Matte Blue helmets for the Vols

What do you think?

Looks fine to me. I just want to win. If we are going to not wear orange this is the game to do that.

I love it.

Horrible thread title. Implies the Vols will wear matt blue helmets.

However, I like them and believe it'll get us 3 more points.

Don't love it, but don't hate it either.
Mostly want to smash the Vols (again).

Who is Matte Blue and what band does he sing for? Asking for a former Gainesville Sun Sports Writer.

Matte Blue trumps Creamsicle orange , Go Gators!

I’m almost tempted to say it looks better than the orange, but it’s not a matte finish. It’s shiny.

If we don't win by 35, I will be disappointed. Of course, with our defense, that means we may have to score 70 or more.

I actually kind of like the helmets, though the blue looks a bit like Ole Miss's color.

I thought that at first too

I like them but would have preferred the Gator head logo on the blue helmet.

I like the blue retro helmets, if for no other reason than that they remind me of Spurrier's playing days. A little walk down memory lane so to speak.

If you look, they are a matte finish. Only the stickers are shiney.

Blue helmets are sharp every now and then. Wear blue against our former rivals Tennessee. :)

I think I'd like them better if they were shiny and not matte.

The matte idea is kinda growing on me.

I was worried about this game, now with the help of these helmets I’m sure we’ll win by 8 TDs!

I was thinking the opposite. These gimmicks usually guarantee a loss.
