My favorite combo.  IMO, the only thing that would make this look even better is if they went with just wings instead of the full SOW on the helmets. 

I love those, but seeing all the #pooregon comments on social media are a bit annoying. Didn't Rice steal our thunder with a similar winged helmet?

We first introduced the winged helmet in 2016 (in the Heart of Dallas Bowl if I remember correctly).

Rice actually first did a version in 1990...

...which is even before Oregon first did it in 2012.

Rice did have a cooler version come out in 2013, which is still before we first did ours.

Is it me or is there just something off about the placement of the SOW? I love the logo...it just looks off on the helmet. 🤔

It's not just you.  It's too big to fit correctly on the helmet, but if it was smaller, it would look peony.  Thus, I like the oversized wing version.

And that King and Corbin and maybe a few others will wear a look of embarrassment.

I love the sow on the helmet. Smaller would be ok but this works fine too.  Contours and *holes on modern helmets make large logos challenging but I love the look overall.

The jokes on the modern helmets do make large logos funny😁
