Black and...Silver?

Well, as expected Mizzou debuted their third helmet option last night. Also, as expected it is matte black with silver details including the facemask and "Super Tiger" logo.

Initial reaction is pretty...meh. The helmet itself looks alright, and it'll definitely help draw the attention of recruits (because that's the whole reason for having multiple helmets now right?). The silver just doesn't fit with the Mizzou look. Pairing it with the white jerseys makes for a pretty odd combination as you have white/black/gold throughout the uniform, but black/silver on the helmets. Here's the gameday uniform put together for Saturday.

As long as they win, I'm fine with the look. As long as this helmet is only worn once. I'm still holding out hope for a white helmet later in the season.
