Plus...

doesn’t our current helmet seem to win every time they do one of those “Best Looking Helmet” polls?

Weinke looks like a tightend in that picture.

i hate the AFL/Atlanta Falcons Pro Combat stuff

but if we must have a different uniform to get Nike money and maybe get some kids interested, i wouldnt hate this helmet. i do, however, hate the one up top with the Seminole head.

You notice the last one looks like BCs helmet?

You should see the one the guy came up with for UGA.

Looks like it came right off the shelf at Wal Mart.

To me the worst ones are LSU's

But seriously, would FSU actually have to dress in these?

The LSU one looks like an eagle head.

It doesn’t even resemble a tiger,

how about the Ole Miss "Rebel"?

yes, Ole Miss, going to fight in Bryant-Denny is a trap. because it is the newly functional Death Star.

I love our traditional home/away uni's.

I also like the garnet pants too that we would wear vs. UF and/or bowl games.
The all black, and all white look is pretty sharp too.
But all these helmets suck, and are totally uncreative. All he did was take the 4-5 logos each school has and put it on the side of a helmet with a different color combo. It looks like the work of a lazy 5th grader, not a professional uniform designer for NIKE.

I like the Garnet on Garnet also. Not the Nike Pro Garnet on Garnet with the black helmets but the regular Garnet on Garnet.

i dont think i disagree with anything in here

with a few exceptions to the laziness rule (LSU, Ole Miss)

Actually, I'd be interested to mock up this look with the alternate spear design

There is a more modern design that is used on the buses and elsewhere. It is pretty slick. Some abstract flame design more incorporated that wraps the leg and sleeves, but is just a change in texture/color.

Everybody relax, I'm here.

I guarantee these are fake and have nothing to do with Nike

There was a set of NFL unis that caused a stir a while back and all the stuff looked just like this

yep.

they even put up the schools that aren’t even sponsored by Nike like Michigan and Auburn.

by andyprocombat on Feb 14, 2012 12:45 PM EST up reply actions  

Good catch.

Auburn has 16 Nike concepts, yet AU is sponsored by UA. Sounds about right….

by najabaas on Feb 14, 2012 3:13 PM EST up reply actions  

No need to guarantee

The guy straight up says they’re his concepts in the image. It’s just a guy who likes to design uniforms for fun. No big deal.

Honestly I can’t believe people are even considering the possibility of these being legit.

by geoffissiffoeg on Feb 14, 2012 1:13 PM EST up reply actions  

There are sooo many AU helmets

and one of the UK helmets has a basketball on them; I doubt these are very legit, though I kind of like the FSU ones.

by najabaas on Feb 14, 2012 11:07 AM EST reply actions  

Absolutely.

That would be the classy thing to do.

Whenever you see the new flashy Pro Combat Uni’s on a team, it feels like the school is a bunch of little kids that just got an allowance from Daddy.

Tim Tebow is poopie.

Dear God, please, no.

I’m not saying the concept doesn’t look good. It does, as does the other one posted by Jonathan Loesch above. However, the Seminoles already play in the best looking uniforms in all of football. I thought we were past this nonsense since Jimbo took over. While I am a bit of a biased traditionalist, my concern is not so much due to the fashion, and I usually am not superstitious, but I honestly wonder if the team isn’t jinxed when trying to follow these ridiculous trends. When I hear mention of these “special” uniforms, I am immediately reminded of the Seminoles losing two out of three “blackout” games, both to Boston College, and winning only against Duke. I am reminded of losing the only “whiteout” game I am aware of to South Florida. I remember playing a game that was a little too close for comfort against the mighty Maryland Terrapins in 2009 in probably the most hideous uniform I have ever seen, and I also remember all the jokes I heard, living in SEC country, about the black “glitter helmets.” It’s probably nothing superstitious, and I’m sure someone on here will rag me about being to concerned about the uniform (sorry, it’s not so much the uniform, it’s that I don’t like LOSSES, and if something appears to be hindering…..well….), but I wonder if the players get distracted by the uniforms. Bobby used to say the players liked changing things up. Sorry, but I think the players are more distracted by the uniform, or simply get lazy or too confident or something and think the uniform will give them some sort of edge. Uniforms don’t win football games, but I’m not so sure they don’t lose them. They definitely don’t have any “psych-out” ability, as what is marketed with “blackout” and “whiteout” games and the like. Florida State is a real football program, not a gimmick program. Florida State is not Boise State, Oregon, or Maryland. I hope the program maintains the rediscovered pride that they’ve displayed in Fisher’s first two years, and not sell-out to big corporate money. If Nike wants to make a Pro-Combat Uniform for the Seminoles, they should make it with the new materials, but make it look like the Florida State uniform. Put a patch on it saying what it is, similar to a bowl patch.

Back-to-back state champions - I'll take it.

I think the UNC one with the giant foot on the side of the helmet is the funniest

I'm all for going to alternate unis.

But like I said above, if we do I’d rather it not be some crazy Pro Combat design. I will accept any of the following:
Gold, Black and possibly white helmets: I, for one thought the black helmets were the only good thing about our Pro Combat unis, and I think a white version could look pretty good also. Oh, and all versions will have the spears and tomahawks. No other logos.
Garnet, White and Black jerseys. (Just like the ones we see all the time.)
Ganret, Gold, White and Black pants.
