Jim Criner special helmet

Alas, would never work. We no longer have inconsequential guys.
Let’s be serious. Would Campbell actually have used anything this season besides Blacks, with white pants as an “alternate”?
No, Campbell doesn’t use gold/yellow because he routinely uses black. Add yellow to that and who do we look like?
If a team had to rely on the color of the helmet to figure out who the stars were..............well there's no hope for that team.
All I'm saying is that if some day we were to do a Yellow/Gold set, I would much prefer the 1968-82 version of gold, maybe a little lighter. Keep the present yellow/gold but use it mostly for trim (or numbers if want a gold number).
At the rate Campbell is using black, I don't think it's really feasible to have a gold set, maybe later. There would be too many combo options with a gold set and there are only 6 Home games! It wouldn't be cost effective.
I don’t care what color they wear if they win. Winning cures everything
And the stupid styling of the 8 makes it look like a 9 at first glance.
At first-glance, that looks like two 8's to me.
They were our version of the helmet sticker. Clones were trying to do something different. Ohio State had the stickers and we decided to award helmets of different color to those who made plays or worked the butts off in practice. It was a pretty funny concept looking back. When I was little it helped me know who the best guys were

I like em both, 88 and 89! and #11!
More importantly I think Mr. Purdy can tell them apart!
I still think that's what caused a couple of the illegal formation/ineligible man downfield penalties early in the year. With 88/89 lined up next to each other, one on the line and one off, the refs need to be really sharp to keep them straight throughout the play.
I was going to suggest it get launched into the sun, but your idea works too. With the exception of one win over Nebraska, and Oklahoma, plus the arrival of Troy Davis, most of the rest was a mess. We had a couple good players, but the wins were few, and losses weren't very competitive.
Just looking at our scores against Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Iowa from that era, we were 2-34 with an average score being 37-13. Throw Colorado in and we can add 1 win and averaged 11 points a game. So out of 48 games against 4 opponents, we won 3 and couldn't average 2 TD's a game against any of the 4 opponents.
I'd throw up a bit if Campbell and team were to come out onto the field wearing those era unis.
So do the officials. They called a penalty on Kolar against TT (I think) maybe OU that negated a TD saying he was ineligible because he was covered up on the line when it was Soehner who was covered up.
