Green Helmets in 2011?

Could USF actually have green helmets in 2011? (Picture: www.thebullspen.com)
Talk started when Bill McGillis, AD at USF, asked fans for uniforms design ideas, but nothing else was talked about that afterwards. A few months after that, quarterback B.J. Daniels opened a twitter account and began chatting with fans and enjoying the fun world of social media. But after one infamous day, Daniels shut down his account, to the surprise of many fans. Daniels posted several pictures on his account of reportedly new helmets, one showing a green helmet, a new look gold helmet, and a strange camo-style helmet. Now, his account was disabled, but the talk and rumors about a possible redesign on USF helmets and uniforms continued across the internet.

Well, according to members on the Bullspen, a large USF forum, Holtz has finally made all the speculation and talk into reality, the green helmets are real. Holtz, speaking at a women's football clinic today, he announced that the green helmets will be used this season. Now, remember, before everyone begins blasting me or stating it is not officially official (awesome), it is not. This is simply talk from people who were at the clinic today and heard from Holtz. There has been nothing officially released from USF or any of the local media so just because we have the image of the helmets and the talk about them continues, they may not be real to this point and this is nothing official, just continuing the talk about them.

So we will continue to wait until something breaks from GA, Adkins or USF, but for now it is official by word of mouth and we are left with the image of what could be.

  1. McGillis' request for fan input came in Feb., the "Daniels leak" came well after.

  2. I think this green would have been better than the one we got

  3. I tend to agree. The gold stripe down the middle is also a nice touch, the actual one is missing that. Oh well, probably will wear it once or twice all season. Players seem to like the white helmet the most.
