have the big V somewhere on their helmet or uni to symbolize the Valley, and it is/was always in green.
But I’m not sure why they’ve done it this big this time.

In Californian, a man can be a woman if they feel like it and the color red can be the color green.

They just said it’s their “Valley” uniform. What I thought was metallic green is actually a pattern of fruits and vegetables inside the green numbers signifying all the fruits and vegetables grown there. Kinda cool.

I don't remember Oregon's 2011 BCS championship game against Oregon.
