No, but I think those were new. Even if they weren't "new helmets", I guarantee you the modification of existing helmets wasn't free! Do you think the coaching staff and players put on decal stickers in the exact same location of every helmet in their spare time? If they were modified, it was contracted out, and that's not free.

I wondered about that. So is our admin REALLY that stupid that we spent money on helmets we couldn't wear? Or did we think there was a loophole. Those helmets aren't cheap! That money could have gone towards all the campus improvements.
do you really think we buy new helmets for every game...all we did was change the stickers/decals... those are cheap... Geez wake up and think out of the box for once. We probably did buy the powder blues... but the 38 was just stickers.
Rebs wearing the #38...

I'm done ranting, but fiscal responsibility is one of my soap boxes. Hotty Toddy!
It was a marketing plan. Team did warm-ups in traditional navy helmets. When they return to field for game they wore the powder blues. Plan is to auction off navy/38 and powder blues later. Yall need to calm down and give our administration a little credit. This isn't the Pete Boone regime.proud2breb wrote:No, but I think those were new.

Agreed! And I'd buy one of the #38 helmets signed by the entire starting defense!

Go to the OLE MISS football page and read an article that talks about how the powder blues came to be used and how it was accomplished..

Nope, don't like the powder blues at all. See how Bo played in one? Would have done MUCH better if we had used the navy blue helmets.

Compare how he played in the powder blue against how he played in the navy blue.

Yep, the same navy blue that he wore in the next NINE quarters to play as he did. He did not play worth a flip in the powder blues for three quarters.proud2breb wrote:Remind me....

Do we want the curse of the powder blues to continue?
Seriously, if that is the way we play when honoring Chucky Mullins, the color of the helmets won't matter a hill of beans.
Much is being made about bulletin board material. All that maters is whether we play good enough to win.
