68Hoosier Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I have a question about our helmets. It has bothered me all year, but they seem cheap. Every game the IU lettering on one or more of the players is peeling off. I don't notice this on other teams. Why is this and should they be painted on? Never noticed this in years past.

Almost seems like a curing agent issue or a problem in the application process. Clearly idk but whatever it is they should look to remedy it in the off-season and I'd imagine they will. Good news is that it doesn't affect the play on the field!! 68Hoosier 1 Quote

jermhoosierfan Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I liked the chrome candy striped helmets from about 12 to 13 years ago, but this helmet is one I have always liked. OliviaPope40, sirhoosierlot, TrueHoosier62 and 1 other 3 1 Quote

Hardwood83 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I wouldn't mind an 'alternate' uniform game a year. Love the retro block I and the script Indiana and the Indiana flag symbol is cool too. Not a fan of the striped helmets. Also don't like constantly changing uniforms like Oregon does. Lebowski 1 Quote
MartintheMopMan Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I was browsing Getty for the Champs and came across this one. They have apply their own crappy Indiana decals? They really just come off a sticker sheet! Quote

Each position group have their own helmet type now to help with the types of contact that they're likely to take, so having to custom apply logos and striping makes some sense. Pagoda 1 Quote

I read a story years ago that Notre Dame would paint their helmets during before every game to make sure they shined or something like that. Does that still happen? Quote
