that looks like chrome to me, and it certainly looked different than the normal grey in person.

If you zoom in, you can tell it's a gray finish & not chrome.

Ok, so if the chrome ones are ever worn then it'll be even more blinding.

But what color are the Buckeye leaves?

I don't see anything different from the ones that were worn against Michigan in 2012 and against va tech.

It's pretty clearly:

1) A thicker stripe, which could be construed as a throwback. The current 'combat unis' (va tech) have an oversized stripe but not that big.

2) Glossy nickel plating, like a truck bumper (or the Oregon Rose Bowl helmets) instead of a mixture of shiny and matte finish like the 2012 combat helmet.

I'm trying to see it, but they look identical to me.

The back view may be throwing me off...

The helmet finish is clearly a glossy chrome instead of the matte chrome of the 2012 helmet. The neck pad is also different, highlighting the super chrome theme (similar to what Oregon wore vs Wisconsin in Pasadena with the eye melting reflections of the sun)

Yea, I can see the neck pad difference now, it's very slight. I think I'd have to see the new ones in the sun to be able to tell a difference in the chrome.

I would like it if it was not for that huge ass stripe...I would like to see us get rid of that.

What's an ass stripe?

The stripe on our specialty helmets the last few years. Ass is actually a really appropriate adjective now that you mentioned it haha. I like almost everything about it but the stripe...I would like to see that helmet with no stripes and just the green Buckeye leaves Mili mentioned.

Noticed players started wearing the Riddell SpeedFlex helmet for the first time this season against UC (Ezekiel Elliott was one).

Hope it's more protection.

Spencer was rocking it earlier but EzE is new.

Back in my day, we called them skid marks. Kids these days...
