Just as a FWIW, tinted eye-shields have been against the rules for at least two years now...

I thought they got banned i the 90's.

 

[Splittine]

Don't remember where I read it but supposedly a fan designed helmet and not being used by UF. Not sure the truth to that.

 

[ElephantStomp]

That's a sweet helmet even without the tinted shield.

 

[planomateo]

Fitting, they've had a lot of ugly helmets over the years.

This one is fugly.

Hope so.

The block letter F was certainly old-school. This makes me think of arena ball.

Yeah, no.

yeah, it is...

 

[ElephantStomp]

It would be even better if it was all black

Ha Ha, the arena ball comment was right on. Looks like the Georgia Force helmets.

Maybe Richt will do another blackout...that really worked well...

Saw where a new trend is a foam shell that covers the helmet to reduce impact...maybe the white helmet fanatics can bring up a white foam cover...ha...not

The first thing that popped in my head was the Mortal Kombat commentator....."Sub Zero, wins"!

 

[Bamabacker]

looks more like a Lacrosse helmet... which is appropriate for Florida football.
