Isn't the "issue" with the helmets more with the new safety design features, vs. the "clean" profile?  The first design difference I recall was when they started having that "teardrop" hole behind the rear longhorn horn.

Yeah I kept thinking all these players had their longhorns deformed in a similar way from helmet-to-something contact.

IMO it’s for TV. I liked the dark, leathery color against the all whites. That was some cold ass looking shit. 
 

this shit looks like a Cheetos wrapper. 

Probably. Even Ferrari changed their racing colors for TV, and for Marlboro. The original color was fucking badass. The tv color sucks ass.

100% agree re: the look of the old burnt orange on white. It meant binness.

It's both.  I get the safety feature designs for the new helmets but they still look like crap with all the cutouts / holes. 

Young's helmet.   Perfect, in all facets.
