Okay, I will go ahead and say it at the risk of getting flamed.
The helmets are worse than the white helmets. I am all for a maroon helmet. But these are not the answer. The maroon is to dark. The maroon facemask makes the dark maroon look worse. For the most part, alternating and contrasting colors look better on helmets. Texas Tech's all black helmets look terrible. Texas A&M helmets look much better since they went back to the white facemask.
Then the final touch, the logo. It is terrible....small, plain, generic...just bad. The old MState was better. With that much maroon, the logo needs to be bigger and add some color or maybe add a white stripe down the middle. </p>
