Have to say the new helmet sucks. They can be saved, however, by moving the bolt to its PROPER POSITION on the sides. Bare white sides seriously reminds me of a cheap middle school helmet. They broke what didn't need to be fixed. I'm fine with the white, but you have to keep your logos.

I thought they looked sweet! Elite programs create trends... They don't follow them.. I saw the helmets at the scrimmage, they are far from cheap.. Great opening win!!

You know the Colts used have their logos on the back of their helmet, but no longer do. I wonder why? You're so called trend died years ago. Even the all white pants. They looked like they were out in a practice uniform. The goal of any uniform is to look professional. If I know nothing about the Storm and I see that helmet, I'm asking myself what the heck.

I didn't mind them, but definitely would like to see a logo on the helmet. I like new things and innovation though, so keep it up Storm. I think it'd be great to see a different uni combo every game.

Whatever.. It's Todd's money and he can spend it however he wants.. that's three road uniforms in three years.. I'm personally all about contrast with a uniform. Pants and jerseys should not be the same color.. but that's just me. We could have gone Arizona with plain helmets, numbers and names on otherwise unadorned jerseys. So.. really you can either accept the change or reminisce about the way things used to be. Todd is very conscience about not allowing his product to become stale.

I'll probably choose to reminisce then. The 07-09 unis were the best in my opinion. The new helmet may grow on me, but I'll never be convinced that having a logo on the back of your helmet is better than on the sides. I just think there's a reason you hardly see anyone doing it. I think Tryon is trying too hard to be different just to different. Usually the back is used for small decals, such as the American flag decal or tribute decals (I think they may have wore one last year when Ledarius Anthony got in his car accident). You can't really do that anymore because it's going to get very cluttered. I'm not a fan of the Chicago Bears or Green Bay Packers, but I respect those organizations for sticking to tradition and not trying to fix what isn't broke. I guess my biggest problem with it all is that at times I just didn't feel like I was watching the Storm. As if a little of their identity was lost.

I felt that way when they dumped the navy and red color scheme last year... So more change, like I said, whatever, it's not like he has to ask us.

I'm sure the home uni's will have more color.

in the much clearer images from lioncubs link (+1 karma) I like 'em
If they keep the red helmets at home with just the lightning bolts on the side.. that would be sweet... but I'm thinking prolly not.

Put the bolt on the side (even just one side like the Steelers) and I'm sold. I'm just not crazy about having the logo on the back of the helmet.
