I like the big bird. The Ball State I could do without, just does nothing for me. As for the color, well, black IS the new white. This is why opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one !!!!!! I'm just the opposite. That large cardinal does nothing for me, but I like the Ball State on the side.
I guess Comet let the cat out of the bag, so I'll go ahead and admit it. Truth is the two of us sat down to make a decision on these helmets and this was our compromise.

I do not love the black helmets nor the uniforms but I won't lose sleep over it. I remember the days of simpler times and simpler uniforms.

Its all part of the arms race and its actually something we can compete with other schools. stickers are cheap and our designs are really good. I know you have seen the Buzz the helmets created over social media. It seems silly to us but recruits eat this stuff up

Somebody explain how black became our school color? Somebody explain whether black and white are actually colors? Fifty years ago in Art Appreciation class at BSU it was explained this way; White is the absence of color and black is all colors. That was before we landed on the moon, gasoline was 30 cents a gallon and you could only listen to music in stereo on vinyl records.

I think having "Ball state" on both sides would look pretty cool. When you have to spell out the name of your school, your telling the world nobody knows your logo, and that you are worthy of DI-FCS or DII. Keep using the logo only, maybe player numbers, but sell the brand.

I think think "Ball State" spelled on that particular helmet looks cool. Simple as that.

We could wear purple helmets that fart unicorn glitter. If it helps nab a recruit I am all for it.

When you have to spell out the name of your school, your telling the world nobody knows your logo, and that you are worthy of DI-FCS or DII. Keep using the logo only, maybe player numbers, but sell the brand. This made me curious so I went to the helmet project at nationalchamps.com. The only two FCS schools I found that have their full name on the helmet at Albany, which has UALBANY, and Stetson, which just has Stetson. Both of them I think look stupid, and Stetson is totally missing out on a opportunity to do something cool with their helmets, since they are the "Hatters." I didn't see a single DII school with their name on the helmet. In D-I Tulsa does it, Ohio does it, Southern Mississippi has "Southern Miss" University of Nevada - Las Vegas has "UNLV". In reviewing the helmets from FBS, FCS, and D-II. I did note that FBS more than anyone else uses one letter or some basic abbreviation of the school name. Maybe we should replace the block letters "Ball State" with a fancy "B" design. I would also note that most of the logo's on the D-II helmets I had never seen before and wouldn't have a clue who the school was.

Yep and whether we like them or not our design team has been giving these kids what they want. There are websites devoted to college uniforms and if you "drop the fire" these pics are recirculated thousands of times. Free Branding
