What I Say The New Kansas Helmets Should Look Like & I’m Right

Posted on July 2, 2013 | 4 comments

I did this stuff in a little over an hour and a half to prove the point KU and Adidas should have spent more time on design and less time clicking the buy button at the helmet website. I don’t like the red KU helmet all that much but for this I decided to make one of each color.

Ok, so this took me hour and a half so a room full of people at Adidas needs to be fired.

This one just needs to happen today. Go throw that ugly red thing away and make this one. Rock Chalk needs to make it on to a helmet it is just that simple.

I thought that if they want to go matte black they should do a big ass blue chrome Jayhawk on the side and instead of the number on the side Rock Chalk Jayhawk because that is so much cooler.

I am not a fan of the KU letters on a helmet but if you are going to do it go big

I like the idea of having the number on the helmet and I like the idea of the Jayhawk on the helmet so why pick. I think this with the KU logo on the back or maybe even Kansas spelled out would be a good look. It also comes in black see below.

I am not a fan of the red helmet but if they have to go red I like the kansas script logo and the number below but lets just say no to red for now.

The white helmet should look like this. I know the Jayhawks don’t do much with just the head of the Jayhawk but I really like this helmet.

Just decide to do with the double logo on this one

So, Adidas anything you do, I can do better, I do everything better than, So sit down and take some notes.

My Take On The New Kansas Jayhawks Helmets Grade:B-

As you can see in the tweet above Kansas decided to spend a bunch of money on helmets and not so much money on design. Matte Black wow that’s new! Great thinking out of the box. New rule for all schools if you want to spend a shit ton of money on new helmets do something with the fucking decal that doesn’t make me yawn. Matte black, matte white, matte whatever is not a design it might be part of a design but you don’t just go yep make it matte and slap the same old logo on the helmet. That sucks and it is expensive. Matte I have no problem with but do something on it. The red helmet needs to go. White and royal blue helmets are fine. The powder blue might have worked but this crap of slap a number on one side bores me.

I am glad to see the Jayhawk on the helmet but having five helmet options two of which I could do without and a third I hate with the same logo on them is just bad design. I don’t know if this is Adidas or KU or a combo of the two of them thinking together but its just not good. I expect more.

Grade: B-

The Jayhawk on the helmet gets them a A points were deducted for lack of original thinking aka copying, deciding to use red, having the same look on all helmets and not having a stripe on a single helmet

This is my concept for bringing the Jayhawk back over a year ago.

I m going to spend the next two hours doing some new KU designs and guess what they will be better than what a team of Adidas designers came up with. Who is paying for this bad work???????????

Here is the updated version of the helmet from last year more concepts can be found at the link below
