New Look Needed

As some members of the UVM men's lacrosse team have been picking up awards from America East, I've been reminded about how much dislike their uniforms and helmets. I'll spend more time in another blog about their uniforms, but I would like to comment on the helmets.

In short, the helmets don't look good. They are too busy and the combination of gold and white doesn't work, or at least not the way UVM has done it. I don't know who designs the look for the team's helmets but they don't know what works. Hopefully the helmets the team used this year won't make another appearance.
Rather than just squawk about this years helmets I thought I would offer some suggestions. Please click the following links to see what I think would be good alternatives for the Catamounts.

Green & White Home Helmet

UVM athletics doesn't seem to like designing any part of any team's uniform in gold lately but I though the following would look good.

Gold & Green Home or Away Helmet

Rather than using gold, one of the school's official colors, UVM athletics has moved towards black. If this is really the direction they want, I designed a black helmet too.

Black & Gold Away Helmet

UVM's official colors are Green and Gold so here are my suggestions.

Green & Gold Option 1 Away Helmet

Green & Gold Option 2 Away Helmet


Green & Gold Option 3 Home Helmet

Hopefully UVM athletics will make some changes and the Cats will finally have some good looking helmets.
